is ebay really reliable? like if i buy something is it true sometimes ppl wont send it?

I use Ebay a lot and have had very few problems.

Look at the seller's feedback rating - if it's good then they are unlikely to mess around.

Pay by Paypal if at all possible

and do not accept offers to buy from people without going through all the Ebay procedure.

There is cheap junk on there but the same goes for local shops really.

Make sure you read all of the listing and not just the title.

It widespread use suggests it is trustworthy. The company has ways to let the eBay community rate those that sell on it and makes transparent sellers' past activity. So you can make a judgment. But as with any market, always exercise common sense before parting with your money.

ebay only provides a site so sellers and buyers can meet and conduct business.

All sales are between the seller and the buyer.

As with all things, check out the sellers record on file and see how many buyers have had a problem with the seller.

good luck

I shop on ebay quite abit. It's best to look at someones ratings i.e. if they're a power seller, etc. If they have a good rating then it's not likely rthey screw you over. If they do you can just get onto ebay about it, they may offer to refund whatever you've paid for.

Always lok at a sellers rating before buying. f they have a good rating they will probably not rip you off. I have bought lots of things off ebay with no problems

Yes. I've never had a problem with it (knock on wood). I've ordered stuff from $1.00 in value to $500. Just make sure that u get someone who has many stars!!! And u should not hav a problem. Good luck! :)

If you use Paypal then it is very reliable. Never buy anything from anyone unless you can use Paypal. Trust me from experience.

Deal only with those people that use PAY PAL... then you can get great resolution on problems (if any)
