I've been wonderin this whole thing for quite a long time... my mom always warns me not to buy stuffs online because it's not reliable..

but i always wanted NYX single eyeshadows.. no one sells it here in australia.....

what do you think of ebay?? oh and btw... what does paypal do???? will it charge me another cost for using it??? thanks..

Answer 1

No because you don't know if the person has used it are put something in it  

Answer 2

Yeah ebay is quite reliable, i buy lots of stuff of there as its cheaper but still with the same quality.

The only thing you need to check if is the product is sealed, email the seller if the picture isnt clear.

If its opened then simply dont buy it.

Paypal is a safer way of paying for items as it just takes the money straight out of the bank account. It doesnt cost anything, ive never been charged for using it.

I'd strongly suggest paying with paypal as its better than sending money through the post.  

Answer 3

As long as you buy them that brand new and havent been used look for phrases such as BNIB - Brand New In Box or BN - Brand New, used in the titles to help you. if you are still not sure email and ask. Paypal doesn't charge its just used as a connector from your bank to ebay if you have no money in your paypal account i.e. it will take money out your bank account and move it pass it along to ebay. The only way it charges is if you start selling things. However if it does take money its only around 25p for every £5

Paypal is safe so there is nothing to worry about there. And you can check if the eBayer your buying from is ok by checking there feedback score and reading other feedback they have been given to check if they are reliable.
