____shawnee 4,118 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I've only purchased on eBay ONCE and sold ONCE. Fortunately I found my item at a great price in great condition and from a great seller, my experience was almost too good to be true I buy on Amazon a lot though which actually might be riskier, I'm always nervous when I make a purchase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ethereal 20,923 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 nope. I use amazon all the time to buy kpop albums. you just have to find a trustworthy seller with a lot of good reviews when it comes to those sites tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapmon's Ahjussi Husband 2,299 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Not really; I usually use "mercadolibre" wich is the 3rd world version of it to buy books I can find and never had a bad experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunny 5,676 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 ebay has a bad reputation i think but i pretty much buy everything on ebay and i've never had a problem, you just gotta check the seller's feedback~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarShapedGummy 11,380 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 i used to like amazon's combined free shipping method for orders totally $35 and above... until i realized i can get the same item on ebay for less... u always have buyer protection on ebay.... being a seller on ebay is tough though =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sully 4,318 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Yes. Bought what was supposed to be Mighty Mend-It, and what I got was some cheap ass fabric glue in a container with a homemade label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nancy mcflurry 2,385 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Nope. I never had a problem with eBay or Amazon. Just check the seller reviews if you feel suspicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haus of Tzu:Lai 5,450 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Yes, bought some socks from this asshole from Korea who did not send it and then suddenly his/her store disappeared. Found out later that some other people who had bought from said scammer around the same time as me, did not receive their socks either. Before that though he/she received positive reviews, so not sure what happened. Originally I thought that maybe they had already closed their business, but forgot to take their store off eBay, but after not responding to my (or other people's e-mails) and issuing no refunds, it's safe to say that this person is a scammer. Since the socks were pretty cheap, I couldn't be bothered going through the whole tedious process of trying to retrieve the money back, so I let it slide, despite being extremely annoyed. Anyway, apart from that I've had positive experiences dealing with people on eBay. That was only the negative experience I've encountered and I frequently buy things on eBay, so the risk is low if you're careful/smart about it. For the most part, as long as you are wary, you will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
campfire 5,083 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Yes smh I bought glow in the dark keyboard stickers and they didn't glow. They were only £2 but I was still mad. But aside from that everything else I've purchased from those sites has been perfectly fine except a pencil case I bought that smelt really weird.

sailoryoongi 91 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Once on amazon, ordered a poster and it never came .-. It was fairly cheap so it's okay I guess, but I really wanted my poster T^T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterOfCider 692 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Nope, but this is why I kinda avoid ebay. I'm just beginning my journey of online shopping, so I don't really have a set place to go. CDJapan has treated me well so far though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soleria 166 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 One time I ordered a few hair bows from a popular seller and they're made from cute material and function like they're supposed to, but they weren't as high quality as I expected that everyone raved about. Some were made uneven and the edges were seriously bent which I know that was because they weren't packaged the way they should've been. I guess that's not being completely ripped off, just a disappointment. I've tried to convince myself it might've been because they had a lot of orders and with more orders, the quality went down. I always get a bit nervous ordering from sites like ebay, amazon, etsy, storenvy, etc. But I try to find a reputable seller with a good amount of honest reviews and also not spend too much money in case I ever do get ripped off.

night vale. 8,071 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I bought a pair of headphones from a kpop store. Bad idea. I got them out the packaging and they worked for five seconds. It took six months for them to send another and the new ones only lasted two days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
