I've been using it for 6 years and never had a problem, its all down to how careful you are when bidding etc. I always check feedback and what people have said/bought/sold in the past. Gives you an idea of the person you are dealing with.

Bought something cheap, thought I had a bargin. Arrived & it looks fine but the box wasn't the genuine one. Emailed the seller & Im getting ignored

I thought I was getting a great deal on a genuine jr™ Doll, but when it arrived, it was just an action man with its legs cut off below the knee

I've used Ebay 32 times in the last 3 months, only had one bad transaction, where the guy accused me of a certain function (which the item didn't even have) not working

You know a company is doing well when they have to include google adsense to supplement their income.

Concentrated Hepatitis was another one, limited edition though. The doll also had a little feature where you said "LEE LEG" and its legs shot apart in an instant.

The older edition were called vauxcorsagal.
Very rare ones even came with the authentic spelling mistake of vuaxcorsagal.

Bet you don't get many of them to the pound. It's almost impossible to get a nice, clean, unmolested one

I know, it was slightly soiled, nowhere near mint. I went to the cupboard and got the Vax (that's a vacuum cleaner, not a car) out, and cleaned it, then gave it a spit and polish and sold it on
