Things have changed on Ebay. You're pretty much covered unless you send check or moneyorder

Read it again. I think that's what Randleman was saying. I love Paypal anyways, not just for eBay, but because I can pay for things on lots of sites without having to re-enter my personal info and account numbers all the time. MUCH SAFER!!


As to the reel, I've found that you have to look at the ad on eBay carefully. New is not the same as "factory refurbished" and they have to tell you if it is. So even though something may come in a factory sealed box, it might not be "new". That's not to say that refurbished isn't good... in some cases it's even better, cause it's been hand inspected to make sure it's ok.

And yes, I get most of my rods, reels and line on eBay also. You simply can't beat the prices.
