Of course its not 100 percent guaranteed which is why buyers & sellers have feedback attached

You have bugger all comeback if someone dupes you

Buyer beware is all I will say

I'm no expert but I've bought a number of things over the net ranging from engineering tools and electronic parts to porno DVDs and a life-like moulding of Chasey Lain's twat and everything has turned up, and I've never had any money ripped out of my credit card.

Probably, if you make sure you're dealing over a secure server and that you've got a decent spyware removing program on your machine then you'd be OK.

From what I've heard, its easier for wrong doers to get your credit card info from receipts left in bins or by scanning your card at dodgey shops ( Arfer Daley's World of Quality Used Cars and High Class Girls for instance ).

Spyware is very scarey these days. I totally agree about ensuring you have installed decent removal or detection system.

I got seriously stung a few weeks ago from a seller on ebay, but it was my fault for not smelling a rat with a PO Box and a mobile number. Royal Mail have been VERY helpful, but remember, the Police will NOT get involved with internet fraud.
As regards buying, I almost got some cracking videos from a site recommended by someone closely associated with this site, but for Credit Card transactions, they charged nearly ?20 for banking purposes and then 25% tax.......so while they WERE 100% GENUINE, I felt the charges were unrelated to what I wanted. A BIG pity as they WERE belting tapes.
Ebay and Amazon on the whole are VERY safe, especially Amazon
