It is definitely worse in terms of much less protection for sellers and the fact that buyers cannot receive negative feedback pretty much makes it open season. Buyers are much more brazen about feedback knowing there is no retaliation.

All of that said, in terms of actual bad transactions, I have to say that I really am not having any more than I did ten years ago there. I think it is much easier for buyers to get away with things now but overall, the amount of problems I personally have is still very small. There are times when it gets frustrating but there really are few options out there and none offer the exposure of eBay.
