Rep Power: 2 | Not yet ... but because all the sellers are third party its always dangerous to trust them ..Lately there is also news that lots a people are selling fake products in e-bay... I would prefer a guarantee of receiving the product |

Rep Power: 5 | Hello all, e-Bay is a very reliable site. I have purchased DVDs and some other things from them. They has a system called PaisaPay which makes cheating hard. Also seller ratings can guide you. Here is how PaisaPay works: - You place an order over eBay merchant - The Paisapay collects from you via CC / Paypal /ICICI account - System instructs seller to confirm that payment has been collected and shipping can happen - Seller ships item - Item is received by purchaser - Purchaser has 10 days to report that order was not received or goods were faulty. Faulty goods must be returned at purchaser's shipping cost (I think). - If purchaser confirms receipt of goods or more than 10 days are past, seller is paid by PaisaPay - In case of disputes, Paisapay usually returns the money in favour of the party that wins the dispute. PaisaPay system is the sole arbitrator. Cognizant Technlogy Solutions handles eBay account and I should know.

Rep Power: 1 | When it comes to online shopping, I only know of ebay. That's because I'm not into online shopping. I don't like it since it has issues with credit cards. I don't like to have problems with my credit cards. |

Rep Power: 10 | My opinion is that you should not buy anything online here in India as unless its not available in shops around you.. Its always better to have a look at the stuff you are buying. Indian consumer laws have not evolved enough for us to be trusting and risking our hard earned money. I have read some very bad stories here : Consumer complaints If you are ordering from abroad make it a point not to use regular post as we still have babu log working in postal departments who wouldnt let an opportunity to steal go by. I have never had this stealing trouble in UK its just our great country where our countrymen take pride in stealing other people's stuff. |
