You will wait for your money to be returned to you, you will wait long time.

 

Just buy it if you dont need the money. You will be refunded if anything is haywire about it.

So if I can afford to wait for the money return for like 4 months, I can just go ahead and try it, and nothing other than that can/should happen

Quite a few of those are him selling to individual sellers you posted a 16, 42, and a 6600k sold by that guy that were received and worked for the individuals who bought them. Honestly this is a normal dude just pay with paypal and wait for your card to show up. Test it when you get it under load for quite a while monitoring it and enjoy your new card.

So you're not even the slightest worried if it's paid through paypal ?

This guy has a decent history for an average joe which is good to begin with. I have around 1100 e-bay feedback, but at one time i started at 0. The people who I buy from I have to know the history of their accounts and this one checks out pretty well, since a scammer isn't going to give e-bay a hundred bucks to sell you a GPU, mostly likely ending in your favor if they can't produce proof of shipment. If you have any problems talk to me and I'll guide ya through it even though.

Thanks dude!
I'd appreciate the help.


The bidding ends in like 23 hours.
So Tomorrow about this time, I'll hopefully be the only one who bids on it and wins.

Then maybe you can guide me through it.

Okay so If the item is not as described, will ebay back him up, as he has set " no returns" ?

Ebay will not back him up unless it is described as it is on his listing. I recently went through something like that and won the case.

 

Don't listent to yathis, ebayer's have to start somewhere. 34 100% feedback sounds good to me and they've been a user for over a year. It won't take 4 months to receive a refund, you'd be looking at a couple of weeks max.

How do you know they've been a user for over a year? Don't think I saw that anywhere :o

 

Sounds great when you put it like that. Definitely going to use paypal for this.

Says he's been a user since Nov 2015. Go back to his feedback page and you'll see it near his profile picture.

If you're buying from overseas then it's a little risky, especially if it's a 2nd hand item. Make sure you get a tracking number and maybe even insurance if it's an expensive item.

eBay ALWAYS (99.9%) sides with the buyer in "item not as described" cases. 

 

Unless you open 10,000 of these hourly. 

 

It sucks to be a seller on eBay really.

Another question.

 

Since I'm buying from UK, the price is in Pund Sterling.

 

I'm in Denmark, so the money I transfer to Ebay is in DKK, how do it make sure, it's just the right amount I transfer? Two different currencies.

About the currency, Paypal will sort that out for you when you pay. It will convert it when after you sign into paypal, you will see.

34 feedback is just a casual seller like myself. I only have 13 feedback now with 100% positive but I maybe sold or bought 25 items on eBay. Just not everyone want to give feedback.

 

Quote

think my feedback is only about 20 and I sold to a guy who had feedback of 2. As a seller I was more worried about the low buyer score as some people have won items on my old account (lost password, used on an extinct email)

 

haha, my old eBay account got lost too and hacked. I was too lazy to recover it. I just started new like you :D
