I am new to E-Bay, and I have to say that I avoided it for years because it intimidated me. It always seemed like a good place to get screwed, and for that, I stayed away. Yet here recently, I've jumped in and purchased some photographic equipment, and I must say, so far it's been great. The sellers have all seemed trustworthy, and the transactions have been smooth. I can see how that sometimes you're gonna get ripped off; it's just too big. But for the most part, I think it's credible.
