Living Just over the water in the Channel Islands, I had expected to get a slightly higher delivery cost, but this is usually negated by removing the VAT element (no VAT in Jersey). These people wanted to charge £15 ON TOP of my shipping PLUS £5.76 VAT for a product that only cost £15.84. Not only will I not purchase from again, I will advise my clients not to purchase from them. Item Price £15.84 Order Total: £38.59 Overall Rating

Overall a very good experience. Excellent follow-up, got immediate confirmation of order and then shipment. Just a bit of a hassle that it didn't approve my address until several tries. Overall Rating

Ordered a 512mb SD card. Good price, kept me well informed on progress with 'confirmation of order' and 'order despatched' emails, and delivered on time. Overall Rating

Item ordered at 10:30 on 26th for next day delivery (for which extra paid) not delivered and not even processed until next day. Consignment number given when eventually shipped not recognised by shipper. No way of getting immediate response to enquiry. Would not buy from them again. Overall Rating

This order was delivered three days (one working day) ahead of the promised schedule. I may have been lucky, but I have had five orders from eBuyer over the last 14 months and all have arrived complete and within the promised time. I haven't needed to contact eBuyer customer service though, which by their own admission may require some patience.... Overall Rating

Ordered an Asus A8V motherbard as this has WiFi-g as per ebuyers' description, see below; Item: Asus A8V Deluxe Socket-939 VIA/KT800Pro - ATX Sound Gb-Lan IEEE1394 USB2 800FSB WiFi Retail Box This was not what arrived and complained via their only contact means (eNotes, currently 8 days and counting)that the wifi card is missing. THEIR WEB PAGE DESCRIPTION HAS NOW CHANGED, OMITTING THE WIFI PART, BUT MY ENOTE REMAINS UNANSWERED. Only fly in the ointment but I dislike being ignored. Overall Rating

ebuyer are an interesting company, they have a vast range of computer related items often at very good prices. They seem to be excellent on lower priced items (under £50) and delivery is often earlier than you expect. BUT BEWARE high priced purchases where they can be truly awful. I bought a £500 w/s TFT TV from them and the item delivered was not as specified. They did refund the cost of the item eventually but I had to fight to get the courier cost refunded. Very poor enotes. Overall Rating

i was happy with e-buyer but the carrier did not deliver on nominated day as a result i had no choice but to make purchase elsewhere. However e-buyer dealt quickly and with courtesy to credit my card. if they sorted out carrier i would try purchasing from them. Overall Rating

I am suprised by the amount of negative feedback Ebuyer has been given. I have used them several times over the last year to buy various PC related items, and I have only ever had one problem, which was sorted out to my satisfaction. I recommend Ebuyer to my friends. Overall Rating

Ebuyer prices are great and their delivery usually fast. I had used them for over two years and had been quite happy with their service. However, their returns service is abysmal and after a year I have not had a refund. I ceased using them when I realized their Enotes system was a complete sham and made it impossible for a customer to get grievences resolved. Overall Rating

The product was scheduled to arrive on a Tuesday but actually arrived on the Saturday beforehand! As the product was entirely satisfactory, speed of dealing with problems was not tested on this occasion. Overall Rating

ebuyer promised on their website for delivery of my order in 5 business days, BUT it took 10 working days to arrive. To make things worse they never bothered to keep me updated. The enote is a BIG sham and useless. The customer telephone line is SIMPLY there to MINT money out of customers. You never get to speak to anyone...just the machine. I WOULD NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM EBUYER AND WILL NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE TO BUY PRODUCTS FROM THEIR SITE UNLESS ANYONE LOVES BEING STRESSED. COMPLETELY RUBBISH Overall Rating

The item I ordered was sent with an American mains unit (non UK plug and suitable only for 120 volt mains) I returned it according to their complex returns procedure seven days ago. I have had no acknowledgement of receipt and it is impossible to contact them by phone. I have sent an enote but they state that it takes seven days to action these ! I certainly will not use them again. Overall Rating

I had a very similar experience to those below just before, during and after christmas. The whole experience was a pile of doo doo. It took several WEEKS to return a dodgy motherboard with no way of speaking to a human. The e-notes were unanswered for days. I thought of giving them a second chance but can now see they have done nothing to improve the service. I shall go elsewhere. Overall Rating

nice website, competitive prices, ok provided you don't have a problem like they ship you the wrong item, which it seems they do quite frequently. You just can't get in touch with them & have to wait 7days for enotes, I'm still waiting for refund after 2weeks. When I did get through to their customer services, whilst they werent any help they did say they had about 25 people working flat out on customer services? Yet their customer services is useless - they must be making lots of errors. Overall Rating

Ebuyer have lots of pottential, but they just dont come up to scratch in several areas. The prices are cheap, their website is good easy to navigate, good descriptions and pictures of item. But the problems start after youve ordered the item, they refuse to package items properly! You sometimes end up receiving a battered manufacturers box and a broken product. Then the returns procedure, about 2+ weeks in total, not good enough. sort out the customer service & Package items properly ebuyer!!!! Overall Rating

(Edited October 24th by coolcomp)  As usual ebuyer is the worst online retailer ever. My orders are always late and always wrong. Often second hand items sent instead of new. Dont be temped by cheap prices you will regret it. this is not a one off either, its my last 10 orders with them. Cannot understand why others are giving good feedback, maybe they only order one or two components at a time. If you order any more than that you can be sure the order will be wrong. Or is it ebuyer getting the ratings up? Overall Rating

Ebuyer are the worst, most inefficient supplier int he country. Impossible to contact via phone, e-mail or e-note, and manage to mess up almost every single order! Subsequently I have moved apprx £36k worth of business each year away from Ebuyer and to other companies. I now only deal with them for specific items, whilst i source them elsewhere Overall Rating
