Yes, though I've only bought 2 things there: Legend Of Dragoon, and Legacy Of Kain: Soul Reaver both for PS1. They were both perfect when they got here, though a bit slow getting here mainly because I'm canadian though.

Very reliable except I bought a game from china and I've been waiting for it for 3 weeks...

1 more week until I escalate this into a paypal claim.

Yes, they have all kinds of safeguards in place to ensure that people don't scam you out of your money. Just stick with PayPal; if anyone asks that you take it to Western Union, ditch them.

I've found Ebay to be quite reliable. Just make sure that the guy's positive feedback is at least about 90% and that the description CLEARLY states that the correct system is involved and not just the box the console comes in. It's happened before. Believe it.

It's reliable enough, you just have to be careful.

As other have said, check the seller's feedback (particularly for DS games, since Chinese copies tend to pop up), make sure to use Paypal for their own set of safeguards in the event the seller tries to screw you over, and you should have a relatively pain-free transaction.

My only real complain is how often sellers go ape-**bleep** with shipping charges just so they can post lower prices than everyone else. I wish I could smack those people around with a concrete-wrapped piece of rebar.

Before buying always check the sellers feedback, this is a must. I generally stay clear of people with low reputations and new people. I also use Paypal only.
