I just paid my first ebay purchase : a laptop.
Based on the price on Harvey Norman, I saved a good $1k + 2 freebies: a 160GB portable HD & usb TV tuner card.
Not bad ei? There was a slight hesitation on the payment but after reading the feedbacks from the buyers, I let go of the hard-earned money. The seller is an Aussie registered company and has a possitive 96% feedback - I guess that's a good start.
(After 5 hours) I'm starting to have negative thoughts, they haven't answered my email to confirm that they have recieved my payment.
Fingers crossed!!!! I'll write an update tomorrow.
