Ordering things off Ebay? - Lyssa - 04-08-2014 08:26 PM

I was looking at a camera on Ebay. Its originally about 400 dollars but the one I found is 300. Why is it so much cheaper on here? The person has over 50 cameras for sale(all the same). I was reading reviews, and everyone said it was perfect and cheap and comes just as shown. I'm really nervous about ordering it.

The seller most likely gets the stuff at wholesale price and doesn't have overhead costs so he can afford to sell it for far less than a store

it could be used or have a defect or he knows the company so hes gets a better deal just guessing don't take my word

Ask questions to the seller but I dont buy expensive things off ebay.
Because off the warrenty..
Or incase I recive it and its not as described.

It may be cheaper because another country? Make sure you check postage?

Or they can be cheaper because they buy it in bulk and get discounts or they even may be there own shop

The seller is most likely a distributor who drop ships direct to the end consumer. If the seller is a Top Rated Seller, then you can go ahead and purchase it. As long as it ships from USA, you do not have to worry about counterfeit product . eBay has protection against counterfeit products, you have nothing to worry about
