Sure are Sunny and Nerd.

Called the, "buy now" feature, where you dont need to use a credit card - rather, direct deposit via internet banking, or "physically" going to a bank, and depositing money into a merchants account.

Do you really need to see the item before buying it ?
Pictures are enough.
Go to a retailer - get the idea of what it looks like - then place a bid.

I was under the impression the "buy now" feature is only online, not a real physical shop you can walk into....

He was after "cheap" no ?
I prefer to save 20-30 bucks on something i have seen before-hand - and buy online, but pay physcially.

You can always pick up the item if located locally anyway.

True. Even with ebay though, and checking out sellers reputation, your always nervous that you didnt get conned/scammed when you click "send payment now".
:(
atm, im looking for an ipod to buy
But you cant beat the $50 student discount given by the apple shops...good way to make 20-30 bucks profit :)

Yes thats true. I bought a 512MB SDRAM stick for $110 last week, except it was DOA. Good thing the seller is a nice guy and he's offered a refund.

I just sold 2x64MB RDRAM sticks this evening for $61.

buy a cheap multi-card reader. and buy a 512 MB stick for whatever digicam u have, and there u go. You've got urself a memory stick that's USB and for ur digicam.

just not as easy as a striaght USB Pen
