gamehead200 Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 I've only ordered one thing from it... No problems... Everything was straight forward... Item was exactly what I wanted!
Famer Posted October 4, 2004 Author Posted October 4, 2004 Cool GH well im looking @ the site now. i heard some weird stories about bs slaes but i guess it's all who you buy from
Leeta Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 I've used ebay numerous times Famer and have always had a positive experience. If you are worried use an escrow account.
Synapse Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 my dads been using ebay for about 3 years now, bought lots of stuff off of Ebay and got all the stuff that he ordered without any trouble. there are SOME stuff out there that is BS but those are the things that are like 20 million dollars... such as an F-15 Eagle Military Jet.... or Doom3 before it hit the shelves. but who would bid on something thats 20 million?! also.. people like too joke around and put things like.. a Used condom... a half eaten donut.. a half eaten penut butter and jelly sandwhich... yea.. lolbest suggestion is use another bank account. one just for online purchases.. if anything goes bad the person would get like 500 dollars insted of 200K dollars.. or whatever..
XtremeMaC Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 I've bought and sold items. Not yet had a problem with them.also i've done the transactions with paypal. transfered the exact amount of money from my bank to paypal. so i think paypal might be more secure. though with SSL stuff thesedays i'm not sure if they can get 200K unless its some crazy hacker???
Synapse Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 though with SSL stuff thesedays i'm not sure if they can get 200K unless its some crazy hacker???never know with these current day hackers lol, i've heard of people losing everything cause of identity theft... well.. 200K may be pushin it as most banks would see that and make 100% sure it was the actual person. and most banks only allow around a 300 dollar withdrawl per day... well around here that is..i'm the super paranoid kind of person, even if its a transaction for 100 dollars or more.. or if i knew that i was gonna be doing lots of internet shoping.. i'd make another account and only put like 1000 dollar limit on it.
CoffeeFiend Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 I've used ebay and paypal for quite a while too (I do a big part of my shopping online too) and I never had a prob. Just play it safe and don't go for what seems too good to be true and such offers (a little common sense goes a long way).
static Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 Using ebay for the last half a year with no problems aswell
^_^ Posted October 7, 2004 Posted October 7, 2004 I've used ebay for probably 5 years nowYep, common sense is the rule to followBUT, read the shipping/handling stuffgood priced items, specially with puter stuff usually whacks you on the shipping.like $30 for a $17 computer caseand that's common, just know to look for that and read the description in detail
