Need help for this forum im new

I am looking to buy a canon 40D and a 70-200 f4 lense with in this week and the next. I see on here everyone does pay pal. My question is I havent bought anything off of this site and dont really know how things go with people on this site... Are they any persons I should not buy from... I dont wanna get ripped off. Not saying there is but im sure we can all agree that our camera's are our investments. Im just new thats why im asking. Thanks... also if you have any of these items for sale im in california let me know your offers.

check the seller's feedback first before buying.

I have never bought or sold here, so on that level I cannot be of personal help. However, I can say that over the last 3 years I have read consistent comments that the people here seem to be more honest and trustworthy, and a step above other forums and auction sites if that helps. Good luck.

Agreed. Also ask if they have feedback elsewhere (ie. Fred Miranda or eBay). That might help shed some light on the seller.
