[@megamixa]

@@azumag4432 You don't seem to understand what "bang for the buck" means. It doesn't mean cheap. It means the most value for the money spent. 1000 cans of corn for $5 is a great bang for your buck. 1 can of corn for 1 lobster for $5 is a bang for your buck. The 1000 cans of corn are worth more than the 1 lobster, but they're both a bang for your buck since you're maximizing your dollar to get what you want.

Shipping from US is stupidly expensive for some reason.

Do they want to hand deliver the package or something? Even shipping a phone to EU would typically cost anywhere from 60 to 120 USD. This is stupid. During my 30 odd purcases from e-bay 29 of them were posted from China for free. On a single occasion I had to pay 3 USD for postage and that's it so far. US postage is stupid.

[@W1ldTangent]

Ebay's Global Shipping Program charges an arm and a leg for shipping to Canada. Doesn't matter what it is or how far, you're in for at least $50 between the shipping and import taxes, and then there's sales tax on those taxes too probably, it's madness.

[@Vanilla_Donut]

Yeah, I noticed the cooler and the SSD showed them paid more.

[@mjbakedbeans]

Harmkees 03 my guess is they just looked up good deals on eBay and it turns out that they were cheaper elsewhere

[@AlpakaWhacker]

I mean.... that sorta makes sense considering that people/companies selling on ebay need to pay upto 10% in ebay fees plus upto 4% on PayPal fees. Plus the SSD wasn't even bought used from some random seller, it was new from a genuine company that was selling on ebay. If that company had their own website, chances are the SSD would have been cheaper buying direct from the companies site rather than through ebay.

1:54 I had to wait 7 months for my ddr3 memories to arrive to Mexico from China. I thought someone on the mexican post office robbed them so I asked for my money back to Ebay, after the memories arrived, I contacted the seller and payed him again. At this point I had to pay more because the mexican peso worth less than the time I was originally buying the memories. I'm talking about early 2017, when Trump arrived to power and the president of Mexico was an ignorant muppet.

[@piewars12345]

a seller with 91.7% feedback for that case is a no no, which is prolly why it was packaged so bad... you want people with at a minimum 98% :)

[@SickBuckNaStY]

It Also Depends If They Only Have Like 20 Review's... Then 92% Is Just A Couple Bad Reviews!

[@mjbakedbeans]

Owen Dillingham well you just gotta hope it’s not fake reviews

[@AlpakaWhacker]

Not just the feedback percentage but the tiny amount of feedback, I'd almost never buy a pc part on ebay from someone with just 20 feedback (and that includes feedback as a seller and as a buyer)

[@vgamesx1]

@@SickBuckNaStY It also depends on the person that gave the feedback, it's not uncommon to see negative feedback for some pretty ridiculous reasons like "I ordered this right before christmas and it arrived late 0/5" while I'm sitting here thinking "No shit..." so if it's at a good price, maybe look at why they got the feedback before writing them off.

[@Globodyne]

eBay ratings are all bullshit anyways, I pay no attention to them. If your seller didn't do a perfect job and you wanted to rate them 4/5 stars, well that is considered "negative feedback" so people just end up rating them 5 stars instead or else they whine. Unlike Amazon where you aren't expected to rate people or products perfect unless they actually are.
