Loading ...How does ebay work and where are the items stored?
Is it a place for the sellers to send items to and people purchase online, or do people sell it from their own home. Its my 1st time buying something off ebay, and worried i’ll be scammed. What if the sellers keep the items while you purchase it? Is there anyway they can scam?

people keep the stuff at their homes, or some cases stores. you need to pay using paypal( http://www.paypal.com) and if you do get scammed they will help you get your money back. i have been buying stuff for about 7 years, and i have only needed to go through paypal 3 times, and i have bought over 500 things. i always check a persons feedback before i buy. 99-100% is great. anything else i read the feedbacks to see if there is a trend or if it is just people complaining(because people are too picky about stuff sometimes)

Each person has their own merchandise and keeps it where ever they want to. Most sellers are honest because they are rated by customers, and a bad rating hurts business for them. Check to see how many items they have sold and how many negative comments they have received. Some can have good ratings and still become a scammer at anytime. If you go by this one rule for shopping on e-bay, you will be OK:" Never buy anything that costs more than you are willing to lose!"

Most of the time, seller’s have their own inventory at home. To avoid being scammed, only pay with PayPal. That way you can dispute if you don’t receive your item. Only buy from people who have a refund policy, just in case you receive the item damaged. If shipping insurance is offered with your purchase, buy it as well. This gives you extra protection. If you’re really paranoid about being scammed, then you might want to start by buying from a PowerSeller or someone with a really high feedback rating. That alone will almost guarantee that you won’t get scammed. Hope this helps.
