For me, I buy some on ebay and some from mail order. Very rarely do I buy from the LHS. Their selection is poor, and they usually have to order what ever I ask for. So I might as well order it myself. I would be very careful on ebay, you are right, there are a lot of deals, that aren't deals. Do your homework, place a maximum bid and wait. Abotu half the time you will be better off ordering from an internet seller. There are deals, they are just hard to find. About 5 years ago, there were a ton of deals. <br /> <br />As for using credit/bank cards for internet shopping. I have a bank card dedicated for this sole purpose. It is not linked to any other accounts, and I keep a small balance on it for making ebay and on-line purchases. I transfer funds in when I need to buy something. This way, if anyone does get my number, they won't get a whole lot from the account. Make sure the account is not linked to others, this is your firewall for all of those internet robbers.
