This guy doesn't accept paypal only bank transfer but I'm really worried about
this transaction.
I was gonna save up and get a brand new one in april/may with a student discount but this price is unbelievable.

Thing is, the macboox isn't even released for sale yet, not until march but maybe it has been pre-ordered?

kind regards

sorry forgot to add, do they use paypal in china? if so then that would make me much happier.

I'm now aware for next time, you scared me a bit :p

On another note I shouldn't have bid so it's my fault but unless he accepts paypal I am not going to pay. I can put up with bad feedback. it's nothing compared to losing a few hundred pounds. Guess I'll have to save the GBP1400 instead :( I am in the process of selling everything I own. lol

Would stay away myself. Whats with all that amazon.com return policy stuff listed? is he saying it's was brough from amazon.com? or has he just ripped off the amazon.com warrenty policy?

Was another concern of mine. simple copy and paste probably.

Ok that's it, I guess I should forget about it. That woulda been sweet to get a macbook for a fraction of the cost :(

Thanks to all for the advice, I feel sorry for the guy if he's genuine.

regards

I can't believe anyone could be so stupid to even consider bidding on that auction. There are so many things that stand out like a sore thumb. No wonder scammers have such an easy time :(

Thanks :o

I bidded out of excitment, I'm only human :p and yes I did consider it a scam and I would never have paid unless paypal was an option. If I get bad feedback I don't care in this circumstance. I have had an ebay account for 3 years and never bought or sold anything.

I read this before bidding, as an ebay noob I thought I needed to bid before asking questions. doh :o
 
apparently thay are shipping in the US. why is the UK always second or third in line. More time for me to decide I suppose.
 
how on earth do you retract bids?

Update: Contacted seller, if it's a legit sale he woould be happy not to sell at such a low price.

I understood the risk before bidding. I have already said unless he accepted paypal that I would not have paid. Please read the thread before joining in :)

Yes I was silly to bid, but I am not stupid enough to pay. I have already mentioned why I bid on this item.

Thank you very much for the quick reply, I am very excited to have won
