It's not like they have a little page deveted to giving away credti card details! Now, I don't know this as a 100% certain fact but I'd say your just as likely to be a victim of credit card fraud through using it in a shop or getting it stolen.
eBay is a great site as long as your not one for making rash decisions. It can be far too easy to keep upping your bid to beat another bidder and then realizing that what your paying for actually isn't worth that much at all. Moral? ALWAYS set a limit to your bidding and ALWAYS get an idea of what the goods are worth new. I've seen numerous items (usually DVDs/DVD boxsets) going for MORE on eBay than you could buy them new... WHY???
eBay also has a great feedback system - if you look at a user and see he's had good deals with 10 other people you can be pretty sure you're alright. eBay also provide free insurance anyway.
Aside from that, the reason they are the best is that they are the biggest. More people use them so there is more great stuff to be found.
No, I don't work for eBay.

No, I don't work for eBay.
I'm quite clever though, and am prepared to give up what little of my life I have.
I'm considering taking 5 A Levels next year... a foolish decision?

Is this GCSEs or A Levels that we're talking about? We've never had Electronics in our school.
