    Ok, I want to know what are your experience of Ebuyer, as I plan to order from them soon (please refrain from suggesting other places).

    Also, the question is: Do Ebuyer ship all of your order seperately? Or together in one large box?

    I have ordered 4 PC components (Motherboard, GPU, PSU and RAM). They arrived in 2 boxes for me.

    Did they all arrive at the exact same time? What is customer service like?

    Haven't used their customer service, but I've ordered from them about 3 times. Very fast delivery. I ordered at something like 8-9 o'clock and was sent an email 20 minutes later saying my order was dispatched. Another time I didn't get the email*; I still got the delivery soon. Do they go to sleep at all?
    Their prices fluctuate quite a bit -just something to watch for. Sometimes quite a lot between days.

    Another thing is that you have to use google checkout, unless you have an English credit card and/or address.

    *I did actually get the email 6 months after I had got the items. Hmmm...:confused:

    Oh that's good, I don't think they had paypal when I ordered from them. I don't like paypal that much, but google really don't need any more of my details!

    Thanks, and I agree about Google, they already have enough of my parents and I's details.

    Can anyone who has bought through Paypal with Ebuyer tell me what it is like?

    Thanks, now I just need to know what buying with Paypal from them is like, I don't think my parents would want to set up a Google Checkout account.

    Paypal doesn't work, I've tried it many times and it always fails unfortunately. I contacted eBuyer about it and they refuse to accept there is a problem.

    What exactly do you mean? You simply go through the checkout process with ebuyer and it should direct you to a paypal link(as the paypment stage of the order) which you log into your paypal account, then follow the prompts(confirm the money ebuyer will receive) and then confirm the order. That should be it; no reason why it would be any different.

    You probably never used paypal to buy something have you? Do you have an account?:)

    Out of curiosity, is the email for your paypal the same email registered with the ebuyer account?

    Actually, I have several times, both with my own account and with my parent's (with their permission of course).
    I was asking did Paypal work on their site yet, as I've not heard much good about it.
