Sure. You can't return them to Wal*Mart.

Check seller's "Feedback" section.

Ebay purchacing can be a risky thing. I am not saying not to try it,
just be careful. I would hesitate to buy from anyone with bad feedback
or a new user with little feedback. Between my family and me, we have
probably made 3 or 4 dozen purchases off ebay and only been stiffed
once, but I would hate to get stiffed on a high dollar item. Remember to
see how much they want for shipping and handling before you bid, I've
seen $25 shipping charges on a $10 item the size of a notebook.
Personally, If I can't save a LOT of money on the deal, I won't take the
risk on a stranger miles away.

Be careful. A friend of mine got pooched on a 1000 dollar piece of video
gear. Seller had good feedback references, too.
Because the crook was in Canada and my pal was here in Maine, he had to
go thru mucho red tape to get it investigated, all for naught. 10
C-notes gone with the wind.

I just made my first purchase on eBay, a used spinning reel. It has a
problem which is not consistent with its description of being in excellent
condition. I'm not sure what to do if anything. The guy who sold it is a
dealer with an excellent rating. I'm almost positive he did not use the reel
and did not know about the problem. I'll probably keep it, as it does work,
it's just a little annoying.

for the best deals on ebay, keep an eye on the seller cchrmn and his
auctions. he is a friend of mine who is honest as the day is long and has
lots of good stuff. he buys closeout and display reels and will not sell
you junk.

i also sell under the name bassngear, but am lazy and afflicted with the
disease of rather going fishing than working so i have stuff on very rarely.

sorry if this is appears as a commercial and deemed offensive by anyone. i
just know clete is an honest seller and wont cheat anyone.

I find the prices for new or nearly new fishing equipment on eBay are
usually so close to retail, I don't bother.

G . A. The best advice I can think of is "Caveat Emptor". Or as the
ancients used to say . . . "Let the buyer beware". I've purchased several
things on ebay and have never been offed, but I've always talked to the
seller before I traded cash for an item. So far so good. Good luck.

Use ONLY a credit card to make purchases. Even with Paypal use a credit card
instead of paypal funds or a bank transfer. That way, all you have to do is
call the issuing bank and contest the charges. If the seller can't prove the
item was shipped, then you don't have to pay. If you received the item and it
was not as described, return it by insured mail and dispute the charges with
your credit card company.

I recently had a problem when buying something and paying paypal with a Master
Card. Master Card said since I paid paypal there was nothing they would do.
