ebay

eBay Inc. (/ˈiːˌbeɪ/ ɪ-B-ay;) is an American multinational corporation and e-commerce company, providing consumer-to-consumer and business-to-consumer sales services via the Internet. It is headquartered in San Jose, California. eBay was founded by Pierre Omidyar in 1995, and became a notable success story of the dot-com bubble. Today it is a multibillion-dollar business with operations localized in over 30 countries.
The company manages eBay.com, an online auction and shopping website in which people and businesses buy and sell a broad variety of goods and services worldwide. In addition to its auction-style sales, the website has since expanded to include "Buy It Now" shopping; shopping by UPC, ISBN, or other kind of SKU (via Half.com); online classified advertisements (via Kijiji or eBay Classifieds); online event ticket trading (via StubHub); and other services. It previously offered online money transfers (via PayPal), which was a wholly owned subsidiary of eBay from 2002 until 2015. The website is free to use for buyers, but sellers are charged fees for listing items and again when those items are sold.

    Would buying a refurbished Panasonic 65 LZ2000 from Panasonic via Ebay represent too much of a risk?

    It comes with a year's warrantee , thirty day returns policy and is about 45% cheaper than the MZ2000 equivalent. That puts it a similar price point to the Samsung S90c so maybe not such a great deal except it is the meant to have excellent audio and out of the box video calibration. Apparently...

    Ebay have changed seller policy. Without giving bank details and allowing terms, you cannot sell. They now want to access your bank account directly, to enable them to make payments in, but also take debits out. I dont feel comfortable. Ive been buying selling on ebay for many years, using...
