This is why I don't like E Bay. If you're buying something small and inexpensive or big enough to warrant going in person to pick it up, okay. Otherwise, things like cars and other big-ticket items are too risky in my opinion.
This is one place where the old-fashioned classified ads in my local newspaper seem the best bet. Of course, if E Bay was to create area-specific sections to their listings, that might be nice. I suppose it's possible to narrow your search to a specific area, but I just don't use E Bay that much.
How do the rest of you feel about this? Obviously, you're looking at cars on E Bay, but how far would you go to buy something like a car?
