The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I was thinking about this. I wanted to buy a $400 outdoor research jacket, the guy had 0 feedback, but I was able to get the jacket for $250, everyone else on ebay was selling the same jacket for $400, the same exact price the store was selling it for. Few days later I got the brand new jacket and all was well.

This made me think though, what's wrong with buying from a 0 feedback seller? If the item doesn't come, or if it's a scam, doesn't paypal have your back?

Because it's a hassle, you can be without the funds for months, and you can lose.

Even good sellers do have to start somewhere but the increased risk of hassle is that much greater. My wife was recently sold a fake Tiffany bracelet and while Ebay/ Paypal have sided with us, we're still out for postage both ways (i think), not to mention the hassle, nerves and let down. This can happen with a 600 feedback seller, but it's just less likely.
