I have used Ebay to buy things such collectibles and a 8Gb minidisk for my Mp3 player. I like it well enough. I really enjoyed looking at the stuff on Etsy. I haven't anything from this site, but I liked the different mash-ups they have that enhance the site by enabling users to search item by color, or location of the seller. I like all the sites well enough, but I honestly don't do that much media buying so I don't really plan on using Half.com that much. Amazon I would use only for books. Craigslist is kind of cool because it is fairly local but there are some horror stories about people being robbed or killed when trying to purchase items they find on the list.
I would love to sell things that I have made or things that I no longer need. It seems like a fairly straight forward way to make extra money. (Yes, I know it can really complicated too.)
I have used PayPal for all of my transactions on Ebay. The only problem that I have had is when I forgot the password and it took an inordinate amount of time to retrieve it. I had a hard time getting a response from them. Since then I have been reluctant to buy things through PayPal, but only because I can't remember the password. But it would not keep me from using it totally.
