Hmmm. Spent a long time researching what to buy online and what not to buy. Thinking that buying large things like big screen tvs, computers and cars on ebay is not the best idea. Mostly because they can get scratched or dinged during delivery. Or in the case of cars, I have read of people buying cars that don't exist.
Here's a short rundown of what I have learned:
1. Don't buy anything from anyone who asks you to send a large amount of money via Western Union to countries such as Nigeria.
2. Don't buy things that can get completely bingled in transit. Eg. lenses on digital cameras, flat screen monitors (a lot of these have a dead pixel or two!!)
3. Don't answer any emails outside of ebay.
4. Try to pay for things using traceable means. Eg. Money orders from the post office, PayPal can be good for certain items as it can proven you paid for it. Basically don't use Western Union and for heaven's sake don't send cash in the mail. It's illegal in some areas!
Hmm. Still going. I have bought a number of things online with varying amounts of success. More about that later.
