yeah. my dad bought me a 2nd hand final fantasy CD from Ebay. he wired the money over to that guy. but the CD didn't arrive after quite a long time. then my dad got worried and emailed that guy. so he was like...ok ermmm, i don't think the transation (over the internet) was confirmed, so my dad paid for another copy. then later the CD reached my house but we found out that it was the copy we originally paid for when the 2nd one came along. apparently that guy had 2 storehouses for his CDs , one was in singapore and the other in Kuala lumpur, malaysia. the first one didn't get through the customs quick enough, that's why we didn't receive it.

but other than that "strange" experience. my dad has been pretty happy about buying stuff on the internet. he recommends buying on from highly rated sellers on ebay. they are more reliable than new sellers (i think).

and my dad also says that as long as is from a reputable online store, buying things shouldn't be of any problem. stores like yesasia tell you how long it was be before the item is shipped.

so, yeah...
