Has it become the scammers paradise? Not talking about selling a 3xxx series card but even older cards. As ebay in most cases sides with the buyer I think there will be a massive increase in buyers claiming that the card was damaged etc.

To be honest I wouldn't take the risk, buyer just has to claim a fault and ebay will always side with them. To be honest I'd rather sell it to a friend at knockdown or give it to a mate who needs it, or wait until you can take it into a high street second hand place.

exactly, the buyer can pick up your card throw it out of the window and claim it was broken in transit get a full refund and you are stuck with a smashed 600£ card. No appeal, no comeback.
Not a chance

Don't sell anything of value on ebay. Only way to get them moving is filing a police report through action fraud and you'll still only end up dealing with some cust service rep that will contradict even themselves to get rid of you and side with the buyer. Even if you have all the evidence and photos. They'll tell you that you should accept a certain % of loss like any other business.
Many buyer only accounts - never sell to anyone who has only purchased as they wont care about their feedback. Watch for shared accounts too, many shared accounts which you arent allowed to do and still they side with them. It's setup for businesses as an outlet. They dont need, want private sellers who get rid of their stuff from time to time.

And they are changing their payment rules soon so that as a seller, paypal needss direct access to your bank account for you to get paid. (take the money off you when they want).

Never did and never will sell and electronics, tech or computer hardware on ebay
Will only use ebay for buying stuffs as how heavily bias it is toward the buyers.

No problem with that as there will be no proof of payment.

I would buy maybe but not sell.
yep cash on collection or bank transfer.
mate of mine made a noob mistake of selling a phone on ebay he accepted paypal payment and buyer to collect. buyer turned up done paypal payment though ebay and took the phone. buyer than canceled with ebay saying they didnt want the phone for some reason but because it was manually collected paypal gave money back and buyer kept the phone.
cash only or bank transfer.

No way, the fees are a joke also. I just use FB marketplace, sold a 1070 ti on there for £300 within 12 hours of listing it a few weeks back. Guy came out collected it from my house and paid cash, job done.
Another vote for FB marketplace here, recently sold my GPU.
Priced at average of recent auction complete, less fees. Buyer within an hour, collected next day... demo'd through the window for Covid Safe
Lots more people asking if it was available.
Would have listed on here, however the MM has a pretty low audience price cap.
No chance I would use auctions for anything of significant value.
From the auction 'buyer forums' seems that you can get your seller account sanctioned for not accepting Paypal or refunding someone who used it when you want cash on collection.
A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush.....
