I'm one of the very few who have never bought anything from Ebay, and I don't have a clue how the thing works. So I would like to know if anyone here has bought anything from there, and how payments are made.

I'm looking for Toy Story 2 for either the Dreamcast or Playstation (there is one on ebay just now, but I can't buy stuff till the weekend), and Toy Story for the MegaDrive. If anyone has these and wants to sell them then we can maybe talk, but I would like some advice about Ebay.

Thanks in advance.

I've won 3 auctions and I want all 3 items (DVDs). I sent a message with my 'Pay now' thingy-emaily-type-thing (y'know what I mean) asking for confirmation before I send the money.

Was I right to do so? Because after 1 day, they still haven't replied... I clearly said I won't send until I recieve a reply :-/

Don't worry - Get a bit of brown paper and bubble wrap.

From wilkos.

And wrap the item up like a gift.

Or you could scout around the checkouts and look for smallish boxes for free.

Tesco sell a cheap pack of brown paper / bubble wrap / tape / address stickers.
That's what I generally use to pack my irregularly shaped ebay stuff :)

Noooooo! My padded envelopes are too small for the boxset.

Any ideas?

Just like me and my DVDs.

I didn't buy them, I've already made £30 and I have another 6 of the things to get through.
