What in the world are they doing?! After reading feedback, they aren't really selling all of those laptops. Most are positive feedbacks required for the refund +$100 compensation. I only read the first three pages and almost all had delivery problems. They seem to come through on the customer service, but at $100 a pop! I think I would have to rethink my business plan if I was shelling out that kind of refunds left and right, on top of the eBay fees. They also won't accept credit cards. Only checks, money orders, and Bidpay. There is NO WAY I would spend that kind of money and not have a chance for recourse if there is a problem. You also have to wait 30 days for the item.

I would not bid. Not a chance.

Am I reading right that they are offering money for positive feedback even when the item cannot be delivered???? I thought that was against Ebay rules somewhere. What a racket!! Not on your life.

Come through ??....The positives on great customer service are a MANDATORY requirement for a PROMISE of getting your money back +$100.

In my most scheming imagination I can't figure out what the point of all of that work
will be? To rack up positive feedback ot use for later scams? OK..... so you bid, you win, you
PAY, you get nothing, you receive a refund ( or not) plus $100.00 if you leave positive
feedback? I JUST DON'T GET IT??!?!?!? I guess the same bidders who don't bother to
read the terms of any auction also won't bother to read this guys feedback...Hmm...it
LOOKS good, if ya don't bother reading anything!

Not even Santa Claus goes around promising to hand out $100 bills like this.
The jury is still in deliberation. I'll just keep an eye on the devlopments

Poitive feedback plus getting people to wait the neccesary 30 days via PayPal then they are home free financially (just not legally)

Oh, OK then, I guess I can say in all honesty that I am not a very good schemer!
So technically the Doo Doo has'nt really hit the fan yet as the worst is yet to come?

Actually..if you notice..two different ID's post the same feedback..word for word. I think this seller is "buying" his own things with different ID's and trying to make it look like he is a great seller. And...all the odd feedbacks are private??!!
