Ebay

Can somebody please explain the methods on how to purchase items on Ebay?

Would I send the money order straight to the person's house?

yes, that ... or a check, or if you dare ... cash. Paypal works also. You should've posted this in the Basement, however. No biggie though

sorry about posting in the wrong forum

Do you think I'll get ripped off if I send the money order to the person? I wont even know if the person sent the product.

usually paypal or billpoint is the preferred method because they offer protection against those that would scam others.

usually it's good practice to avoid sellers that only accept check or money order.

I prefer PayPal only and if I do expensive items I would use a third party to hold the $$.

Just make sure you use a USPS money order, USPS has there own police if you get ripped off nothing else will matter
