Are the websites you buy on eBay scams?
eBay is only a marketplace.
Like every marketplace, it contains honest sellers, dishonest ones, thieves and liars. About the only thing that you will not find in an online marketplace are armed robbers and pickpockets... but sooner or later, they too may figure out a way of abusing online marketplaces.
The best way to know if a website is honest or not is to be a knowledgeable buyer. Just like when you set out to buy a house or car, you must know what you are buying. In the real estate business, the old adage is the "100 House Rule". That is, before you buy your first house, make sure that you investigate and look at 100 houses... by the time you have walked through the 101st house, you will certainly know if it is a good deal or not!
The same with websites. Start cheap. The Internet is crawling with scamsters. It is diffiicult for a website to make good money with Adsense alone, and even if such a site does, it can be later shut down by Google for dicey content.
There are other sites which specialize in selling websites such as Flippa.com and LazyRevenue.com - Look at 100 sites and pick an inexpensive one to gain experience. This way, your losses will not ruin you.
