How does Ebay work? Its so confusing. How do u know if your going to get scamed or not? PLEASE HELP!?

Answer 1

For the most part, if you stick with people who have good feedback (they could have some negatives but not many) you should be alright.

Also, if you pay through Paypal, they usually protect up to $2000,.00.  You will see it on the seller's item they have for sale.

The seller above me only has paypal protection up to $200.00 but that is because he is new to ebay.  But, at least, you have some protection if you were to decide to buy from him.

There are people who have built up good feedback and then scammed people out of money.  Here is one example--http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...

I am a1asteve on ebay.  I was fortunate enough to have received what I paid for but, as you can see, this person was actually a man and was caught.

Let me finish off this way.  Generally speaking, you can trust the majority of sellers on ebay.  There are always a few bad apples out there.  

Whatever you do, never send your money via Western Union or any other money wire transfer service.  These are usually scam artists.
