Dunno if I can mention that popular E auction site....

However if someone had a 100% feedback score and is a powerseller would u buy a cpu of them

I hope posting this does not get me into trouble, if its against the rules I am sorry....

Just wanted some advice really....thanks
 
It's not against the rules as it's not a distributor, just an advert site. If there were links to rival companies then yes it would be. CPU's and other solid state things seem fine off of Ebay. To be totally safe don't go buying things that can get damaged in transport easily like hard disks as this can get very messy very quickly.
 
I always check peoples sales etc, make sure there legit sales from various people. You do sometimes get for example something for sale from China like an FX-60 really cheap but I am 100% certain they are bogus accounts set up to con people out of cash.

Just use your common sense really, if someones got 30+ feedbacks then they I would trust them, I've got 70ish feedbacks on my account but thats just through buying 12" Vinyl mainly.
 
I'd be happy dealing with them, though I got scammed by someone selling me a dead CPU with 21 all positive feedback, probably won't buy at auction again.
 
There's a guy on there from china currently selling fx 57's and opteron 165 extremely cheaply, whats the changes he's a scammer. I spoke to him and he claims its so cheap cause the are madein china and he told me the steppings how ever it all seems to good to be true
 
I have had a look at these ones from China and it looks well dodgy, there are three people selling these they all joined 10 jan 06, no feedback on any of em. 2 which are being bidded on are for the most amount and the people bidding on them, look at their feedback how dodgy does that look!! and look like well made up names as well. They say they ship worldwide but there r no payment methods for uk. If u win say goodby to your money and get nothing I reckon, wouldnt touch them with a barge pole.
 
If you do your research right, read what people has to say on the feedback, read the item description properly you wont get ripped, simple.
 
I looked into it and auction site cover you up to £110 i think it was providing you dont pay by cash or pay in western union bank account. Best is to use paypal as that covers up to £500 but a lot of the chinaman dont accept paypal. Sending cheque is probably your best bet or just ask auction site to look into him first.
