I've purchased a few things through ebay, some of which include some hard drives. I have to say I got an awesome deal on a drive a while back. If you're lucky enough to be like me, they won't notice the payment not going through, and you'll get it for free. :)
Typically you just have to be wary of who you're buying from, and if it smells like a scam, go with your gut instinct, it probably is. There's enough choices out there that you don't need to risk your hard earned money when you don't have to.

I only buy "safe" things on ebay like books. Nothing electronic. I have heard a lot of stories from people who bought cell phones and cameras who ended up frustrated because the items easily malfunctioned after a short while.
Your safest bet when buying electronics is still buying it in a real store where you can be handed out a warranty card and where you can directly go to for repair or refund if ever something goes wrong. It would be hard to run after somebody who sold you something over the internet, even if you thought the price was such a good buy.
It's not worth the hassle later, in my opinion.

I have bought a few things but nothing like a laptop. I bought a cartridge for my laser printer and that worked fine. That is the closest to any computer type equipment that I have bought there. I see you are in China, so does China have its on branch of ebay? If it doesn't then you should be very careful about shipping costs and the reliability of the seller according to ebay's rating. Here in the U.S. for something like a laptop, I would probably look first at sales in local stores especially at this time of year and in the present economy. If the seller of the laptop you are interested in is not in China, then I think it might not be a good idea to risk it.

hello my fellow myLotter, i buy alot of things from Ebay. recently i had purchased a new XBOX 360 for only $132 dollars. it works fine and haven't had any problems. i also purchased a year warranty just in case for only twelve dollars. so if you are planning on purchasing a laptop make sure you purchase a warranty. take care and happy posting!
