i nearly got caught with those chinese folks selling Satvnavs... but it just didn't seam right, so i looked at their feedback, and it had all been posted by one person!
i do a lot of buying, and selling on ebay, and have never had a problem, but i'm very wary about what i buy or sell... i keep well clear of consumer electronics, mobile phone stuff, CD's and DVD's... you tend to find that the collectables and 'enthusiast' stuff (like Landrovers) is pretty OK....

i don't buy from, or accept bids from overseas, and only do Paypal for small, low value items. anything big, they can come and pick it up... and pay cash........

ebay is fine, but have your wits about you... don't sell 'high risk' stuff, and don't trust Nigerians or chinese people who appear to be doing you a favor...

I wouldnt be put off by the fact that its from abroad. Ive bought a fair few items from various countries(many from HongKong and had no problems. Just decent items at good prices, and usually from HK, very quick shipping.

I have to say after 600 transactions on ebay even I got caught twice !

Yes they were both foreign...one was a supposed smartphone 3 mths old with
sat nav and supposed full car kit from Ashford KENT

and the more recent one was a Sony CDXR with 2 remotes for the mota,once I had paid I never heard anymore and that was Lanarkshire SCOTLAND.

The majority of transactions I carry out in Germany and the former Eastern block countries.I also deal with USA and Hong Kong in high value Graphic Cards and Memory.I have never had a single problem with these.

Amusingly my virgin ebay transaction was in China without problem!

forums...it helps if u can break them down into 2 lines.  :idea:
