When eBay first came out, it was the cool thing to do, almost like AOL instant messaging a couple of decades ago.  Then eBay became a bit of a mess since proper payment controls were not in place.  Now, eBay is at the forefront of buying and selling online due to its easy setup and locked down payment and fraud controls.

Should you buy computer equipment on eBay?  Yes, if the seller’s track record is good and you know to expect that the product is probably used.  We are actually in the process of setting up our new eBay store and it is an exciting process.  In minutes, we are able to advertise recertified laptops, desktops, and hard-to-find computer parts.  Not only are we able to sell computers quickly, but we can also put for sale specific AC Adapters that will be cheaper than going directly to manufacturers.

With PayPal, the playing field with payments is pretty much level since buyers and sellers are both protected against fraud.  With good research and a watchful eye, eBay can work for you.
