<p>[QUOTE="Ed23, post: 2085601, member: 32117"]There is no rational reason to bad mouth eBay if all you do is buy. If you're a seller then there are several legitimate gripes. I am both. Just be sure you know how to tell genuine articles from fakes. My rules for buying include never buying anything from a dealer in China, or any other third world country; in recent years I personally buy only from dealers in the US, UK and Canada since I rarely have difficulty getting my purchase in a timely fashion, besides it's easier to return. I always check feedback before buying; since any dealer can be fooled by one ringer, I look for a pattern of feedback indicating the selling of multiple fakes. Always keep receipts and always have someone whose advice/experience you trust, look at what you buy to make sure you're not getting taken ... eBay will get you a refund on fakes long after the seller's return deadline is past, but you must know who you bought the fake from and when. Good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
