All auction sites are subject to Fraud, it's not just Ebay. I learned valuable lessons this year in said subject. Got ripped off at Overstock auctions for $500, Yahoo auctions for $800, and Ebay for just $30, on 2 seperate transactions. PayPal was used in all transactions. Of the 4 scams, the monies I lost through Ebay were the only monies not refunded to me. They stood by their valued sellers over a new buyer. Ebay also owns Half.com, where I was took for $600 about 5 years back. Bought a new computer, and it ran like shit. Shut down every few minutes. I returned it to the seller, they told half.com that it was fine, and that when they got it back, the case was filled with 'small animal droppings'. Where that came from, I have no idea. But Half/Ebay took the seller at his word, end of discussion, case closed, and I ended up with a $600 tower.

always build your own pc! So much easier!

For a start you know whats in it, and that u have the safe knowledge u can take defected parts back to the shop you purchased it from!

for non-US residents, paypal is not easy to work with. i have been using paypal around 4 months, and 3 times they have restricted access to the funds in the account. each time i have satisfied their 'security precautions' and they take 7-10 days to respond, this is their published response time.
