I bought 2 things from eBay that were not as described and one was damaged. EBay did not stand behind me. PayPal did. I remain a loyal customer.only use pay pal never f&f and a credit card this way you are double protected if you get screwed.
but dont buy until you have talked on the phone and googled his number so that it matches his name. and also google earth his address so you see where he lives and what is likely there.
if you use f&f at pay pal you are cheating pay pal. and then you have no right to complain if you get cheated. as one thief buying from another.
