AmiBay or eBay?

[spajdr]

I like Amibay for selling your items.
But if you want to buy something, its like lottery, when you need something badly, you cant find it and where it suddenly appears, someone else ask for it first, no bidding.
Also i cant imagine to buy something and get nothing, from someone who is selling over amibay for the first time, how you get your money back?

If you are buying through any forum unless you trust that person 100% make sure you pay with the PayPal 'goods' option this will give you PayPal protection if the seller turns out to be a fraud.
 
If the seller is insistent on you using an unsecured payment method such as bank transfer of the 'PayPal 'gift' option you can always walk away or in the latter you can offer to pay the PayPal fee's if they accept your 'goods' payment or raise you a proper invoice, if the seller is genuine I'm sure they would accommodate

Thanks for info steve, well then that part is covered.
But my other concern still stays, even if i can spend more money then others on something, it still means nothing and sometimes you get it by pure luck.
I wish there would be some kind of [Auction] option on amibay.
