Hi:

I am also a user of many years on eBay and so far I see that it works well. It is true that in the search if you do not configure, eBay shows you many products of German or British merchants, perhaps by the weight that these portals in the set of all eBay sites.

Anyway you can select the country where you want to perform the search, and all of these vendors disappear, unless the sellers say they are in the selected country and they hit lying. It is very difficult to control.

If you pay by Paypal you are protected on eBay. Problems of fraud occurred mainly with bank transfers and other payment methods that are not safe. I bought items from vendors who did not comply, and Paypal refunded me my money.

A greeting.
