Alot of the jewelry guys selling on ebay are power sellers, they do it for a living......read the remarks from the hundreds of people that have bought from them before you decide who to buy from. It's just like doing research for any other type of purchase.....but you'll end up paying about 1/3 of the jewelry store price for the exact same diamond by buying it off of ebay.

Diamong engagement rings on eBay 15,748. Search eBay for Diamond engagement rings escrow.com and there are 69 listings and I'm sure a few of those say they are not taking escrow.com.

IF PayPal were to grant you protection under their buyer protection plan your claim is limited to $1000.00.

It is just my opinion but buying something as important as a diamond engagement ring is nt something I would do through eBay, PayPal or escrow.com. Your best bet is to find a jeweler you can trust and work out a deal with him/her.
