Quote:Stephanie Marhefka bought several dresses and a laptop computer over the years on eBay without problem. But the psychologist says her last purchase was a disaster: She paid $700 for what an eBay seller said was a solid wood desk, plus an additional $40 for the Brooklyn merchant to deliver it to her mid-Manhattan apartment. Quote:...the final tip on protecting yourself on eBay? Just like in the stock market or at a gambling casino, don't buy something you can't afford to lose. full article: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/con...00148.html |

![]() ![]() I shopped for a cell phone cover last night on eBay and I don't think there was one item priced "normally", (I have to say there was a good selection though). Everything was $.99 + $7 to ship. It's like an alternate universe. :greengreet: Kim |

Stricter verification of new users by eBay could have prevented a writer for one of the nation's most influential newspapers from having to give that advice to readers. |
