I'm one of the lucky ones who have no bad experience so far. I've bought clothes from ebay and other websites before with no problems. Usually i would learn the background of the online store or person before making any purchases or i would see what other customers say.

But sometimes it's not the customers who get conned. Sometimes it's the sellers as well. I came across before this guy (from overseas) who wanted to buy a product from my friend in bulk. He promised to banked in the money and gave his details. A few days later my friend got an email, supposedly from a 'bank' saying that the money is ready to be transferred into his account, but he has to send the items first. The email was quite professional and many ppl would have thought it was valid. Not believing this email, my friend emailed this customer, and the customer promised to check it out with the bank. After that there was no news from the customer and bank afterwards.

Just a story to share with you all. So that you guys won't fall for this kinda things as well.
