When buying online, especially from E-Bay, sellers range from Joe average with a DSL in their garage to authorised resellers. You will get ratings for each seller from other buyers, including good (and bad) reviews. In all cases, e-mail the seller before confirming a purchase, call them and get as much information from them as possible. You can do one better and send them a contract before you make purchase. As for the merchant, PayPal is good, but if you can have a well-known arbitrator that will side with you the moment you feel cheated, it would help a great deal. If you can stick with authorised resellers, and actually deal with them outside the realm of E-Bay (and PayPal), that would increase your chances of a more successful sale, significantly, especially where you are a regular buyer of similar items (switching/routing gear, books, software, e.t.c.) But as Shem says, keep your eyes wide open. Do your research before you buy anything online, especially from the E-Bay type.
