For all ebay users?

Question

how often do you use it? what have u bought on it? and how safe is it exactly? im kind of afraid to buy anything on there so how should i go and buy stuff on there?

Answer 1

I've used eBay for around three years now - my usage has been sporadic, though, because I tend to use it to buy books for my courses during university vacations. However, I've made hundreds of transactions, and problems are very rare - the only two occasions where anything went wrong, I received a full refund, and promptly.

eBay has an established set of tools and procedures to make your shopping as safe as is possible. If you prefer, I believe that it's possible to set up a paypal account (most ebayers accept this) without directly linking it to a bank account - you can pay money into the paypal account, then use that for shopping. This minimizes risk.
