Between clarity enhancement, 68% depth and sketchy feedback, I''d say stay away from those earrings.

i think the "unbelievable but true" statement tells it all

I would NOT buy from this ebayer...look at his feedback and that will tell you all...Also, these are clarity enhanced which actually lowers their value from what I have been told. Enhancing can also cause chipping or breaking sooner than a natural non-enhanced diamond. Just a little friendly advice!!

The seller uses the same photo for mutiple auctions so this is yet another reason not to purchase these earrings. Who knows what the real earrings look like!?!

I never do Ebay business with anyone who has less that 99.2% feedback rating...if it''s less, then I automatically move on regardless of how much I want the item...

Stay away from ebay, stay away from ebay.......!!!!!

In general? Or specifically for diamonds??

I use Ebay all the time for non-jewelry items and have never been burned, but I''ve also established strict criteria about the sellers I deal with...

In my experience ebay has been a pretty bad idea in general. I'd say about 80% of my ebay purchases have turned out to be either fake, completely different from the description or just really cheap looking, poor quality items. A friend bought a rather expensive Prada bag that turned out to be fake and the seller promptly disappeared. I'd be very careful with ebay in general.

Sorry to hear that...I''ve bought many of my collector''s pieces, cell phones and computer accessories through Ebay and have never had a problem...

I would stay away from clarity enhanced diamonds. As far as buying from Ebay goes, I''ve generally had good luck with them but having gained some diamond knowledge here at PS, I think I''d shy away from the diamond earrings unless the seller has an EXCELLENT feedback and EXCELLENT return policy.

i buy many (okay waaay too many) things from ebay with no problems, but i, like achioalumna have a very strict set of parameters for purchase. it can be a very good experience.

Ebay is Ok

Too bad they don''t sell some BS detector ! It''s clearly needed.

For those earrings... oh well, everything that has been said sounds just fine with me.

When I say stay away from ebay I mean for diamonds mostly. There have been to many horror stories. As far as non jewelry items I think ebay is just fine.
