that's good news Robert. I'm glad it worked out for you. Most of the time
it has worked out great for me too. Only one time where i was conned was
over a small item. I didn't pay much for it at all so I wasn't particularly
fuming but... dare I say it? that buyer had an 0 rating on their profile
lol. Nah, it was only over the look of a the n-gage mobile fascia. the
product i got looked very different to the picture advertised that's all.
So, trivial I suppose.
yeah, it's not full proof but, it works just fine if you follow a set of
rules you make yourself. To anyone hesitating, just sign up! U don't have
to bid/buy straight away. just have a good look at the things that interest
you, get to know the layout of the webpages, test their accessibility and
whether your screen reader can function 100% with it. For those with
magnification; pay more attention to layout and contrasting font colours
etc. there's no flash! so, no need to worry there. I find the layout and
font colour/styles good enough for me to see. pages aren't too cluttered
and the links I need are in a prime position for me to get focus on. Yeah,
Ray and Carol, I'd familliarize youselves with site accessibility, screen
reader effectiveness first. Ray; pictures on items in ebay can be hit and
miss. Some very easy to see, others not. Another reason I avoid buying an
item is, if i can't see the picture of it well. this more applies to
clothes or anything that needs viewing first.
