anyone have any experience with Online Auctions?

Just wondering becuause I am looking at getting something from the "bay" which is a High Dollar Item....

The seller has excellent Feedback and has sold hundreds of items similarly priced and more...

He has excellent external reviews from another site that I visit often, all of them giving him the highest praise....

and he accepts payment via Credit card, Escrow and anything else you can imagine and allows for returns?

Just wondering if there was anyone else who has used ebay alot and was wondering what they thought...

thanks

yeah, I bought a lot of things there. Highest price = about 1,000. no problems, but I'm real picky

Usually, if they have great feedback and that those feedbacks are from auctions that ended with the same dollar amount and value, generally, this seller can be trusted. Since this guy takes all forms of payment, I suggest that you choose one that will protect you the best, like using your credit card. You can dispute the charge if your product never arrives.

There have been a lot of fraud where sellers sell penny items, rack up enormous amount of feedback, and then start selling laptops and things of that sort. Once they get the money, they lickety-split.

Thanks for the info...

Yes this guy has sold many many items with the same or better dollar amount (some of 10k and above) and still has excellent feedback....


I think I will go for it... thanks

watch out for "snipers".... Most of them just use programs, but some are good, real good.
