Безопасен ли ebay.com?

I have been utilizing ebay for nearly 20 years, as a solid buyer and I haven't had any issues with the ebay platform directly, at all. I'm not sure if I have even dealt with them directly for anything at all, honestly. The few issues I have experienced have been between the seller and myself. I recall only a few incidents over the years and every has always been corrected properly, or made right as agreed, just as business should be handled. #ebayworks4me

Отстойный сайт. Ещё терпимо, что оплата товаров доступна только через PayPal, НО, заказывал я на свой адрес два физических товара и ни один не пришел. Электронные товары приходят хорошо, а физические - нет. Интерфейс неудобный, захотите подробности узнать о товаре (статус, дата доставки, дата заказа и т.д), этого сделать не сможете
