Today it's even safer than it was previously, which was very good under eBay's Buyer Protection policies. Today those protections have been broadened and a buyer can return pretty much anything, even if the seller says "all sales are final" or "we do not accept returns" they have to. In addition, eBay has over the years gotten very tough in removing troublesome sellers.

99.9% of the sellers are terrific, they gladly take back returns, they answer questions before you buy and do what they can to make sure you're a happy customer. These eBay sellers are business people and they want you to buy form them over and over again. They take numerous photographs for each listing complete with measurements, troy or ounce weights, show the maker's marks and include an accurate date when the items were made. As for shipping, you generally get your purchase(s) within a week. Many silver dealers provide free shipping. It's a pretty much a worry free way to buy.
