    Have you ever been scammed when you buy something from ebay?

    I have bought many stuff and so far its all been good. I just buy from people with feedback above 95%

    Not Ebay, but from some other online sites.
    It takes weeks for me to get my items from the US :p

    Yea thats what i would do to, if i see someone with a lot of bad feedback. I think carefully whether its worth risking.

    Bought quite a lot from eBay and I also use the criteria of 95%+ criteria and check what kind of feedbacks they were. Often it's just some newbies complaining too fast or not following the rules themselves or it could be just some jealous c0-sellers who try to eliminate their concurrency.

    yah i have brought quite alot from eBay actually but sometimes u cant actually judge from the feedback if the seller is good or not so if i really want that item then i just go for it..

    u can raise a matter on it after all!
    so u can report them to eBay if the seller wont let you refund the item or w.e
    & if u paid over paypal u can also let them know & get ur money back =]

    I have brought and sold on ebay with out any problems. just check the feed back on the people and check where they are located so you don't get killed with shipping fees. usually pretty good haven't had any problems so far been using it for years.

    i check for feedback first on the person....if they got 95% or above then i'll make a bid..but i also look at the comments if their are some that says somethin negative like fake or somethin...then i go to the next person

    i've found just reading the description is misleading......

    If everyone just base on feedback then the first-timer sellers would never have sold anything...

    I really hate those people who put up an overpriced postage cost. But there have been some who put less then should of paid. I remember some person had paid £5 on postage when all i paid was £4 for the item overall (bid @ 0.01 + postage @ 3.99 = 4.00)

    Oh.. hehe.
    The reason why it takes damn long is coz my item is sitting in the customs office...

    They need to check for drugs, weapons, etc lol illegal stuff.

    i've bought couple things off ebay. i prefer it more than just random online stores because i don't know if those stores are fake or not.
    i usually buy locally so it comes faster :D
    no problems yet.
    i usually check feedback, see if they've sold before.

    I haven't but my friend has and he pretty much gets what he orders. The problem with eBay is that if something does go wrong, there's no guarantee you'll be (sorry, forgot the word for this but what i mean to say is you won't get your money back).
