Question

Is buying from ebay good?

Answer 1

Ebay is great if you make sure you are dealing with a reputable seller. Before you ever bid on an item be sure and check to see what their Feedback rating is. I don't deal with any that don't have at least a 98percent positive feedback.

And be careful if they don't have very many feedbacks, which means they are new to Ebay.

Good luck and have fun shopping.

Answer 2

It's just like buying from any other shop or online store. If you can get a good bargain (which you usually can on eBay) then, yes, it's good.

Be smart about it though. Find out if the seller has a good reputation and if the item you're buying is as described and is what you want.

Answer 3

If the seller has a good rating , then Yes it's great to buy from E-bay. I get alot of stuff off there !

Answer 4

amazons better if u just wanna buy instead of bidding makes seller more of a profit the nit saves you

plus u dont need a paypal account and shipping is less

Answer 5

it depends on the seller but yes i do it like everyday :) just check so see there feedback score and if its less then like 95% i usually dont unless there feedback is awhile back or they sell alot of items. good luck :)

Answer 6

Very! My dad goes on it ALL THE TIME!!!!!!! the packages he gets r great and theres no PROBLEM!!!!!

Answer 7

At times yes, but honestly I think ebay has gone down the tubes. If you don't include or include the littlest things, your item get's taken down; not to mention if your new and don't know any better they friggin suspend you account.

Ebay mods, are complete jerks. I say someone should make another site similar to Ebay.

Answer 8

yup.

Answer 9

Sure just don't get hooked on it!

Answer 10

As long as you buy from a good seller, you can find some bargains and also hard to find things, that you can not find in the area you live, it can be a very,very, good thing,,

Answer 11

I've been on ebay for 3 years and have only had 1 bad experience.  Even then, I eventually got a refund since I didnt receive my item.  Just be sure to research the buyer before you bid with him/her.  Look at their feedback scores.  If they got neg feedback, read why.

Answer 12

Depends.  avoid people with less than 95% positive feedback like the plague.  Also, make sure that they have sold more than 1 or 2 or 10 things that usually helps a little.

Make sure that you setup a paypal account.  IF you give them your credit card number or a money order and it turns out to be a scam you lost some money.  With a credit card it would be worse.

Answer 13

it depends who the seller is. u can check their reliability by reading their reviews. they should have a really good rating and people should almost always be happy with their products.
