Answer 2

EBay has nothing to do with trust issues.  It is the sellers you have to watch.  You can check the sellers scores, always look for someone who is experienced, more than 100 as a score or preferable someone with over 1000.  Then make sure percent score is better than 98%.  Read all of the listing and make sure everything is as you want it to be.  If you have a question you can contact the seller and ask further questions.

I am a seller and a buyer on ebay, and find that if I do my homework I always have a good experience.

Answer 3

I trust my grandma, put your computer in a pan,, put salt on it,, and cook it in the oven for about 20-30 min. on 425 degrees,,, then take it out and place it on a cooling rack and let alone in a dark room for 30 minutes,,, you may want to put and icepack under the tray,, then you can apply frosting,,, use PIllsbary I reccoment,,, (the chocolate kind haha!) Then wrap it using Wax Paper and eat up!

Answer 4

make sure the seller has good feedback. I've never had problems with ebay.

Answer 5

eBay is so full of fraud and people who don't care about others that it's ridiculous.  If you are looking for a phone go to a provider.  With eBay, you get what you pay for...and sometimes you pay too much and end up with c**p.

Answer 6

Iv bought loads of stuff of ebay,all you have o do is check the percentage if its 100 then its fine if its much lower then dont buy..its not ebay you can or cannot trust but the seller itself.

Answer 7

Of course I trust ebay.  Ebay and paypal has refunded me twice when sellers did not send the items I won or purchased on ebay.  It is the sellers that you need to know if they are trustworthy.  Ebay has a feedback rating for each member,  I always check out a seller's feedback rating before I buy from them.  

I received some awesome deals on ebay, I love it!  it is a heck and half of fun watching the bids too.

hope that helps and answers your question.

Answer 8

i buy lots of stuff on ebay and never have a problem but i wouldn't buy a cell phone on ebay. you never know what you are gonna get when you buy electronics, it could be refurbished or just plain not work at all.. you're better off just going to a cell phone carrier and buying it there, that way they can set it up and get you started.

Answer 9

If you are buying second hand, it is a risky business.

If you are buying brand new, then it is great. Just make sure you buy from a big seller with great feedback who offers local stock.

Avoid the stock located overseas, as there will be warranty problems if you ever need it.

I bought my V3 that way when it was 1300 in the shops for 600 from a power seller in Sydney

If it is brand new and the seller is a business in Australia, you are also covered by local consumer protection laws.

If you are buying a model not sold here, that may be for a reason - it may not be the right band for Aus networks

Answer 10

Sort of.
