In a nutshell there is none, its really the luck of the draw as to whether you get a runner or a bummer. Thats why i exercise caution whilst trading on yahoo.

Yes but how much protection is there at yahoo? I take your point about overpriced goods: before my Minolta deal struck gold, I was looking for an Canon Ixus - by far the most popular aps camera - and found that they went for more than they should have done. However, I guess it's just a case of waiting for the right one to come along. For example, if an advert has just text and is not very descriptive, without telling how much P+P is, it won't be as popular and tend to get overlooked, but often house the biggest savings. On the other hand, it makes it good for sellers, who can secure a good price.

Yes but i find Ebays popularity is also it achilles heel, sometimes items go for far more than they can be got elsewhere, there is often a better price, and another selection to be had at yahoo.

I am ashamed that anyone would want to sell their SNES, I would rather part with my right leg than my precious SNES.
I absolutely adore ebay, I mainly buy computer games and cds which it is terrific for. Just today in fact I bought a near-£200 Minolta APS camera for £51 and a fiver for P+P! However, I had my first bad ebay experience on the weekend. I was scouring the PS2 ads, and this unbelievable bundle came on: PS2, memory card, scart lead, 2 controllers, MGS2, Tony Hawks, GTA3 and Pro Evolution Soccer. Just what I was after. The reserve was £230 or Buy it now for £250. I took the latter, with delivery at £5. The seller was rated at 19, not three figures, but nonetheless absolutely fine. It had only been on sale for about 5 hours. However, he reneged on the deal, saying that he had lent it to a guy at work with a view to buying and now it was broken. Utter bull---. Clearly someone had offered him more money outside of ebay and he wouldn't sell it me. So I warned him I'd have to post negative feedback, he didn't care, so I did. But at least I wasn't out of pocket for it.
