Have you ever been ripped of by buying from eBay?

Do I get what I am buying from ebay first or do I have to pay the person first. (Don't want to get ripped off)?

  • Answer:

    You must pay for the item before the seller would make the shipment to you. What you should do is to open an account with PayPal using your own credit card. When your bid or purchase is complete, you would be redirected to PayPal and asked to log into your account and complete the payment. It is very simple and fast. Only Paypal knows your credit card numbers. The sellers do not know about it. Using Paypal is the most reliable payment method as you get the protection when something goes wrong.

Same as when you go to Walmart. You can't leave with the stuff and come back later to pay for it.

You pay first, then the article is mailed to you. If it were the other way round, paying after you receive the item, sellers would continually get ripped off by buyers receiving goods and never paying for them at all. You must pay for the item and the cost of postage, to get it sent to you. Paypal is the safest way, as you have some comeback in the case of non delivery or any other mishap.
