Buy from Ebay?

grazhopper · 12-30-2005, 05:36 PM

I was just browsing Ebay and I came across some great deals on computers. Basically the one that I am planning on building after I get enough money, is not as good and more expensive then these PCs. I'm considering buying one of them, but I have heard stories how Ebay can be unreliable and sometimes not ship what you want. Do you guys reccomend buying from Ebay? What basics do I need to know for looking for a good seller, so that I won't get ripped off? Please help!!

Well you can get some great deals on EBAY. Always check for very high rating, preferably above 98% and read what other customers had to say. Also check out how many items have been sold by that person. The chances are that when the rating is high and so has the person sold loads, he/she is reliable and above all TRUSTWORTHY.

But check to see the time of all the +feedback. The IPOD scammers have like 100 +feedback, but are all within a few minutes and from the same person.
