My wife's engagement ring
A pretty nice watch 25% lower than anywhere in the US as I got it from some guy in Singapore named Preppyboy

I've never been really burnt, but had a few close calls. One time I was sent the wrong Versace cufflinks and the seller went awol rather than fix the problem.
Last year I almost got burnt on a Van Staal purchase. Took me 6 months to get my money back and a lot of legal threats.
Lesson Learned: You have 30 days to file a complaint with Ebay and PayPal...after that they won't do much to help you.
