friends and partners, i need your contribution either based on your experience or what you have heard, i realy need to know if one can get duped transacting business on ebay, i mean like purchasing auto from one of the companies on the site. Thanks, waiting earnestly to hear your contributions. 1luv.

I've bought a couple of items off ebay but none as big as a car. Like every market, it's a mix of both. Always read the user ratings, if there's a lot of unresolved negative comment then run. Don't be too gullible and greedy, don't expect to buy a car for £200 off ebay, it's probably scrap. I've had good experiences so far though. Best of luck.

Although i have had a one bad experience on ebay before, i was duped $80. That was about 3yrs ago. The mistake i made then was that i sent money order. I should have paid with paypal. I have been with ebay for about 10yrs and that was my only bad experience.

I have bought lots of things from ebay. As for the car, i will like to remind you that buying a car either on ebay or elsewhere demands that you at least have the vehicle inspected before you buy.

Any used car bought online without inspection is a game of chance. Make sure the person you are dealing with has some feedback and has been a member for a while.

Always pay via PAYPAL.

Make sure its actual ebay site!!! i have had a look-alike site sent to me for a juicy offer. Go to the site yourself by typing in the address. As opposed to someone sending you a link.

Good luck

thanks guys i appreciate that alot, i ve a cousin in the US who will conduct every form of inspection and do the shipping, i am registered with them and i do go directly by typing the addy myself not following the link, i just want to start doing bizness on the site that s why i need people s opinion, i will appreciate more of it. PLS WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO PAY THROUGH PAYPAL?

Pay thru paypal otherwise, you are taking a big risk, open an account with paypal

Paypal is an intermediary between your bank and the party receiving payment, that way the party doesn't deal directly with your bank nor are your CC or debit card details exposed to them. That makes it safer.
