Yea I am very carefull. I only bid on auctions That have a feeback rating higher then 20 and have a Star next to their user ID or are Power sellers. Plus they have pictures and very good descriptions. I have even found a few Musical Instrument Bussniess selling on ebay. Sometimes Pawn Shops as well.

The people I look out of have zero or negative feedback, shades next too their User ID and no picture and to short a descrpition.

So yes I scrutenize every auction very carefully. I am not one to just jump in and bid on an item with out reading the feedback rateing. Unless of course it is higher then mine.
