Not in my experience, I've had people with over 100 positive feedbacks and maybe 1 neg and 2 nuetral screw me over. Have had "power sellers" ship me stuff DOA then not refund me. To me, going to an auction site shouldn't be gambling my money. Just trying to help my brother out since his car was broken into and everything was stolen in it. AnandTech is great for finding used computer parts for cheaper then retail. Figured there was a car site along the same lines.
And yes, I've heard of Ebay, look at my sig I post my Ebay feedback. I am no longer a registered member after the last encounter I had with Ebay. Maybe I'm just a lucky one to get scammed all the time. Yes I'm naive and I think people are as honest as I am. But I'm through with Ebay.
Stupid because I've had the worst luck ever and I refuse to just give my hard earned money away? I've totaled it up to be over $500 from ebay sellers that I've lost, feedback ranging from 84 positive feedbacks to over a thousand. I've delt with the FBI, state police, web police, paypal AND ebay to even get a penny of my money back. Yes, maybe I do just have bad luck, but I'm not going to keep giving my money away to these people.
So if you're just going to make some smart ass comment, would prefer you just don't even post it, waste of time for me to even read it. But if you have any information on where I can find a forum such as a link that would be great and much apprieated.
Oh and RagingBITCH, thanks for the link, he's going to order speakers and an amp from there if he can't find the apline speakers and such that he wants.
