Well, being on the interent since 1997 I finally decided to make my first purchase from Ebay. I bought the sopranos 5th season since it isn't in stores yet ..its a bootleg copy so it will do. I paid using PayPal.

Am i protected if this buyer screws me over? if he never ships me the product does Paypal reverse the charges or if i am unsatisfied with the product

i'm just wondering why you didn't ask these questions before you bought the item.

if you bought a bootleg copy I don't think anyone is going to care much if he tanks your money

You have more of a chance being able to play pick up sticks with your ass cheeks then that guy sending to you. And if he does screw you you bought something that was illegal. That would be like buying pot finding out you got some spices then going to the cops telling them you got screwed trying to buy pot.

I personnaly have been screwed over more times on ebay then here in the FS/FT section. If I buy anything from ebay the guy I am buying from better be local or have 500 bizzilion good refs under thier belt.
