I bought my first featherweight, after seeing it on this website, from an EBay person who lived in Canada. She lived only a couple of miles from the US border. It arrived a few days before Christmas and she had bubble-wrapped each individual accessory and part. It was the best Christmas present that I had ever received. It ran like a top, that was 8 years ago and I still use it today.

EBay has a pretty good reputation about making people stand behind what they sell. A couple of other things that I purchased on EBay didn't work out so well and even though the seller didn't want to give me my money back, EBay stepped in and sorted it out. They sent me a label to return the product for free and gave me a refund. So, I have confidence that you have a good experience on their website. However, as they say, "Buyer beware", if it seems to good to be true, it probably is.
