RE: Are Ebay products legit?
I absolutely agree with the above. I have bought a few things off eBay and have always been happy, but I have also heard some horror stories. You have very little recourse if a seller does a bait and switch or the item is not as represented. But most eBay sellers are legit. In fact, many brick and mortar stores use eBay as their "on-line store" rather than go to the trouble and expense of setting up their own site.
I always check online before buying an item off of eBay. If an item is only a few dollars more expensive at a "regular" on-line place or in a retail store, I will usually not do eBay. Many times I have seen items (not necessarily baby things) going for MORE on eBay than in retail stores. It is important to do your homework and keep your head and not get all excited about bidding. Just remember that the same or similar item WILL come up again.
I actually haven't bought any baby things off eBay, but we have bought a LOT of camera equipment from eBay. When an item has been discontinued, eBay is often the ONLY place you are likely to find something.
