I agree with MeoW_MeoW. I have been dealing quite a lot on Yahoo Singapore Auctions too and so far, I have not encountered any bad buyers or sellers. I think it all boils down to the integrity of both the buyer and the seller.Originally posted by MeoW_MeoW:the basic rule is to buy from people with good ratings and no bad history... so you need to do some simple background checks... the risk is very minimal... i am speaking from personal experience
as i said, you can always dispute the bill if they overcharge you, but so far I've never been overcharged. if this taiwan website is known...not some overnight springup, it shd be relatively safe.Originally posted by thhong22:ehhh..... i trying to get a chinese book from a taiwan website.....

There's a certain risk when dealing over the internet because you can never know whether the other party is genuine or not. I personally feel that it's a gamble and of course, if you do some background checks on the retailer/seller, it becomes more of a calculated risk rather than an uncalculated one.
oh ok thanx.....Originally posted by pie:as i said, you can always dispute the bill if they overcharge you, but so far I've never been overcharged. if this taiwan website is known...not some overnight springup, it shd be relatively safe.
