How safe is this site? Did you ever purchase or sell anything on it?

There was a case of these people based in florida around winter time who listed like a hundred things and the auctions ended around the same time. SO when they collected there money they didn't send the actual products. Because they were bulgarian and had good feedback from before. I think they collected some 10's of thousand's of dollars.

I've personally tried to sell Jersey's when throwbacks were hot like 2-3 yrs ago on ebay. Ebay kept closing my auctions because of the pics I had and they weren't mine. However I did make 20 dollars for selling something threw my friend's account once Cool

It's pretty safe. They have a system, kind of similar to a credit rating, where sellers are rated on their merits. If you fuck somebody, ebay drops your rating, and you lose a shit load of biz. My woman just bought some shoes online last week from a site in Oklahoma, and they made sure to ask us to give them a favourable rating on the service. They protect it like people protect their credit ratings.

ebay is safe...i've been using it for a while. mostly for software and dvd's, but before you go on there check out www.craiglist.org chances are, whatever it is you're looking for is already there...for cheaper price...and local. good luck.
