I would never use them again by far the worst experience I have had buying
on the net, it is made all the worse because you can't talk to real people
they all hide behind the 'e-note', so even simple conversations become
protracted. In the end I had to recover my monies from my credit card
company.

/touches wood/

So far I've had good service from ebuyer.

On the two occasions I'e had to send things back  (CF card failed after 2
weeks, and an IDE to USB that wouldn't)
They have responeded without quibble and replaced the items,  it can take
a
while for questions to be answered and returns to be sorted.

However their packaging certainly isn't great,  with little or no padding
in
the box, bag, or cardboard envelope :-S

You pay you money and take your chance,  and with ebuyer the savings can
be
significant ;-)

after a bit more research I'm about to push the button on an order for
upgrades similar to that suggested by Ho Yin below ( I pushed the boat ou=
t
a
little bit and spent a bit more on the graphics card). Overall, price wis=
e
I
couldn't beat ebuyer on this occasion.  I've never bought from ebuyer
before
and the level of comments on their site about DOA's and returns frighten
me
a bit.  Should I be worried - I know there's a few regular users of ebuye=
r
on here?

TIA

Do you really need a new HD? 80gb is still a fair bit .. they just need
to
tidy up a bit!
