It does suck.
With e-bay I would never send more money than I was willing to lose.

If the seller won't let you pick it up and pay cash, as far as I am concerned, it is a scam. Period.

 

98% of the stuffon ebay is legit, the scams stick out like a sore thumb so all you need is a little bit of common sense and ebay experience.

 

i agree with the above statement.. i have purcheed over 2,000 worth of goods off of ebay.. not one problem yet

 

Had one similar to that in San Antonio. Said he was in NY, send 500.00 and he'll come back in town. Right, send me 500 and I'm going to Disney World![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Almost makes you want to set up a flase ID on Ebay just to bid and make them think they're going to make some big bucks.

 

I actually bought a 2002 Raptor on ebay last month, & everything went pretty smoothly..I paid 4K..It came with Nerf bars, Rentral handlebars, new tires..I paid with credit card via Paypal..If anything goes wrong, contact ur credit card company & dispute the charges..That's insurance that works..
