Would someone please tell me exactly how Ebay works? I have just bid for Virtua Tennis on the Dreamcast and there is 2 days left on the Auction. Once the auction has finished what do I do then? Do I pay by Cheque or Credit Card? How is it sent? Do I contact him or does he contact me? Any information would be helpful about bidding and recieving, thanks.

i've had about 100 transactions (i've been selling as well) and have been conned once....luckily it wasn't too much....that's why when buying STICK WITH PEOPLE WHO HAVE A POSITIVE RATING

Sending the payment or handing over Credit Card details, and not recieving anything in return on E-Bay puts me off as well.

*rolls on floor laughing*

As the seller s/he should send you an email telling you about payment forms. The actual auction page should say what forms of payment s/he accepts. Then you email back... and say,

'Thanks for the great auction, I will be paying via 'insert payment form' later today and hope to receive the item within the next week'

Thats it.
