Up until about a month ago I would use my Mom's acct and her address. It was something that we set up when my dh was in the Navy. She would rebox everything into a larger box and send it off maybe once a month.
My dh gave me a pandora bracelet and my Mom told me to start looking on ebay. I saved a ton and most of them are new and unused. I bought so many that I'm on my 2nd bracelet.
My dh set me up an acct and a paypal acct so I can now order my own. I average maybe 2 a month.

I was off it for a while, and then sold two things. I nearly fell over.. 10% final value fee for buy it now! Luckily what I sold wasn't super expensive, but still.. that seems really high to me.
And it's so geared to buyers now I don't know that I'd sell on there anymore, aside from the cost. I sold a Coach purse and wallet, both authentic, and luckily had normal buyers who were happy with them, and we all went on with life.
On the buying end, ugh. Stupid me, I decided to buy two Coach purses on that site. The first one was sent super fast, positive feedback but turned out to be a fake. That one, I just went through eBay, returned it and got my money back. I didn't even leave her negative feedback (I did leave neutral) since I'm not sure she was intentionally fraudulent.
The other one, sigh.. the seller is a massive fraud. She's up to 15 negatives now (none when I bought) of listing things she doesn't own and not responding to messages or refunding money. I went through Paypal and 11 days later got a refund.
So I was lucky in that I had the buyer protection, and that's been great. BUT, at the same time, I was honest and wasn't trying to screw anyone over. What happens if a buyer does that just to be a dick? I don't know that sellers have as much recourse.
I'll still buy on eBay. I got a Kindle case for my Paperwhite for $6 that was cheaper than anything comparable on Amazon.

I use to order quite a bit, but I got tired of dealing with some to the sellers on there and haven't ordered from them in years.

Not nearly as often as I used to. I now go to Amazon instead of eBay when looking for something.

I used to buy from ebay regularly several years ago. Now I only go there for hard to find items.

A couple of times a month on average. I just buy new items that I can't find somewhere else.
