Hi Rose,

I've never had an issue with purchases on ebay or with paypal. As candy said, they are secure places. The best way to order or bid is to watch who is selling the item you want and make sure they have a good rating. If there are some complaints about the seller, look at them and see if they have been worked out and fixed.

Also know that there are a lot of phishers that will email stuff to you regarding your account at ebay or paypal saying they need you to sign in by following their link....the emails look authentic but they are not. Neither ebay or paypal will ask you do sign in to change a password or verify your address etc in an email. Just something to be aware of.

All in all, it is quite safe shopping on ebay and I quite enjoy it! Have Fun!

Hugsss
