Just so you know, you've probably been lucky so far, but eventually, you will find your typical eBay retard. That site does tend to attract the more trashier side of humanity and thus, you get uneducated people with middle school education who don't understand some of the most basic concepts of buying and selling.
If you are selling, you will get these buyers who just can't get it through their third grade mind that shipping costs more than $0.01 and when you sell them something that weights 2 -3 pounds for $5.00, they get infuriated when you charge them $8.00-$9.00 for priority mail shipping. It doesn't matter what the item is worth, some buyers just don't understand shipping charges. For example, NFL 2k1 for the Dreamcast is worth about $0.50, but I'm not going to sell it to you for less than $3.00 cause the shipping for that item is going to be somewhere around $2.50 (packing material, ink, mailer/box + USPS cost). I'd rather just donate it to the goodwill and get a tax write off than sell it for less than the price of shipping.
If you are buying, you will get these sellers who attempt to sell you garbage and claim that it works. I have had the worst luck with console systems. Tested and working mean nothing to me in a description when it comes to consoles. I once bought a Sega Saturn that was claimed tested and working. When I got it, it had no protection in the box at all, and sure enough, USPS played football with it and when it got to me, poof, didn't work. That's just one example of many I've had with sellers who don't use common sense.
