i dont buy online mainly because i dont have a credit card to purchase things, and if i did have one what things would i buy, believe me credit cards and college students just DONT MIX sometimes. that and i dont trust the people on e-bay ever since some hackers pulled that stunt on e-bay last year, where they like hacked into and and made an exact replica of the confirm your credit card number page and stole lots of peoples numbers.... thats horrible, damn those nerdy hackers...

I buy off of e-bay all the time but when I do it I use my credit card and I also make sure to have insurance on something that I buy and I also check the sellers rating before I buy anything.

i've been screwed 3 times on ebay, for a total of a little over a hundred bux. but i have sold a few thousand on there, so i think it's all good..

I've bought a thing or two... you just have to have an eye for trustable people. Take, for example, the fact that I'd sell something to Crono, but probably wouldn't buy something from Ominub. I mean, err... ¦¬Þ j/k

Yes, the rating system is very useful. *hugs his Albert Odyssey* Worth every penny.

I look at stuff on ebay a bunch, but I've never bought anything. My brother got semi-screwed once when he ordered 3 video tapes containing all the episodes of the sketch comedy show "The State". 2 out of the 3 videos had horrible quality. My brother got the seller to give back half the money, but it still sucked.
