@John Have started using eBay again for small things I can't get elsewhere, but have taken to the practice of extensively researching the sellers feedback several pages before I even add their item to my watch list now.. over 90% scammers on that platform and the eBay system actively supports that, right to the point of automatically removing/hiding negatives left for some 'high grade' sellers (You'll see some buyers have resorted to leaving positives with negative explanations about this in a lot of feedbacks, currently the only way around it)..
