Wow, its funny how so many have so much trouble with it. I have been using both for years. I just bought a $25000 van on ebay and last year bought a $55000 mercedes on there. Both are fine. I bet I have bought and sold over 400 airplanes on there and the only thing I have ever been burned on is a heli I bought from a dork with no feedback and no pictures. The price was too good to be true and I can only blame myself for that one. If you do good research and stay away from no feedback sellers, you will do fine. If you are paranoid about buying online, stay away from it.
