Does anybody out there bid for their wines at auctions like EBay ?

No!. I don't trust EBay.
I will only bid from reputable auction house where I can inspect the wine prior. I don't mind paying a few bucks more just to be sure.
Cheers

Based on my experience, I estimated around 20-30% of the wines are dud in the auction houses, let alone ebay!

How about selling wines at eBay? Any better experience?

What I've seen on my few jaunts into Ebay is that the prices aren't even that great - so many people clamber in looking for a bargain that the prices for a lot of wines look stupidly high.
I prefer F2F auctions - at least you don't get a thousand people all around the country killing every bargain in the last five minutes.
My luck with auctions has been pretty good so far - out of fifty bottles, one oxidized and one a bit tired (both 91s bought late last year).

I have not had the need to sell any wine I bought yet.
