I understand your view on eBay. But, I did know a friend who ordered a camera from a seller on eBay, paid $100 to the seller, but never got the camera. It could have been that the Postal service put the camera in the wrong mailbox, but my friend had no recourse. I also won't use PayPal because I believe that some merchants use it as a way to bypass the Federal credit card dispute protections. I may be overly cautious, but I will only buy from merchants who will accept a direct credit card payment. That way, I know that if I don't receive the item, or it is defective, I will not have to pay for it. I buy almost everything from Amazon. Just my opinion.
