Best place to buy Xikar Xi3 cutter

About the eBay thing, i trust eBay people a good bit. The most fraudulent thing to watch for is when people try'n sell you an item cheap, but charge like $40 extra for shipping to try'n give them a few extra bucks, but the good thing is that with eBay, (and paypal) if you get something that isn't what it was supposed to be, then you can file a complaint w/ eBay, and they can get your money refunded, and they'll charge the fraud. eBay has an advantage witht the whole legally-binding contract thing they've got going.

I shop almost exclusively on eBay; most of the time I get the best price and fastest delivery (most sellers ship same-day and use USPS)

but the good thing is that with eBay, (and paypal) if you get something that isn't what it was supposed to be, then you can file a complaint w/ eBay, and they can get your money refunded, and they'll charge the fraud.

Um, easier said than done. The few disputes I've had weren't settled terribly well.

However, I can only think of 2 times I really got screwed. And that's out of a LOT of transactions!

If you're looking for something specific like a Xikar, you're good.
If you're looking for something more generic like a torch lighter, you may get something less than what you were hoping for (but you paid less than you'd expect)

I had an issue with ebay once. I never recieved the item. I don't know if the lady never sent it or it just got lost in the mail like she claimed. I filed my complaint with paypal and my money was refunded quickly by the seller. I have bought many things from ebay and this was the only time that I had a problem.

Granted, the world's not perfect, but eBay does a fantastic job, considering. They may not get all the the disputes settled, but personally, i was screwed by a guy once, and actually got the guy in serious trouble in with his local law enforcement (he tried to gypp some other folks at the same time too) but i got all my money back (actually twice, b/c he refunded me, and so did eBay), so i'm rather happy with the security of eBay.
