ebay feedback?


Question Posted Thursday October 11 2007, 12:25 pm

hi..i really want this camcorder/mp4 player..and an e-bay shop has it for a lot cheaper then it is, and even if i add the postage and packaging..it will still be cheaper than buying it from a store. the problem is...they have 318 negative feedback in the past 12 months. but thats from 23,292 feedback in the past year. should i get it from the person...or pay more...like £60($120) more in the store?

Eh. It's not really great. My mom is an obsessed Ebayer, so I'm pretty familiar with the feedback system.

In ratio to the 23,292 feedbacks, 318 isn't THAT much. But why should they have 318 negative feedbacks at all? If several hundred people had a big enough issue to leave negative feedback, I'm not sure if I would risk something as expensive as a camcorder. Plus, it's not like this one seller will be the only other cheap option. Eventually, another cheap camcorder will be put on Ebay, maybe by a seller that's easier to trust.

I'm not saying to definitely not buy it, but just be careful.

That equates to about 0.013% negative feedback.

I would buy it from the ebay seller if I were you.
