Has anyone bought from E-Bay is so has anyone bought any used video tapes,and what did you think?

I've bought AND sold on eBay.. generally a brilliant experience, only one unfortunate incident, and that was along time ago... I haven't bouhgt tapes (I only use DVD's now lol)

I also have bought and sold on ebay,but have not been on for a while ,but yes I have bought about 4 video tapes from different sellers and had no problems, maybe I was lucky Sheila

I am downsizing at the moment so selling on Amazon; also trying to sell some of Dad's books, C.D.'s etc. and having no trouble. I know where I am up to. Can't seem to get the hang of E-bay---but that's me!

Elaine, isn't it 8 legged freaks ? or was the quality of the tape that badly degraded ? lol

I use e-bay. I haven't bought any videa cassettes, but I did actually sell 54 the other day, the buyer got a gr8 deal, whay do you ask?? Lisa x

I'm a Star Trek fan but not as fanatical as to want all the latest stuff on DVD. So I am buying videos and am nearly complete with Voyager, my Son has bought some Deep Space Nine and Star Trek the Next Generation. These were all bought from private sellers and I am very happy to be able to get so many videos at such a good price, the sellers are happy as most are Star Trek fans as well and seem to be upgrading to the DVDs. I won't buy new videos or DVDs I would rather wait for the bargains, not that I am mean but I used to spend a lot of money on videos years ago but found after a few plays they were just left there.

Yeah I never buy stuff like that from America plus postage costs are much higher from there. I hear with DVDs you can play US on your computer, but not on your player, I don't know if its true? Pat x

Thank you for all your replies, thay have been most helpful. Lisa I was looking for Band of Brother's on Video --saw it as used on Amazon and thought E Bay may have it.

I've sold stuff but never bought anything. I found I could get new DVD's pretty cheap from CDWOW on the net. They send them from all over the world cheaper than what you can buy them for in HMV or Woolies. Jack x

Like that about used double cream--it's like re-cycled toilet paper--lol

erm - yes - have bought loads from ebay including videos - and at the moment vintage ganzbro wrinkle puppets - and genealogy discs and books

LOL I want to know What it is USED Double Cream? what was it used for??????????? the mind boggles. Around the time George Best had his liver transplant some joker put part of a liver up for sale (with photo) claiming it was part of George's old one, AND HE GOT BIDS!!!!!!!!!! Pat x

Yeh - l bought 2 charcoal drawings by my grandfather,fantastic !!!!!!!!! and no problems:o)))))) Jude sarf wales

AHH ok Ann, personally, we have had no trouble buying or selling or e-bay, but have recently noticed some scams, people are putting in pictures of mp3 players and letting people bid for it, when all they're really getting is a e-book, we helped a guy the other day, he had bid £89 for what he thought was an mp3 player, and was actually an e-book. he was very pleased we let him know, luckily he got his money back.
