edit: otherwise, all feedback in english is pretty much positive... it's like 97% positive feedback.


yes, i'm a noob to ebay. i dont even have an account. and i think it will close fairly cheaply, because it's a multiple quantity item, and noone's bid on them in the last few days. i've been watching it for awhile....

go find the babel fish site to translate for you. it might not be a perfect translation but it will give you the general idea.
 
Trust me. If you bid on this item the seller will be VERY hesitant of selling it to you. Ebay feedback hmmm nope, registration date on ebay hmmm 3 days, international buyer hmmmm SCREW YOU 😀

Dude....Paypal is the MAIN tool scammers use to rip people off on ebay. It doesn't mean sh!t that you are using paypal. Email this guy tellin him you are serious about it. I would cancel your bid if I was the seller cuz you are too new on ebay.

Tell him that you are new to ebay, but you would really want to bid on his auction. Ask him if that is ok with him. Thats about it. Personally I would buy a MB locally incase something happens. Too much hassle in case there is a problem
 
i just sent this to him:


Hello. I am bidding on one of the mini-itx boards you are selling currently.

I realize I am new to Ebay. In fact, I registered today to bid on this auction, as it was pointed out to me by someone in the forums at mp3car.com. I'm trying to get a good deal so that I may actually afford putting a mp3 server in my car.

You appear to have good feedback, and I look forward to adding to it. Thank you for your time.



i hope he dont cancel my bid....
 
I have 0 feedback on eBay. Should you trust me? Yes. Would you ? Probably not.

It doesn't matter much, does it ?
 
I was just burned on Ebay from a seller who had 65 positive feedback 1 neg at the time. If it sounds too good to be true then it probably is. He accepted paypal only, much easier to screw people over. MO/Cash/Check would require sending it to a real address. This guys ebay and paypal info was fake. His email was also hidden through a 3rd party. I wouldn't chance it.
