Hello, I dont know if this is the right section to post this question, but I want to know few things about ebay! - ebay is used for selling 2nd hand things or brand new? - if they are brand new, who sells them? - how can you be sure that after paying you will get it? - is it safe to buy mini laptop online? Thank you. I want to purchase mini laptop
Both new and used items are sold by individuals or companies. You are never 100% you will get your item.
Ebay sells anything and everything. From brand new tvs to half eaten sandwiches. Check a sellers feedback to make sure they are genuine.
If you don't get your item, you can request eBay for money back. From my experience, I have received 100% of the items I've purchased via eBay. Look at their feedback.
Don't be too sure about that, while i have bought about 30 items the one time i didn't receive i lost my dispute in US dollars thats about $10 spent on NOTHING
You can buy new and used items on ebay, just be sure to buy from a reputable seller this doesnt mean buying from someone just because they have over 500000 feedbacks because sometimes a seller with that type of score has a lot of negatives that you will never get to see the details of the transaction so make surre you go through their feedack profile with a fine toothed comb. If for some reason a seller fails to fall through on his promise contact paypal immediately and let them know what happened. Oh and always make sure the seller accepts paypal, paypal recently started a new rule that says something to the effect that if you are seller with less than 100 feedbacks and you are selling a high ticket item then your funds will be put on hold until the buyer leaves a positive feedback or until 3 days after item is delivered.
I would rather say e-bay as fraud's market where you will find 90% fraud sellers and 8% genuine with 2% dumb sellers. It is a huge market so scams are obvious. Recently there was a case on e-bay which says that they were selling parts or something else related to body of some past Emperor. I think i have read it yesterday only.
ya i agree, most of them are dropshippers = means sell others product and earn a part of sale for them...
I would be more careful with Laptop / Desktops as "Brand new, never used" often means refurbished and polished up to look nice and shiny. I always buy from somebody with lots of feedback, and feedback about the same kind of products
You don't know what Ebay is? The only question worse than that was when my dad asked me last month "what is the internet?"
