Buying on EBay?

RE: Buying on EBay?
i've been making transactions on ebay for years - out of the hundreds i've made i've only had about 3 have issues.
using credit card through paypal is by far prefferable to money orders or checks because if there is a problem i can just file through visa. the only time i didn't get my money back was from a money order.
just check the sellers feedback for signs of trouble - make sure they have a good score for selling not just for buying. some fraudulent sellers will bump their score up by buying hundreds of items for less than a buck.
other than that, read the description very carefuly and make no assumptions about what you are bidding on, just ask questions and keep all the answers to those questions untill after you recieve it and are happy with it.

Ebay is a great place to find deals. i have purchased alot of merchandise from ebay and have had no problems. as kohburn said - look at their selling score and use paypal. i am currently waiting on three items to arrive that i purchased through ebay. sometimes it is better to look elsewhere though. i found my yoshi slip on 35 dollars cheaper than i could find it on ebay. also my icon recon pants i found cheaper elsewhere also. but 99% of the time "you'll find it on ebay"
