    ahh fvck :/
    bought a laptop off ebay - http://cgi.ebay.ie/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230003126024

    it arrived today and is perfect, except,
    the processor is only 500mhz and the hard drive is only 20gb.

    ive contacted the seller, but can only assume i wont get a postiive response,
    do i contact my credit card company or paypal or ebay?

    help....

    You will have to open a dispute with ebay about it first and they will contact the seller about it with which you should mention about you having to return the laptop and the cost of that (I dont think you'll get it back though).

    he looks like a big seller, will good feedback to protect... he may just have sent the wrong laptop ,give him a change to fix before going overboard...

    well if im going to have to pay for return postage and then not get all my money back ill end up with not enough money to buy another laptop since i probably wont get my origianl postage money back either :/

    250 [price]
    25 [sellers postage]
    25 [my postage]
    = 200ei minus ebay fees and paypal fees = probably not worth my effort.
    not to mention ill end up with a negative feedback from the seller.

    great :/

    was just contacted by the seller there.
    seems like it was a genuine mistake.
    looks like this may resolve itself.

    32GB seems like an odd size HD.

    Anyway, looks like it's all under control.
