I have been using QXL for about a year, both for buying and selling items.
I have managed to pick up some great bargins, for example a SMC 10/100 Network card for £8.
However, you need to be careful. Make sure that you check EXACTLY what it is you are bidding for. If you are unsure as to what the item is, use the 'Ask the seller a question' feature. This works quite well, but does not gurantee a response.
When you are bidding for something, always check the price of the item in the shops to make sure that the amount you have bid is realistic, especially if the item is second hand.
QXL do offer free buyers insurance which gives you some protection (up to £150) if you pay for, but never recieve the item, or if it is not what you bid for, but there are quite a few terms and conditions. (E.g you don't qualify if the seller has a member rating below 3)
Overall it is a good service, but you have to be careful.
