Want to buy this S9 from ebay

[Vanquish_PT]

Hi

Anyone here bought a miner from this ebay seller?

I've been monitoring his previous sales and he keeps getting great feedbacks. 

Currently he has one listing for miners in Louisville, KY and another in Germany.

I'd be interested in the Germany listing since I live in EU and it already cleared customs in EU.

Probably some member of this forum already bought from this seller and I'd like to know some advice since I'm planning to pay with btc.

I already talked with the seller by email and he insisted that I pickup the miners in person but flights to Germany and at least 1 night in a hotel won't make this such a good deal.

Just pay by Paypal and you got Buyer Protection incase its broken or damaged.

Paypal has fees so the seller asks more when paying by paypal. Besides I don't like paypal 

Like I said I've been monitoring his sales and feedback for some time

Some past sales

The eBay listing I just looked at for him (one where he's selling 10 units) he's offering free shipping. The only thing you would be risking if you use a credit card and/or PayPal is the return shipping if they turn out to have issues. The reviews seem very good though. The problem is I know if you return something you don't get to right a review. It really biases the reviews. If someone had a negative experience and returned them you would never see a negative review unfortunately.

Either way use a credit card or PayPal. The fees are your insurance premiums .

Currently the listings up for sale are for 8 units but I only want 3 or 4.

I’m trying to strike a deal for 4.2 or 4.3 max for the 4 but it seems that these units are already sold.

You can leave feedback immediately after the auction ends and even if the sale is canceled later the comment will be there unless it's removed by ebay for violating any feedback rule.

Maybe it's just me being overzealous with my negative feedback then because I've left 3 or 4 negatives in my lifetime and all of them were deleted the second I got my refund. Either way, make sure you buy them with something where you can charge back if need be.

its also a violation of ebays policy for someone to request you pay in any way other then PayPal so I personally would avoid buying from anyone who clearly tries to violate ebays policies by suggesting a payment in BTC
AS others have said make sure to use PayPal and pay with a Credit Card for extra security

Of course it's a violation because ebay doesn't get any fees.

But I'm fine with ebay/paypal not getting any fees

Contacted this seller and he's sold out but claims new stock is on the way.
