when you buy on there aren't you pretty much buying from individuals

Certainly individuals sell on ebay but the big suppliers are there as well. While probably not a problem, I avoid individuals and buy strictly form the big companies. APMEX, JM Bullion to name just two. I have had 100% satisfaction. Others have concerns but I use paypal.

It costs you nothing to go to ebay and look around. Do a search on silver bullion or whatever you prefer.

Out of the 1000s of transaction that I have taken part in, both buying and selling, less than .01% have had problems.

It used to be mostly from individuals, now it is mostly companys. PayPal split because the owners knew Ebay's new policies would kill both their businesses!

Tap your bullion rounds together and make sure they go "cling cling" if you purchase anything from that site. There's some great buys to be had but there's also a lot fraud
