Should I trust ebay?

Post by link343 »

I need to buy a new a batter for my Dell Laptop. Dell is charging about $200 for a brand new battery! Very outrageous IMO. I found some sellers on ebay selling them for about $60 with free shipping. Should I trust them? They are also offering a one-year warranty on it.

Here is a link:

If I were in your shoes, I'd go for it. What's not to trust? :?

Its not shipping from Hong Kong and looks legit, you shouldn't have any problems. I mean really if a Dell Laptop Battery alone was $200, I don't see how they could possibly sell a full laptop for $400-$600. Shit I broke the screen on my Toshiba and that alone was $600 to replace...so yeah, in short, buy the battery.

Yeah, most of the places are pretty good. That's the only place I really look. That and maybe Amazon.
Other than checking their feedback, I'd see what their return policy is.

Thanks for the responses guys. I've checked some of the sellers. Most of them are good. So, I'll provably buy one soon from one of them.

Could someone close this topic? Thanks.
