eBay - no deal any longer

I used to buy a lot of spinning fiber on ebay, and I sold some of my homeschooling stuff there. My chief peeve with ebay is that their anti-fraud service has gone from decent to nonexistent. Their current 'dispute resolution' mechanism merely tells you to communicate with the other party! As if that's going to solve anything when a seller is shipping pictures of electronics instead of the item, etc.

As for shipping charges and stuff that's more expensive than retail ... caveat emptor. It's a free market.
