One Step Ahead

A recent study reports that on-line auction company eBay tops the list of trusted companies by American consumers, leading American Express, Procter & Gamble, and even Amazon.com.

This is a big turnaround from a few years ago, when the vast majority of Internet fraud was reported as coming from on-line auctions. Although there are still some well-publicised reports of big eBay fraudsters (such as the Australians who sold fake Los Angeles Lakers season tickets to American basketball fans), the general feeling is that eBay is a safe community for picking up a bargain.

I've bought a few business books through eBay, and I've found it easy and safe to use. If you haven't tried it yourself yet, I suggest you take a look at it yourself.
