risky

what stuff are you talking about? this forum doesnt sell stuff to my knowledge. do you mean the individuals using the forum who are trying to sell stuff? if thats the case, i would be extremely careful about that. its like asking if buying a gold bracelet off someone in the street is safe? there are some good and bad people out there. i've heard horror stories and also some sucessful stories. but remember that most of the stuff being sold is copywritten and illegal to buy or sell. so from the beginning, you're already dealing with a dishonest person trying to make money illegally off of copying and selling someone else's work, much like the person who possibly stole the gold bracelet or is selling fake jewelery. how much would you trust a known theif? but some are regular folks selling off their used books or whatever and that's usually a different story.

if you're buying stuff from places other than known establishments (like the ones linked on this forum), you're probably trying to save money. the bottom line here is that you will usually get what you pay for. so its your choice about whether or not you're willing to take your chances to save some money. but dont be surprised if you end up losing the money instead. thats the risk you have to be willing to take. good luck.

if someone from this forum asks you for your credit card information, the seller is most certainly a fake...

Using your credit card in Paypal for payment is different, and is consider safer (against ID theft, etc.)
