Yes, it is.  Just check the seller's feedback before buying.

I've bought probably half my decks off ebay sellers, many of which were an excellent deal. Look for 100% (or close to it) feedback and sellers that seem to focus on playing cards and you will be fine.

Yeah just be sure to check the seller and know the product you want to buy. That way you won't get a fake or replica deck. It's pretty reliable though.

Practically everything comes with Ebay's Buyer Protection, so it's safe that far. I've been buying and selling things for a long time and nothing has gone wrong.

I buy things from ebay about once per month for 8 years.  I've never been burned.  I do try and only buy from people with 98% and 500+ transactions.

Both eBay and PayPal have protection for buyers so it is generally a very safe place to buy, Just don't do silly things obviously only buy from buyers with a high percentage

Paypal is generally biased towards the purchaser, and in most cases where the purchaser has been scammed will refund you the money so there is very little danger.

I'm pretty much in agreement with all of the above.  The "Wild West" days of eBay are long over.  The days when scams were common and people were left with no cash, no product and no recourse to recover either are in the past.  Almost everything you can buy on eBay is covered by its Buyer Protection program.  Remember to use PayPal for your payments, and don't make trade outside of eBay unless you REALLY know the buyer, such as a domestic retailer like BMPokerWorld or the1eyedjack, or a friend you know through direct contact.

fullboatdealer's ebay store http://stores.ebay.com/Full-Boat-Dealer-Playing-Cards?_rdc=1
pokerstud52's eba store http://stores.ebay.com/52-and-Jokers?_rdc=1

i think we would all agree that these two are top notch sellers on ebay. i personally have made more then a few orders with each.

if anyone knows any other ebay sellers that they have bought from that they are happy with im sure people would be happy to get a link to their stores.

If you order from pokerstud52 here via PM instead of on eBay, he'll give you a 10% discount on your order.  Use eBay for making your shopping list, then tell him here what you'd like.  He's a good seller, I've dealt with him before.

Again: if you order from BMPokerWorld on his website, he has a coupon code for 10% off.  Check out the coupon codes topic.

most sellers are trustworthy on there. but do try to stick with ones with 97%+ feedback, just to be on the safe side.
 
unlike the others, i wouldn't say to go with 500+ transactions or whatever, because sometimes the rarer or vintage decks don't come from those sellers. u just have to make sure, if the price is going to be high, ask for an insurance on the package and u'll be good to go!
