    My advice is only accept paypal when selling, and always look at the sellers ratings when buying.

    there's nothing wrong with buying on ebay, I always makes sure the person has great feedback before I buy from him. A lot of positive feedback.

    I have bought and sold many times of Ebay, even as far away as Japan ( I am in Los Angeles) and have never had any problems.

    You can find great deals on a lot of stuff and make some great money at the same time.

    I have, but not lately. I've had mostly good experiences, until I ordered something from another country (China) and never received it. Fortunately it wasn't real expensive.

    It's not my thing to buy off of Ebay.

    I am always buying and selling on ebay, its easy and great, if your worried about people scamming you well just keep to these points:

    1. If it sounds too good to be true, its probably a scam
    2. If your worried about someone selling something, have a look at their feedback.
    3.Read peoples feedback, look for negative feedback they may have had, and read what the buyer/seller said.
    4.Read everything in the auction advert absolutely everything!
    5.Watch out for postage costs, some people make profit from the postage not the selling price.

    Will,
    hope this helps.

    I'll give advice that no one has mentioned here (I think): Contact the seller before buying, and see how he/she handles the communication. If they pressure you into bidding, they probably either want to scam you, or get a higher price for something you could get cheaper somewhere else. If they never respond, forget that. If they send really short responses like "No", "$45" (if you asked for the shipping cost), or something else, either they handle a lot of sales and are busy, or they just don't care and shipping will probably take a while. I've never had bad experiences there. If you're from Canada, request USPS (no custom taxes). Just do your research on the seller and products. Happy bidding!

    Hope that helps,
    Alexjdb

    I buy and sell.. So far so good.. Been doing it since the very beginning.. Just pay attention to feedback comments, communicate with buyer/seller, and stick to people that tend to sell a lot...
