What is the difference? I'm kinda new to actually using Ebay for purchases.

I was wondering which method is better, and which is safer.. just some opinions from current users of both methods will do. :D
 
Well, if it's something you can pick up and inspect your product and then pay. pay normally, if its something that needs to be shipped pay with paypal. If there is a problem with your product you have your resources and paypals' resources to make it right.
 
hahaaa! Just made my first-ever Ebay purchase! Totally won a NEW 4:1 Computer Surround Sound System! For 40 bucks! Bitchin'.. .. .. :D

Should be here some time next week ;)
 
Paypal can be helpful. I've never really had a case where they weren't able to do something. I've been ripped off a few times, and Paypal has always covered my ass.

Paying straight through with a Debit card sucks though. Once your money is gone, its gone.
 
I feel good about it for now, i just want some killer surround man!

*knocks on wood*
 
Yeah I get that, B.
It was easy.. I'm not so sure yet about the 'online merchant' idea yet...
I always hear how people get ripped off, so I'm just being wary of it.

I think it's nice that it can track shipments.^_^
 
the easiest thing to do to not get ripped off...

is to don't buy from anyone with under 100 positives, and 99.5% or higher feedback (because there will always be ;that guy; you can't expect 100%
 
the company i bought from had 99.6 feedback rating... it was buy.com have you heard of it? ebay says its one of their partners, and they've been around on the interweb for like ten years.. i'm sure i'll be alright though. ;)


*knocks on wood once again*

they also had like over 12000 pos.
 
buy.com is an actual website/store,,so you have nothing to worry about,
i got ripped off 1 time on ebay..bought some window switches for my bros bmw,,they just never got here,,filed a claim through pp,they gave me my money back
 
injen, whats up with hs gremlin post on one of the other thread? were you referring to me ? just curious wtf that means :huh:
 
actually i habe a good idea what it means, i'm not gunna go asking arould like a dumbass :D
