Default How old were you when you first started using eBay?

Were you on the jam as soon as you turned 16 or is it something you didn’t really tap into until well-into your 20s?

Rarely get disappointed and even if have problem the seller either replaces or lets you keep the goods and they issue a 100% ( or close) refund

Nope, same as PayPal, and Twitter. Never had/used them either.

Paypal is great for online purchases because you have a bit of insurance with them if something goes wrong with a purchase and you're not getting any satisfaction with the seller.

Twitter is a cesspit, I don't use it either

I don’t usually buy things from sellers (as I don’t use eBay and rarely use Amazon).

The only things I really use nowadays are instagram (but not very often as I’m not travelling now), WhatsApp, Facebook (but again very rarely, like one or two posts a year - this year a couple more because of the hike haha, as I don’t have the app on my phone) and Amazon for the occasional purchase (usually something not very important lol).

X is not a cesspit. You can choose to see only posts from whom you follow and no one else

So if you don't follow horrible people it's no worse than any social media you consume

The MSM want you to believe that however, despite all using itthemselves

For obvious reasons, lol

I've used it on and off since it was created

I've used it to buy and sell. It's good for buying nearly new phones or computers at a reasonable price. I wouldn't consider buying anything else.

We use it for all manner of things including difficult to source or near end of line products that you are used to but struggling to find

Its so customer friendly as well as you can fine tune it so finely ..

I am into reptiles and vivariums cost a fortune so I search for vivariums then select within 10 miles AND collect only ..

I normally get £100+ vivariums in good condition for about a tenner .. then when I collect it and get chatting they often GIVE me loads of extras like hides and bowls and foliage etc

That trick works for any item of a decent size or weight as very few people want to collect goods themselves
