Is the website Ebay legit?

[Brent G]

It's about as secure as you're going to get for an online unregulated auction site. I've never had a problem with the site, but also haven't purchased anything really expensive either; most i think was like $50.
They also have a good customer support line that can help mediate a dispute if you believe a seller was being dishonest or scamming you; doesn't guarantee you will get money back but at least you're not out on an island alone if an issue arises.

As with any online purchase in an "as is" market there is always risk that you will just have to accept, but if we're judging the quality of the site in comparison to the competition it has to be near the top.

Hope that helps.
