What is Ebay?

Generally, buying on eBay is quite safe for buyers. eBay has an extensive buyer protection program for covering things like defective items, scams, “not as described”,

If the buyer still doesn't pay or reach some other agreement with the seller, eBay may record the unpaid item on the buyer's account. When an unpaid item case closes without payment from the buyer, the seller is eligible to receive a final value fee credit to their seller account.

If the seller doesn't agree to cancel the transaction and you don't pay for the item, an unpaid item may be recorded on your account. If you get too many unpaid items recorded on your account, your account may be limited or suspended.

Don't Buy eBay Only Because It Is Cheaper Than Amazon. ... On eBay.com, buyers and sellers trade in an auction or fixed-price fashion. eBay charges a listing fee and takes a cut from the final sales.
