Tips & Warnings
Shipping and handling costs are combined into your item cost when purchasing items off of eBay, so you do not have to pay them separately.
Never give your Paypal or eBay account information, such as usernames and passwords, to anyone. This could compromise your money and security. If you do not get the agreed upon items that you had purchased from eBay, contact eBay and Paypal immediately to resolve the problem with the seller.
