I'd never buy anything that expensive. Could you give an example?

Ipods
Software/Games
DVDs
GHD products
Any branded clothing/bags/trainers
Watches/Jewelry

The list goes on, there is more, but I can't be arsed.

Ebay is rife with it, I'd hazard a guess that 75% of everything is fake.

Well to be honest with eBay its all about common sense, obviously you don't buy something off somebody who has zero feedback and has a name like (1234*佳能IXUS) and is selling a 52" widescreen for 99p
I wouldn't buy anything off anybody that has less feedback than 50 and is at 100% or atleast 99%
And I would never purchase anything if the seller does not have a Paypal account

Oh yeah definitely would only buy off people with very good feedback. I was just considering looking on there to buy a couple of books that's all. Just wondered to know people's feedback. Also how easy is it to sell stuff on there?

Just make sure the picture of the book is of the actual book they are selling meaning they might just have a picture of harry potter book but not of the one they are selling.

but like social said look at the feedback. Powersellers are normally the best. Amazon can be alright with things at times like cheap.
