ebay or not to ebay?

Posted By: scott

i've done alot of selling and buying on ebay in the past...mainly books on the revolutionary war..without a problem.but as per my previous post,i'm looking to get back in the hobby.i purchased t-cards 15 years ago on phone auctions(no ebay then)with reputable dealers again no problems.

with the advent of so many scams on ebay and doubts of authenticity(sp.)of ebay cards,would it be safer to do auctions through well known dealers?it seems even on ebay at times dealers with many positives may at times place questionable wares on auction.

with ebay people can take your $ and there's little you can do.i know there's far more good sellers then bad ,and many of you sell on ebay yourselves .for myself who donot have the experience ,advice?

as for my own collecting due to cost restraints i'll probably stick to mid and in some rarities low grade cards so its tougher to scam.

opininions on the subject.

thanks again,
scott
