🚨 Alert to all tech enthusiasts and bargain hunters: If you’re scrolling through eBay in search of a shiny Lenovo AIO (All In One Computer) or any Computer for your beloved parents, steer clear of Here’s a little story about my not-so-merry dance with this seller.
📦 The Arrival: Picture this: a computer arrives, and the screen is more cracked than a comedian’s one-liners. I thought it was a prank, but nope, just the first act of this tragicomedy.
📧 Customer Service? More Like Customer Disservice: Trying to get a response from these folks is like waiting for a glacier to text back. Four days minimum for an email reply, and Google’s as clueless as we are—no phone number in sight.
⏱️ The Waiting Game: After a circus of hoop-jumping, I finally get a return label—9 days later! And the refund? Let’s just say eBay had to step in because the seller was too busy counting sheep or something.
💻 The Second Act: The twin arrives, and it’s a 13th Gen i7 with all the trimmings. But wait, it’s slower than a snail on a leisurely stroll, and oh, what’s this? A friendly “Activate Windows” message. How quaint. BTW this seller shipping is slower than cold molasses, literally. I ordered the first and second computers 3 days apart and it tooks 15 Days and 21 Days for the second one to arrive.
🔑 The Key to Nowhere: The seller sends me not one, not two, but three Windows keys, and guess what? They’re as effective as a chocolate teapot. After a full system exorcism, I discover it’s riddled with more viruses than a petri dish in a science lab.
💸 The Cost of Doing Business: My local PC wizard had to step in, waving his magic wand (and a legit Windows key) to banish the gremlins. My wallet’s now $550 lighter, but hey, at least the computer works and most importantly my mother is happy.
🤔 The Big Question: How does this seller a supposed Lenovo Pro Partner, get away with peddling these tech time bombs? And why am I, a seller with a spotless record, also a Lenovo Pro Partner deemed a high-risk persona non grata?
🔍 The Investigation: With over 124,000 items sold and only a fraction of feedback, it’s a mystery worthy of Sherlock. Is this seller a once-reputable merchant turned digital pirate, or was it all smoke and mirrors from the start?
🛠️ DIY Dilemma: Why didn’t I roll up my sleeves and fix the AIO myself, you ask? Because opening a 27" Lenovo AIO (All In One Computer) is riskier than juggling chainsaws. Instead, I refurbished a Dell Precision 7760, and now Dad’s cruising through social media like a boss.
So, dear eBay community, let this be a warning: this seller might just refurbish your faith in the wild west of online shopping. Proceed with caution, and maybe keep your local PC repair guru on speed dial.

It doesn't matter how many items a seller has sold over all. It is their last 12 months worth of feedback that matters, that is what a seller's feedback percentage is based on. That seller's percentage is not a good one for a high volume seller. Unfortunately, in today's world, ebay sellers are lucky to get feedback for 30% of their sales. Did you know that on a feedback profile page you can click on the numbers of neutral and negatives a seller has to read only those comments? My rule of thumb is to add half of the number of neutrals o the negative number to get a true idea of their percentage.

There Most experienced members would only wait a couple of days for a seller to respond to a message, about a not as described item, unless it was sent over a 3 day holiday weekend. Then they would file an item not as described dispute. If the seller did not provide a return shipping label within 3 days, on day four they would ask ebay to step in, and a refund would have been initiated. The Money Back Guarantee (MBG) system is pretty much automated, so there is no reason to call ebay. If you had read the terms and time frames for using the MBG you would have known what to do.
