I've shopped at hobby stores and through eBay - not had any problems. I won't use paypal to pay for eBay goods however - heard too many horror stories about it! I'll also only order from online stores that have a known address and ideally a real-world store too. Of the two online stores I buy from, one has multiple awards from "Which" (a consumer body over here - they campaign for better products, better instructions, etc) and the other has assorted government-sponsored e-business awards - they're both reliable, efficient companies. <br /> <br />I agree that buying online doesn't compare with actually being in a store, but when S&H is £4, while it would cost me about £10-£15 in diesel and parking to visit my LHS, the economic argument is hard to beat. I try to buy as much as possible locally, only going online for deals, out of production equipment, and models my LHS doesn't have. The same goes for eBay - will only buy things I can't find anywhere else.
