Can you buy these electronics and whatnot? Very curious.?

Question

Well you know how sometimes when you are surfing on the web, and you randomly get an advertisement such as you winning an iPod and a Toshiba Laptop and Blackberries and all of that? Well, do they really work? They just ask you to type in your name and email, and phone etc. They tell you it's for free, but at the end do they make you pay? One more thing: When you purchase something on eBay, then do you only enter your name and address, and they just send you the item? You only pay the price they tell you on eBay, plus shipping and handling. Nothing else, right?

Answer 1

Those ads, make you sign up for all kinds of c**p before they even give whatever they are giving away, they are a scam. Ebay is a great way to shop, you set up an account, and I advise using paypal to keep your credit card info private. So when you purchase something all you pay is the cost plus shipping sometimes sales tax and insurance. Ebay only charges you a fee when you sell an item, same with paypal, they charge you when you deposit money into your account, using your card to pay for a purchase does charge a fee.

Answer 2

its a scam! they get you to spend so much money on something you would normally buy, to deposit money in a bank you never heard of, to accept a credit card that no right thinking person would want, then after They have taken all they can take, they give you some refurbished thing that you could have bought from a reputable reseller for 1/3 the price.
