Sorry you had that bad experience.
I prefer AE to eBay most of the time, and I have never had any issues with things not arriving. Perhaps I was just lucky to choose sellers that were more reliable.
I always choose AT LEAST the AE standard shipping method - pay the extra few bucks, as it seems to be worth it. The standard free shipping I think is the one that takes friggin' ages to arrive. For more expensive purchases, I go for the DHL shipping. Much more expensive, yes, but DHL is usually here in roughly a week.
Not saying that was suitable for you, I'm just saying what I do.
For small cheap stuff, I always go for AE standard shipping for the extra few bucks as mentioned. I don't bother using AE Premium Shipping, as that tends to be quite expensive also, but I can report having good success with arrivals using AE Standard Shipping option.
If a seller does not offer those shipping options and only has free shipping, I tend to look for another seller that DOES offer those choices.
