    Moved to online buying & auctions
    You have no legal protection if you're buying from a private seller instead of a business so you're basically relying on whatever applicable dispute process, if any, that Paypal / Adverts have (I don't think Adverts get involved).

    Is it so cheap that you would be willing to take the risk of buying something sight unseen?
