buying a laptop on ebay from hong kong?
So I am on ebay and there is this seller that is selling 7 inch netbooks all the way from hongkong. bids start at 50 bucks. problem is that he is selling out of hong kong and wants a phone number when u order so he can make sure u get the package on time. What do u think? Should I go for the bid or forget it? I dont know if i should trust a package comming from outside the us. how do I know I will get the package? He has 98 percent of postive feedback. What do u think?

Well on ebay you're protected, if you use paypal. when you win the item he will need to provide tracking number on auction listing or send you an email of the tracking number. Receiving items from outside the united states is safe as long as its actually coming. The only reason you wouldn't get item is because there was complications in customs. I buy from chinese manufactures all the time. It usually takes about a week to arrive. Make sure you use paypal though. If any case where he didn't send item u can dispute on ebay to get your money back.

I've bought many things that come from HK. There are quality business thriving out of the city. I primarily go on the quality of the feedback. Does he have a lot of sales and does he have positive feedback. You answered yes to one of these.

If you bid just remember there may be customs fees. If he has good feedback and you pay with Pay Pal you should have no problems. I would not give my phone number the eBay mail system should be all he needs. I have seen those same netbooks from American sellers for about $125
