    Buying stuff off Ebay?

    I'm considering buying sum decks from ebay but don't really trust it. How reliable is it and what kind of contract do you have? What happens if what I buy fucks up?

    Cheers

    If ur selling and they pull out then u can claim your fees back (say £200 for decks would be about £5 fees)

    If ur a buyer and the seller cocks up theres not as much protection.

    If ur a seller u wait till buyers funds clear before sending goods, then ur safe

    Just check out the seller b4 u buy to check he's reliable etc. I was wary when I started using ebay but I've had no problems so far.

    I'm addicted to eBay, always on there. As Lee says...check the sellers feedback rating, it's a good way to judge them.

    Just check the sellers feedback ( the number beside his user name) - most sellers are very reliable hence it's overwhelming success.

    I did get shafted selling something right enough and it was dam annoying. :mad:

    bit of advice for you..sign up for pay pal before you buy anything.....

    i've been waiting ages for my pay pal number to come through & i can't buy the stuff i want til i receive it!!! :)

    yeah, pay pal is a good system
    last year b4 it came into effect, you had to post cheques off and wait ages for your stuff

    your paypal number is the small charges they made when you made your first payment

    ie- mine was 79p and 74p

    you just enter those amounts when asked, and its ready to use!

    Paypal drew £200 out my account TWICE without my permission, ive since cancelled my account nochex.com is far safer

    have a look at paypalsucks.com , its a little crude but all true

    Paid by PayPal.

    He must have stuck it on a rocket as I just "performed the transaction" yesterday PM.

    There's some other goodies on the way to :D
