I've bought hundreds of things off eBay in the UK. In fact, I buy nearly everything online from eBay, and I have never had a problem, either buying or selling.
I have returned items and got refunds, or reported a damaged item and gotten a refund.

I've bought a couple dozen things off of ebay. Usually records, graphic T's and small electronics. Probably the most expensive thing I bought was a $400 G-Shock from Japan and that sale went great.
The only bad things that has happened was I've received a few bad bootleg vinyls. They play fine but have no collectors value.
I also bout a fake pair of Bang & Olufsen A8 Earphones from over seas.
It was such a bad copy and sounded so shitty I gave him a negative review and said he was selling counterfeit merchandise and so he gave me this negative review in "engrish"

had a couple bad experiences about 10 years ago, but have since bought and sold hundreds of things on there. it's not a perfect system, but if you're trying to find something, it's likely that it's on there and cheaper than anywhere else.

My ex-wife sold a Coach purse on eBay for $350. Receiver got the parcel, even left good feedback. Then a week later called her credit card company to say the purchase was not authorized. PayPal/eBay sided with her and took the $350 out of her account. In the end: no purse, no money, no recourse.
PayPal can do anything they want with your money without telling you. It's in the fine print (which nobody reads). Be wary of them and NEVER send any goods without insurance/signature confirmation.

You know how you solve that if you sell a lot -- intermediate bank account. I NEVER let PayPal access to my main bank account for numerous reasons. Instead I have a cheap plan one that PayPal is connected to that when funds are placed into it, immediately gets transferred to my real account. And never let any money sit in the actual PayPal account the second its released.
