Would you buy ? why not?

Question

if you use e bay would you buy somethink from hong kong ? yes / no/may and if no why not?

Answer 1

It would depend on a few things.  If I needed it quickly, I'd try for something closer to me first.  If there was no rush, and the seller had good feedback, I would have no problem buying it from hong kong.  

Answer 2

I have purchased items from all over the world.  Even items sold in Canada/US have likely been made in developing countries if they're massed produced.

Answer 3

I have bought worldwide in the past, but not much at all in the last couple of years.  In the 90's (before Paypal), I used to send cash overseas and never even had a problem with that.  However, eBay's gotten a lot bigger now.  Still, scammers aren't going to stick around building up feedback only to blow it on a few transactions, no matter where they're from.  Even some Republicans can be trusted.  :)

Answer 4

Some of the Hong Kong sellers are apparently quite legitimate. If they don't deliver, ebay will get rid of them. If ratings are high it is probably a good company.

Having said that, since most things can be bought from in-country I prefer to do that or buy from a local shop. I like the idea of being close to the seller geographically to recieve the merchandise faster. Unless buying in person.

Answer 5

Yes, why not.

Use the secure pay point called Pay Pal, otherwise forget it.

Most decent goods are now bought from the USA.

Answer 6

No i wouldn't i only buy within the UK, only because if im on ebay im looking fora good deal and not a cheap product with high shipping costs also i prefer UK branded products for most things and don't buy any clothes or shoes that aren't shop branded, i know the quality of the items by the shop.

Answer 7

I'd be a little sceptical what if it turns out something damaged or not to my liking.

Answer 8

I have used ebay but I haven't bought anything from hong kong.  I think the only reason I haven't is because typically it is more expensive to get it shipped here from there and you can typically find the same thing in the states and the shipping is cheaper.  If I did come across something I wanted and it was cheaper even with shipping I would go ahead and buy it from Hong Kong, why not.  

Answer 9

hong kong ...its normally alright to order from there...can take 14 days to come

Answer 10

No.  The shipping from overseas is way more expensive, & it may be hard to communicate if there's a problem.

Answer 11

Yes, i have done many times and all has been ok!!

Answer 12

yeah i have i am buying something from there tonight it better not be my DS touch pen:-S

Answer 13

Depends entirely on feedback - I've bought a few things from HK, usually very good & really quick delivery (quicker than stuff sent from the UK at the same time!)

Answer 14

I would, and have.  Just be aware that you may or may not be getting a legitimate product.  There is a lot of p****y in Hong Kong.  If the price is a little too good to be true, it's probably not an entirely legal product (especially where DVDs and CDs are concerned).
