Agreed. It was much worse before. Items were sold on craiglist or gumtree. They are completely filled with scams, send cash by mail and never receive the item. Noone sane would buy an item online.

I buy almost everything online (normally eBay, because I like the convenient price comparison between different vendors, and the consistent search and checkout interfaces). I almost never have any issue.

I believe he was saying that it used to be much worse, not that it is like that now.

I, along with many thousands, regularly buy stuff on OLX (local equivalent of those sites) and pay by bank transfer (which is not reversible) or even cash-equivalents.
