Is ebay reliable?

[Brutalis]

Ebay banned payments in checks or money orders so sellers are no longer able to accept them. So CC or paypal is the only way to go, beware of the socalled buyer protection with Paypal it is a joke. If the item arrives damaged you are pretty much screwed because paypal only really covers non delivery. I got an 800 printer and it arrived damaged and with ink all over the place because the dumb didnt take the cartridges out when he shipped and paypal declined my claim. I ended up with an 800 paper weight.

It is relatively safe just look for sellers with good feedback with a rating of 98 percent or higher positive and hundreds if not thousands of transactions.

Sometimes its worth paying a bit extra from someone with a higher feedback rating.

Note that does not go into action until the end of October.

I've been an Ebay buyer since '04 and never had any issues with them or Paypal.Go by the sellers rep/ratings.
