    You can get better deals direct from the suppliers anyway =)
    Actually if you troll through the software section of eBay is sort of resembles the DP freebies forum (except they are charging for it)

    I no longer use eBay. Never been scammed but nowadays I don't trust many people on there and its not worth the risk in my opinion.

    It's very difficult to nail scammers as one doesn't know at first place whether the opposite party is genuine or fake....:confused:

    Why you are selling Ipod Touch?
    Don't like it ?

    Had only positive history of buys at Ebay, but only cheap, below $100 items.

    Won't risk buying 2k laptop there.
