Ebay is wonderful. I have sold over $1000 in things on there that I just had laying around or just had no use for it any longer. I have also purchased a number of things off of ebay. I can not say that all of my experiences are good with buying because there are some horrible ebayers out there who do cheat people with saying something is new and when you get it you can tell that it clearly isnt. But overall if you find the right person with a EXCELLENT rating then you will feel ok with buying something off of ebay. I would just make sure to look for someone who has a 99% rating or higher if you want to get something good. Another thing is that you make sure that you read the whole entire page of the product and look for any catches because that can happen. But overall I would rate my experience with ebay at a 95%.
