Is ebay.co.uk Safe?

I've had some real bargains and top-quality purchases - the sellers have always contacted me, if there is going to be any postal delay, and how long to expect my purchase to arrive. Any problems have been quickly resolved (usually at the mercy of Royal Mail!). I've contacted Support via phone, after I received a scam/suspicious email (a lot of it is about, regarding just about everywhere). They were very nice and informative, and put my mind at rest. Do as they always advise - report anything suspicious which arrives in your email, don't reply to it, and don't click on any links within that email. Safe & Happy Shopping!
