Have you ever bought from ebay?

The only few times i got stuff, my dad did it.

Today i won 2 items and i got the address of the sellers so that i can send the money order. (i dont use paypal)

Do i just send it and assume that i will just get the item? Both sellers did have excellent ratings.

Thoughts?? Comments???

I have done it with a money order before. The whole thing is a trust issue, but if they have good ratings, then you have to assume that they will mail it out to you. You can try to send an email to see if they can let you know the day it was mailed to you...that way you have an idea of when to expect it, you know? It will be fine in the end, dont worry!

Re: Have you ever bought from ebay?

you should really set up a paypal acct, it protects you! if you send a MO, you are taking the risk of never getting the item and losing your money. its really easy to set one up, just go on the paypal website and it will guide you through the process step by step.
