Somepeople find ebay as an excellent service where you can buy nearly anything. You can buy things that are hard to get and also for real cheap. My experience i have bought a couple of designer clothes from it for really low prices and i think its wonderful.

My brother also buys designer gear from it. Recently he bought a diesel t-shirt. When he got it he realised it was fake. He replied to the seller and the seller said he is not going to take it back. Whats worst he even says its fake himself. He also said that it keeps every one else happy by buying this stuff for cheap. The problem is the other people dont know its fake and they are still buying from him.

This person who was selling it is a power seller and people would trust this person and think that the things hes selling is real. He has lots of positive feedback and only 3 negative feedback(one from my brother).

My advice is to only buy items with picture so you can maby tell if its a fake or not. Research on the person who is selling it. Contact the person asking him if the item is real.

Since my brother has got this fake top its made me more aware of what im buying on ebay and also ive stopped buying alot of things and hardly buy anything from it.

Some good advice. Ebay can provide a good service but is open to a lot of scams. Maureen

I've only had one bad experience in 2+ years of using EBay - a fake CD which I cannot sell on. I've just chalked it up to experience as the seller refuses to refund me. Regards Lexy

I used to use ebay a lot, until i fell foul of the same thing. Spent a fortune on a watch (almost the RRP) to find its fake!, my adivce is, write to ebay or go to trading standards, that way you have more chance of getting your money back.

Advantages: Simplicity is the key for this sight. Listing an item is no harder than going to a car boot sale
Disadvantages: Overall very few. The main dis-advantage would be fakes, in my experience
