Ive found selling on here a very good, overwhelmingly positive experience. Far better than ebay or face book. (I dumped ebay when they dumped PayPal and frankly Facebook is a last resort for cheap parts and job lots of clearance stuff when selling). But then Im totally honest about the stuff I sell, put plenty of close up photos and try to answer all question to the best of my ability.
Buying has been a slightly more mixed bag, but then the sage words of @jimo746 ring very true....."assume it's probably not quite as nice in real life as it is in the pics"......its not that people are trying to pull a fast one (or so i prefer to tell myself) its more people have differing standards.....what exactly is good / excellent/ poor!
For me excellent is basically new or totally refurbished to the best available standard.....but hey....thats my issue not the sellers in reality......so dialing down the expectation is sound advice. That or ask for better ( in focus and having the object somewhere near the camera is a good start people) photos is always an option.
