I have been selling and buying on ebay for the last 10 years.
I have still got 100% positive feedback.Having said that it takes some time to work out the 'vibe'.
I have sold many of my painting on there, clothes, china,you name it.
Also I have bought from them too....I go on 1-2 times a week, and all the people except say 3 have been wonderful.
I bought last month a little notebook, and it never came for 21 days.
So I sent a nice reminder to the seller.
Turns out she was busy having a baby :) so people do also have busy lives, and forget at times.Even if someone has done wrong by me....I just don't leave any feedback, for them.
I treat people nice, and I think they know that....even if they have made a mistake.It has happened a few times, and I just wait.
I also bought 2 bracelets, and they were broken....ebay stepped in, and gave me a full refund, 10 days later.
The money went straight into my Paypal account, and I didn't have to do a thing.
I must say I have met 4 quite odd people, and I have met some really nice ones too. :)
ebay is not for everyone.
