USE "PAYPAL" AND SET UP THE ACCOUNT USING A CREDIT CARD LIKE AMERICAN EXPRESS VISA OR MASTERCARD WHICH WILL GIVE YOU INSTANT CREDIT IF THE ITEM HAS NOT BEEN DELIVERED. ALSO CHECK THE SELLER'S FEEDBACK.
You need to be carefull on some of the items, as these could be scams - just remember, if the deal seem to good to be true, it isn't a deal for you.
I have had extreemly good luck in all of my purchases thru eBay, but have heard of many horror stories.
Happy shopping.
