I've used Ebay for years mainly to buy things, but recently I've started using it for selling.
I've got to say it's excellent.
You can often find products on there that are significantly cheaper than they are in high street stores as the sellers don't have the same overheads.
The thing I especially like though is the customer service. Presumably because with every transaction you can review the seller, pretty much everyone I've bought off via Ebay has had fantastic customer service.
I shall continue to use Ebay.

I've had a shop on eBay since 2004 and agree with the Reviwer. However I would excercise caution depending on what your selling and would offer the below advice to sellers:
1) Always send items by recorded or special delivery where a signiture is required.
2) Never send items until payment has been received and has cleared.
The only negative with eBay are the fee's. If you add on the Paypal commision charges they can total up to 20% of the product price. That's worth considering if you are trading regularly. Shop fee's are lower but you pay a minimum of £14.98 per month just to keep it hosted. VAT however is only charged at the Swiss rate which at leasts offsets some of the effect.
