I thought that ebuyer was a good company, I have built a few systems from them and although I did get a few faulty parts everything was in the end sorted out. However they must have had on hell of a Christmas party this year!!!! I order a printer, cables and cartridge on Dec 23rd. Payment was taken immediately but I was not to expect anything until 6th Jan. On the 5th Jan I recieved an enote telling me that the cartridge was out of stock and what did I want to do, I tried ringing them but couldn't and still can't get anything other than an engaged tone, no matter what phone I try ringing off. I sent them an enote asking them to take off the cartridge from the order and ship everything else as I needed the printer urgently, this they said they would do. On the 8th Jan I recieved a small box with my USB & PS2 extension cables - but no bloody printer. I thought I'd give it a day or two before I would again copntact them via enotes, I did this on Mon 12th Jan, but have still had no response. I am not very satisfied at all.

Like I said I was previously satisfied with ebuyer with their cheap prices I was slightly prepared to put up with a less than perfect customers services department but I think that this is the last straw, I would not recommended them to anyone. Boo to ebuyer!!!! James Skipper ...14 January 2004

I have had exactly the same problem with a faulty item. I waited 4 weeks and in the end, I percevered and waited nearly 2 hours on the C/S phone and in the end after telling them what I thought they sent me a replacement the next day. I got no apology from them.

I had parts delivered, including a new processor. After building the system, I find that the processor is not what it was supposed to be; I bought an Athlon XP2100+. Windows System Info and Norton both tell me I have an Athlon XP1500+. I downloaded a utility from AMD to read the CPU and this confirmed I have the wrong processor.

Ebuyer insist I return the processor before they dispatch the replacement. I have pointed out to them that, if I do this, I will no longer be able to communicate with them. Their response was to tell me to use a friend's machine or go to a public library! Not good enough.

I will probably buy the correct processor somewhere else and pursue ebuyer for a refund, plus expenses. Kelvin Davies..3 December 2002

I returned my broken motherboard and memory chip to ebuyer in Oct 2002. I am still awaiting its return/replacement. Luckily (?), Ive had enotes explaining, that yes, the items are broke and yes, the items will be returned in 28 days. Im still waiting and have contacted Trading Standards to see where I stand with this company. After visiting Ebuyerdotcon site, I dont think Im going to have much joy from this company.

I would like to know what Mr Kelvin Davies expects. Surely he doesn't think that any company no matter who they are will send him a new processor before receiving the wrongly sent inferior processor, may i ask Mr Davies where is your old system or processor surely you could use that to converse with them also each processor should have a code on it to be able to identify it are you sure you dont have the front side bus set 100 instead of 133 this would cause the processor to run as a 1500 ie 1.333 clock speed Mr Veitch...28 March 2003

I have also run into this problem with them over faulty goods but my advice is to buy all goods with mastercard as the dealer has to collect within 30 days or the faulty goods are yours to dispose what ever you way you see fit. And within 60 days you will receive a full refund from the card issuer. The good thing about this is you will get a receipt from the courier and you send a copy of this to the card issuer as proof of return,its like everything else in life you only find the good dealers after you have had problems,we could ask the main card issuers to remove their credit status to protect other users interests in this matters.

It was a big mistake buying my computer parts from ebuyer. They shipped inferior keyboard and short shipped speakers set. Both items have been paid for. Enote is a joke, I sent a enote about wrong keyboard and tred to open another enote for short shipped speakers, their system will not allow you to do that, one enote at a time, wited 3 days for their response only to be told that I have to wait 7 working days for their management to make a decision to send me a RMA so I can send the wrong keyboard back and then only God knows how long I will have to wait for the right keyboard bearng in mind I will not ba able to use the computer as I will be wothout a keyboard.

After that I was able to open new enote where I told them about the speakers, I received a reply about 4 days later to be told that it will be delivered that day, did it get delivered that day, heck it didn't. I have tried ringing their customer support only to be told by a voice mail to use the web site for all my enquiries. I have requested to talk to some body in management but that not forthcoming either. All in all I am really disgusted with their services and lack of customer care.

Ebuyers beware! This is a VERY SIMPLIFIED reconstruction of my latest ordeals with this company. Ordered a tape drive from ebuyer.com, received faulty; rma received from ebuyer, tape unit returned to ebuyer, followed by confirmation that drive was indeed faulty.

Enote to ebuyer, and asked for refund as this is now 4 weeks after drive received faulty. Told that a refund will not be given, but a repaired drive will be despatched. Rang credit card company to refund payment to me; informed by them that recent legislation when purchasing online with a credit card means that they can no longer get involved?
Over 3 months fter having received the original faulty drive received a factory repaired replacement. Majority of "enotes" ignored. Unable to contact this company by telephone - queues, or just unobtainable.

2nd Try
ordered 2 pc's (300+ shown as in stock) as part of a larger order. Order received without pc's. Enote ignored.
Go online to find that the 2 pc's ordered are, by ebuyers search engine "discontinued/unobtainable". Confirm that money taken against credit card on same day as order placed.
Another enote ignored. Eventually manage to get ebuyer on phone. Credit card refund agreed.

Complaint:
No effort by ebuyer to arrange credit for unobtainable items (£1000 + value)until i contacted them.

Monies taken out when goods not supplied.

These guys take your money, supply no goods, make it impossible to contact them, ignore "enotes" and now it seems ordering online with your credit card means they can totally ignore the sales of good act! No more ebuyer for me !

So far I hadn't had a problem with ebuyer, Well not until I ordered a motherboard that was short of 4 screws and two cables. So I let them know and asked them to find another box and send them to me They of course insisted that I send the whole package back at my expense and wait another week or so till I get a replacement part.

I would just like to remind or inform the UK that an individual can not sign away their statutory rights US based firms and most of the UK population seem unaware of this. I'm not a lawyer I'm a computing pro but I was trained in law. I have had enough with these American aphiliated firms intimidating the British public. So if anyone is interest in taking court ation, let me know. Ray Campbell ... 2 October 2003

I will not nor would I recommend anyone to purchase anything from Ebuyer.com. They are truly one of the few companies I have dealt with that does not care about the customer. They seem to be only focused on their own profits.I bought a Linksys wireless router from Ebuyer.com and found out that the as advertised distance was not what the company said it was 40 feet verses the advertised 300 feet. I did everything I could to make the router work over a greater distance, even changed the router, only to be disappointed. I would have settled for 100 feet line of sight.

I then got permission to return the router to Ebuyer.com. I returned the router and was charged a 20% restocking fee. I protested, but Ebuyer.com did not care that the router was an inferior product and Linksys had miss lead me. They were only interested in making their money. Their response was that they would contact the company and I would still have to pay the fee.My second problem with this company was when I wanted them to remove me from their mailing. I did not want to get spammed buy any company especially a company I had no intention of ever doing business with again.

I contacted their customer service and they said I would be removed from the list. I contacted them 5 more times and each time they said I was off their list. I even produced their spam only to hear you are off the list the only explanation for this would be either they are a bunch of idiots or they are lying. I had to place them in the spam blocker to get rid of them. . I should have listened to the other bad reviews about this company.

Please do not make the same mistake that I did and try to buy something from ebuyer.com. This company is the pits. I have tried to contact them by telephone and via their stupid e-notes system but there has been no reply. I am still waiting for the parts I ordered although my money was taken weeks ago!

I am trying to communicate with Ebuyer.com (UK). Their enotes are useless and the phone is constantly engaged. Does anyone have a mailing address for them? Steve Miles ... 17 November 2003

The delivery of my hard drive was supposed to be today, 19th of December, but when I checked the courriers tracking number they have it down for the 22nd. Tried to phone Ebuyer but as everyone else has found it is impossible to get in touch on the phone. Have finally managed to contact the courriers, after being on hold forever and a day, and they say that ebuyer changed the pick up to this morning. Thanks a lot ebuyer for contacting me to let me know. It still says 19th on their website. I was reccomended ebuyer by a friend who uses them but I have now told hime not to use ebuyer again and I advise everybody considering using them not to as well.

This cock up is going to cost me a lot of money as my business depends on this hard drive. Tom Lowe ... 19 December 2003
