Buyers from eBay beware

[Fraser Macleod]

aye watch out for the nigerian hoax too if your trying to sell anything

The thing is if you are gettting a brand new item lets say a rolex watch from ebay for a fraction of the price of the genuine article you must be a bit soft in the head if you think it is going to genuine. Its like the Barras and any other market place full of counterfeight stuff. If you are prepared to buy fake stuff then asume that the stuff is fake and limit your bid to what you think a fake rolex is worth. DOnt pay full whack and then get upset when it is fake.

Well said Naefear. The most important thing about eBay is to use common sense. :roll: People should stop and think - the sellers aren't idiots. They know exactly how much their items are worth and there's no way they're going to lose out. The old adage comes into it's own on eBay ~ If it sounds too good to be true it normally is! Having said that you can get bargains there just stay clear of designer labels. Happy Bidding! :lol:
