Have you tried buying or selling in ebay? how was your experience? Were you scammed by anyone in ebay? Me, I bought one time in ebay. I DID get the product but it was not exactly the same thing I ordered from the seller. I emailed the seller about it then he replied by giving me THE SPECIFIC DETAILS OF THE PRODUCT THAT HE SHOULD HAVE WRITTEN IN THE SELLING PAGE. It was not a good experience and I haven't tried buying from ebay again after that. what about you?

I think it's a simple case of buyer-Beware. Recently my Husband and I tried to buy a large piece of equipment from someone claiming to be a member of E-Bay. If you follow E-Bay's rules it works out for everyone; however , the individual we were trying to purchase the equipment from...kept trying to re-direct us to his personal account off of E-Bay. As you well know....when going through E-Bay....E-bay provides insurance for any items it has , in order to insure a safe transaction on Both sides. So...Basically...if you are not receiving your information from E-bay staff....then Buyer Beware!

Yes, I agree. one really has to be smart when dealing with online businesses. many of these may be scams and its hard to distinguish one from the other. buyer beware!

i've visited their site for several times hoping that i can avail a low price of cellphone, but im not a risk taker, im scared that they might take my money and i wont get what i ordered in good condition. however, my cousin availed a cellphone from them, good thing, what was written on the description is true.
