.................... although they are annoying as I now have to get my fees back, relist it, get scammed again, etc...

I haven't bothered using it since they introduced that dumb rule, of sellers not been able to give bad feedback where applicable 
I've got nothing to hide and now I've got nothing much to gain

I only buy on there now.
Fees too high, you can't leave feedback and there are far too many dodgy people using it.
Add that to joke service that is paypal and selling on there is just hassle.

DCI:- Take a picture of your ****, print it out and send it to the scammer's address.
For added sarcasm, place an X on one of your **** cheeks a write "kiss here"

"WELL, PRINCE, Genoa and Lucca are now no more than private estates of the Bonaparte family. No, I warn you, that if you do not tell me we are at war, if you again allow yourself to palliate all the infamies and atrocities of this Antichrist (upon my word, I believe he is), I don't know you in future, you are no longer my friend, no longer my faithful slave, as you say. There, how do you do, how do you do? I see I'm scaring you, sit down and talk to me....
.

.
... In the first case it was neccessary to surmont the sensation of an unreal immobility in space and to recognize a motion we did not feel. In the present case it is similarly neccessary to renounce a freedom that does not exist and to recognise a dependence of which we are not personally conscious."
They would be the first and last paragraphs of War and Peace.
I'll now be hiding and unavailable for some time

Ebay Novice here!
Oh, I see, you send out the item and the tracking number whereupon they promptly withdraw payment and wait for your item to arrive!
