No hidden charges, you pay a lising fee and a final fee depending on how much it goes for, the more fancy your ad then the more you pay for pics etc.

if your selling all you do is make sure you recieve your payment before you send the goods out.
make sure you mark your goods before you send them out IE: i sold a blaupunkt changer and marked it with a uv pen, when the guy recieved it he said it didnt work, so i got it back and it wasnt mine, the changer i got back didnt have the markings on it!

Its no different than someone getting your card details from the net or somewhere else you'll get the risk wherever you shop.

You mean you posted on here asking if you'd get away with it and we said no?
Its no more dangerous than advertising your item elsewhere, with the added bonus that its full of idiots paying over the odds for junk.
