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.

5 more to come tomorrow. It's hard changing the page for each item. And also, having to change the images in the header. Bah. :cD It takes an hour per item (Spider-Man had lots of extras for me to type up).

Hi
I use ebay to buy and sell, and I think it is brilliant, once or twice, people have tried scams on me but with ebay checking and security they have not managed it. the main thing is to deal with people with good feed back, as they are very keen to get more feed back, and so give you a good deal, the ones with no feed back or one or two, be very careful of, as they might have just registered a new account to try and fiddle something, and not care about getting bad feed back, as they will just register under another name. If you are having a problem paying, just contact the seller and provided he has good feed back you will get all the help you want, or if Pay pal is available, just click on that logo or button, even if you are new to pay pal you will find it very very simple to open an account and immediatly pay pal will credit your account with $5.
All the best

I'm in a crazy baseball type eBay mood. I've bought two baseballs. One Baltimore Orioles cork cushioned one, which I use everyday and one Tampa Bay Devil Rays display ball, which is well, on display.

And I've also been bidding on packs of baseball cards with guaranteed autograph and memorabilia cards in them.

All from America too. I love eBay.
