I've shopped on eBay a lot and only been ripped off once. When I've had problems with some things, they were usually resolved rather quickly. A few months ago I ordered a powercord and it stopped working within a few weeks. I had to send back the broken one, but they immediately shipped me another one even before they got the broken one back. You can find a lot of good deals and sometimes people will pay a LOT for lame stuff you never use, which is always a bonus.
I use Paypal for that and a lot of other things online. Never had any issues with it, though it's a little frustrating sometimes how slow it can be to transfer funds to a paypal account or from paypal to a bank account. And yes, I have my paypal hooked up through my debit card/bank account.
Fun fact, one of the guys who invented paypal is now working as an independent rocket scientist so...yeah.
