They took away the ability for a seller to leave negative feedback and replaced it with a case department for sellers that allows them to give buyers who don't pay a strike against them, and sellers are allowed to specify if they don't want buyers with any strikes to bid on there items. I believe if a buyers has 2 strikes they get suspended and the third strike there eBay account gets deactivated.

You want to buy a wii console from England of eBay But you know that Australian games wont work on the console if you buy games from England to play on Wii will they work in Australia?

I don't see why not. The Wii just needs to be plugged in, with the working games. I don't see how the outlets are any different from one another. If the games are meant for that Wii, then they should work. I'm not sure about Wi-Fi, though.

New Mac user - am thinking of buying a mac on eBay with Mac OS X 10 4 10 Does this mean it has windows on it?

No. Unless it explicitly states that Windows is being supplied with it then it will only have Mac OS X 10.4 . Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows are examples of operating systems, the basic software and environment in a computer. If it says it comes with a certain operating system, like Mac OS X, it will usually have only that operating system installed. Generally, Apple computers will have a Mac operating system, and non-apple computers will have Microsoft Windows, Unix or Linux.

What do people want on eBay?

You can sell almost ANYTHING on eBay. With no experience selling, I sold my first item on eBay in 2003. Since then I've completed over 1,000 transactions--most as a seller, some as a buyer. When I was unemployed for 18 months, eBay was a godsend. I starting researching what I could sell by looking at other sellers' listings.

There are print and online guides that give more detailed advice on how to sell items on eBay.
