Re: EBAY, Buying from a seller with no ratings?
Im pretty sure if you pay through Paypal you're covered. I sold something and the buyer said it hadnt arrived. Paypal gave them the money back, with no chance to question it.
I would risk it. |

They've all got to start somewhere. With PAYPAL you've got reasonable cover

Re: EBAY, Buying from a seller with no ratings?
depends on item (iPhones from nigeria and diamonds from sierra leone = no no no) and whether it's near enough for you to collect..
For that sort of cash I'd be tempted to request collection if it's not too far away? Also depends if listing & pics are detailed.. Generic catalogue image from google images and a 5 word description saying "shiny shiny rear sets, mint" would prolly set some bells ringing for me
