I want to buy theatre tickets on Ebay but I've never used ebay before. I know how to use it but how do I know if the tickets I buy are real? What happens if they're fake? Thanks

Doesn't PayPal have some kind of insurance if the person is decieving you? I really have no clue though since I don't buy stuff from ebay, so don't trust me...

I'm fairly certain its like anything else you buy on Ebay, if it turns out to be fake or misrepresented then E-bay protects you and you can get your money back, there is also protection through paypal. Of course, you still wouldn't end up with the tickets, but I don't think you would necessarily lose your money.

how many auctions has the person had? What is their rating? If it's above 90% you should be ok. If it's someone whos only had say, a few auctions, I would not do it

I have bought tickets once off eBay and they were fine.

and I've sold lots of tickets on eBay when I found my plans had changed. It just seemed easier to sell them on eBay when you live out of town than to do it any other way. Like they've said - look at the feedback rating of the seller and then actually look at their feedback comments. It's pretty easy to weed out the bad traders.

if you live in ny then you get screwed because they can only charge a certain percentage over the actual price and people from other states can bid more that you can. but good luck.
