Ebay or Pbnation?
Alright..I'm planning to get a nice gun soon and will probably drop quite a bit of money on it. I was just wondering which is more reliable pbnation or ebay? I'm a little worried about buying off pbnation because ive heard of people getting scammed before. Does this happen alot or what? Will I be sure to get my item off of pbn? Thanks for the help.

People don't know what they are talking about on ebay...
Look on the nation but make sure they have plenty of feedback, or you can do a third party.

I'd also take pbnation over ebay.
Pbnation you can talk the person into lowering their price usally which is always nice when you can.
And like balla said make sure they have plenty of solid feedback, don't deal with members that have only been registered a month or so, and get his adress and phone number and check to make sure it's legit.
And 3rd party would be a good option if both of you don't mind paying for it.

I got another question how many sales or w/e do you consider a good seller? In other words Id be cautious about buying from someone whos sold 1 thing even if that sale went smoothly.

I'd look for more than a handful of feedback, unless the buyers were mods or respected members.

Always checkout the PBNation staff BST. A lot of good deals can be found there cause some of the staff is pretty well connected and you can trust them.

If you are buying a gun for a lot of money like you said, I would make sure that person has dealt with selling guns before and has at least over 15 feedback. Mods can be trusted. Senior members too (with good feedback).

if your careful the chances of getting schamed on pbn is very very slim. i prefer to sell my gun on ebay since its much easier then getting cash for your equipment then on pbn. However, because its so hard to sell on pbn, if you have cash in hand you can buy a lot more quality stuff a lot easier on pbn.

if your sending money make sure to send money through a Pay Pal service. if you get scammed off them you are more likely to track them down through the information they give on Pay Pal.

A 3rd party would prevent you from getting scammed. Talk to Nick(1337PAINTBALLER0 on AIM. He has a 3rd party service, and would be happy to help you out.
