Ebay first time seller?

Question

Is it safe to purchase from a first time seller, if the item is selling cheap.

Answer 1

i do ebay alot, if you didnt get what you want you can return it and u get money back depending on the seller, if you get scammed ebay takes legal action to help you, even for $5 to keep their customers, go read their policy, very assuring.

Answer 2

If you are purchasing from a first time seller be sure to check their feedback as a buyer.  A buyer with positive feedback is likely to be a good seller too.  Make sure they have posted clear shipping prices, payment terms, and return policies.  Also you have a little more protection if they accept paypal.  Paypal can ensure you are protected in case they are not legitamate.
