Answer 4

you better look at the sellers feedback. If they have a lot of positive feedback from selling, then go for it.  

Answer 5

i would say yes you would probaly be better of buyinf it from the apple store but ebay is good make sure yu read ALL THE INFO  

Answer 6

You can, but make sure the person who you're buying it off has a very high buy/sell rating. You can check this on the profile of the seller, it's called feedback. Just check that there isn't any negetave feedback that says things like "item wasn't recieved, no refund." If you do see things like that, move on from that seller.

Everything I have bought off eBay has been fine, so this should be too. Paying with PayPal is recommended, as it is the safest and most trusted form of payment on eBay. Just remember, eBay does have some help for risky sellers, so do a bit of homework.

Good luck.

Answer 12

ebay is a good site.

Answer 13

check the seller's feedback and make sure how positive it is

also make sure you read ALL the infor about whichever one you decide on

Answer 14

I wouldn't trust ebay with a tooth I pulled out of my mouth myself.

It's probably either stolen or has problems. I used to love ebay but it's all a scam.

If you insist on buying it though, read the entire listing, ask any questions you have of it---and if the seller doesn't answer--don't buy it. If you can, copy the entire listing and paste it into a blank notebook page. Buy it with paypal too. If there is a problem and the seller refuses to talk, you can get a refund from paypal. Been there, done that. I bought a NEW phone off ebay, but when I got it, it was messed up----had been wet and repainted. Worked only when it wanted to. Seller wouldn't answer questions....returned phone and got a full refund. Also, seller had moved and I got the phone back too.  

Answer 15

I have been buying and selling on eBay since 1999, there are trusted sellers and then some not to trust.  If you do decide, look at their feedback.  Pay with PayPal if possible, this was you are protected and if something goes wrong, you can get help with getting your money back.  eBay has a way of helping too on risky sellers, but just be wise and do your homework.  

Answer 16

always check seller feedback. also, paypal kinda insure you....i suggest getting one!

Answer 17

pay using paypal .... good protection and safe

Answer 18

It's not ebay you're trusting, it's the person using ebay to sell an item.  Check their feedback, make sure other people who bought from them were satisfied!

Answer 19

yea but dont do it, just buy at store

Answer 20

all ipods come with a one year warranty, ask the owner when they bought the ipod, this would ensure that the ipod would still be covered if you were to have any issues.  

Answer 21

if you want to buy a NEW one, i would go to a store. cos once you buy something on ebay, you can't really return it if it gets broken.

Answer 22

You should be able to.  It is known for it's reliability and being the online shopping site.

Answer 23

Why don't you buy it at the apple store or online on apple.com? If you are getting it very cheap, it is probably too good to be true. However, ebay transactions are safe; they have some sort of guaranty

Answer 24

As long as the seller has a good feedback rating and you pay using Paypal

Answer 25

It REALLY depends.  I won a new iPod Touch off there, brand new, for $230, that was good.  I also bought a new Treo phone which turned out to be a crappy version that had glitches.  

It really depends on the seller.

I've purchased and sold quite a few things off of eBay, and I've found that it is best to NOT purchase anything from Wholesalers or Powersellers that have sold more than 10,000 items.   While you may think they have more experience, they don't give you as good of quality in shipping it off quickly, and usually don't give you a quality product.  

NEVER BUY REFURBISHED.

It will always turn out to be c**p, if you can't see a picture of the actual product your buying, do not buy.  The few "light" scratches might be right in the center of the screen of that fancy new iphone.

But I digress, You can certainly find good things on eBay.  If they have pictures of the actual product, have good feedback, and the price is right, I would buy it.  Make sure they have a good refund just in case though, this is crucial.

Good Luck!
