Ebay is a great place to buy hard to find items or get great deals. However Ebay itself is just a selling venue. It's not the safety of Ebay you need to worry about. It is the particular buyer that you purchase an item from that you will be dealing with. Check their feedback rating and the actual comments left. Feadback ratings are not like test scores. 97% may be a great test score, but it should be considered a horrendous feedback rating. My personal rule of thumb is: 100% to 99.5% = good rating, 99.5% - 99.0% = be somewhat cautious, 99.0% - 98.5% = I really have to want the item to take the chance buying from this person, 98.5% or lower = don't even consider buying from this person. Always pay via Paypal, it is the safest way by far.

I somewhat have been a broking on Ebay for 9 years... There was GOLDS public sale, Yahoo Auctions, Amazon, and a few others. They in no way somewhat have been given off the floor like Ebay, and Ebay has grow to be the main good venue obtainable. Golds grew to become right into a small community orientated public sale internet site. the persons have been friendly and the auctions have been cool. Too undesirable they went under. i might have enjoyed to have taken all my Ebay business enterprise over there whilst i grew to become into nonetheless energetic w/ Ebay

It's a great place to find hard to find items and to get items cheaper than in the store (possibly). You can either bid on the item or buy it upfront (if that's the option). It's a great way to do business. I sell tons of things through ebay. Just remember to look at the sellers feedback remarks. You will see what past buyers thought of this person.

Ebay is great! Just be sure to check the sellers feedback and make sure they dont have a lot of negative feedbacks. The most expensive thing we bought on Ebay was a $15,000 engagement ring. Good luck!!

eBay is not responsible for items they just help sellers sell their items. when you look at an itemof a seller check their feedback past buyers left them. 100% means all past buyers were satisfied. read their comments too to check if they are any good. EBay works as an auction you bid on items and the person who is willing to pay more will get it. If you have any more questions you should contact the seller don't be afraid to ask they should be willing to answer your questions based on the item you want.

The first couple of times I used eBay, I got my products with no problem.
But the last time I ordered, I never received the product and couldn't follow up with the seller. It has been a year, and I haven't used eBay since then and will never use it again.
Be careful...................

Ive never had a problem. New in package stuff is usually a safe bet. Check their feedback It shows what people thought of their experience with the seller
