First of all you do have negative experience with eBay. In case you forgot do a search on "Paul-61" and "Minimoog".

However, as you said it had nothing to do with eBay but rather with your own incompetence

Second, I do not like using eBay - period. You never know who you are dealing with. THere is always risck in you getting ripped off. That is a fact. Despite all the protection programs that eBay offers there are way too many wiseguys out there selling junk on-line. So it is not that I don't like the idea of Ebay or buying things on line. I simply don't trust it enough to do it and always expect positive results. Kind of like using credit cards on-line. There are those who never had a problem with that. There are those who had tons. I had a bit of both.

It's not that I don't shop on-line at all. It's just that I try to avoid it if possible.
