I use eBay alot. Since I live in a small town, it's a godsend for me. I don't have to drive 45 miles to the nearest gaming store to get what I want. It comes straight to my Post Office Box. As stated already, if you are looking for something old or out of print you can probably find it there 90 percent of the time.Just be sure you check the sellers feedback. Read the payments section to see what they accept and when they expect it and you should be fine.

I will also add a word about PayPal.
I have been using PayPal for years now and never had any trouble at all. You can send payments for auctions instantly and securely. You don't need a credit card as you can use e-checks (instant transfers). But, if you wanted to use the credit card option you could. PayPal transfers the money from your Card/Account to them and then sends it from their account to the seller. The seller doesn't see your information or account numbers. There are no fees either. Be careful if you use anything other that PayPal for auction payment. Some add on up to a $5 fee! And some seller will accept only those sources of payment. So read the whole auction page carefully and completely.

So...You can get some great deals on new and hard to find stuff on eBay. Just use common sense when dealing with a seller and you'll be just fine.
