Best way to go at this?
Within the next 2 weeks I will be buying $12,880.00 worth of stuff over the internet. Now I am looking at half.com, ebay.com, and a wholesale site for this stuff. What is your best suggestion to buying these items? How do I protect my self if someone is a scammer, ect?

Obviously do business with reputable merchants and you should not have a problem. Use credit cards in case you need to issue a chargeback for fraud.
If you are buying anything high-ticket, and you dont trust the seller... use an escrow service if possible.

Most of it only $2.00 - $20.00. Though so far I have found a few with what I need that have a high amount of sales. Hopefully all will do good.
Though a problem with charge backs is visa does a $25.00 charge back fee if I do a charge back  .

Just curious:
Why are you buying $12,880.00 worth of merchandise in the next two weeks? And where are you getting the money?

That is charged against the merchant and not the consumer.

I would not like to say what it is in the open forum, but would in a PM if someone PM's me. The money is a loan .

Ok. I'm not the only one! I have the exact same questions.
Why 2 wks. why not 3? Is their a time limit?
Why 12,880? Why not 12,990? Are you sure the 12 was not a typo 
How did you suddenly inherit 12,880?
Edit: You might as well post on the board :: you're going to get a lot of PM's. Goes to PM Torith
