Does anybody buy their baby formula off of Ebay?

My last two were on Carnation Good Start and I used to buy it off Ebay provided that the cost of the formula and shipping was still cheaper than getting in a store by my house. People thought I was crazy but they were sealed cans and they were not expired. Would you or do you buy yours on ebay?

I have not bought it off ebay, but I have sold it on ebay. My daughter has switched formula 3 times, so I sold the stuff I could not use. It works out great. You get money for the formula you can't use and the buyer gets the formula they CAN use at a cheaper price.

I bought formula for my son on Ebay a few times, too. Formula is so expensive, and my son drank A LOT when he was an infant. We saved a lot of money when we bought formula on Ebay. The only time we bought formula from somewhere local, was when it was on sale. Otherwise we tried to get on ebay for the cheapest price we could find. We checked the seller's feedback, and we checked the can over really well when we got it. We never had a problem with any of it.

I never did. Of course, at that time, I received help from WIC but what that didn't cover & I had to buy - I went to the WalMart. I never even thought of ebay.
As long as it is a sealed can and the expiration date is good - there is nothing wrong with it. Someone might say that the seller could have punctured a tiny hole and put poision or something in there.
My response to them: Formula purchased at any store is a returnable item therefore someone could still do that and send it back to the store or someone could do that right there in the aisle. Although I find it pretty hard to believe and those cans would not be easy to get through.
I think you are doing great! I wish I would have thought about it back then. lol!!!
