Re: [Thinkpad] How to buy a notebook on Ebay

Some years back somebody here gave me a really hard time for suggesting
the buying on eBay was risky. Oh, how times have changed:-)

Last week I had my first-ever bad experience with eBay (not
computer-related); seller is an affiliate of Circuit City, so I thought
I'd be reasonably safe. I can't even leave negative feedback, since the
seller waits to see what the buyer writes, then leaves rubbish feedback
for anyone who dares to gripe. Now that I know that the feedback system
has an extortion component, I would never buy anything expensive on eBay
except from someone I know of through independent channels.
