You need to know how to drive it, and some instinct is useful, too. I can just say: "Check the description and the feedbacks VERY carefully, don't buy from sellers with less than 99%, dont sell to buyers with less than 10 feedbacks or less than 99%". I have 100% positive with over 280 transactions, as buyer and seller, for smaller and bigger stuff. I use Paypal, because it's the fastest way - international bank transfers or MO's can take days or even weeks, and the fees are not lower than Paypal's; except IBAN which is free inside the EU. Paypal has my cred card data, but they can't cash it without I allow it. My cred card data is much safer at Paypal than when I would need to give it to unknown sellers spread over different continents. And Paypal is a pretty nice way to conceal some income to your tax office :-) ... Didier >I was scammed once on ebay and never received my money .
