Re: Stupid woman sold me a pirated copy of a AGB game.
I sold an Incredible Hulk game for Gamecube on eBay and I ended up never getting payed. This lady gave me some sketchy e-check or something. By the time I caught on, the 30-day period had passed during which I could have filed an unpaid item claim. The transaction was only around $20 so I wasn't upset enough to pursue it. Since I had sent the game to her, I had her address so I could have always paid her a visit. She lived in a real ghetto part of the Bay Area so I pitied her.
Aside from that one instance though, I've never had any bad experiences buying or selling online. I've done a few things through Craigslist too which is real popular here. Not sure how widespread that is now, it originated in San Francisco.
The best advice I can give you is to look through a seller or buyer's reputation if one is available. eBay has the feedback system which allows people to give each other positive, negative or neutral ratings. And the ratings are fixed into a percentage. I would never deal with anyone who had less than 99% positive feedback.
If its some sort of online retailer, look for the little 'trusted site' emblems that are usually at the bottom.
