Electrical goods on eBay

slow_saver

Does anything electrical work properly that is sold on eBay? I've bought a DVD recorder that doesn't work properly, I bought an led heated bathroom mirror, that doesn't work properly, my friend bought a mobile phone that lasted a week before it packed up, and she also bought a kiddies money box thingmy that packed up, all of the items were new in their boxes. I won't buy any electrical goods from eBay anymore as it seems to be swamped with reject stuff. How have you fared with eBay?

Ebay's always been full of people flogging mail order returns.

Bought lots never had any problems. Are you checking your sellers out properly?

on ebay all is not what it seems all of the time. Much of what is listed as new in the electrical section is refurbished.

The first thing I brought on Ebay and the reason I joined was to get a Samsung Mobile phone. Second hand. Still got it 5 years later and works perfect! I would never buy any big expensive electronics from Ebay though. In fact I would never buy a big expensive electronic unless it from a big well known name.
