    When someone is selling something for a euro but delivery is what the actual price should be eg €100, whats that about?

    If something arrives broke, who pays to return?

    Any reason not to buy electronic stuff?

    What if seller doesn't want to know if you've a problem?

    I've never used it before, any tips? Stuff to watch for?

    A seller pays a fee on the sale price not on postage costs so some sellers jack up the postage to avoid this . It's against ebays t&c & they have clamped down on it. You need to decide if the total price is acceptable when making a purchase.

    When buying anything high value check the sellers feedback rating and look for comments from buyers who had a problem & how the seller reacted to them.

    Always pay through PayPal (not postal orders or cheques) as they will provide help if goods are not as described or damaged.

    Be wary of cheap Chinese goods but also sellers who say they are eu based but are actually based in china.

    How do you check that? Was looking at 2 items from a business seller in spain.

    All looks ok except for the postage being the actual price.

    Think I'll chance it. Ebay virgin no more.:pac:

    €230 altogether though. Pricey to go wrong.
