Default What Do You Prefer, cheapest or best service?

Hi All,

When looking to buy something online or ebay what do you tend to go for?

Do you go for the cheapest items or the listing which looks more professional and offers good service?I unfortunately cant offer the best price so is it highly recommended getting good looking listings etc.

Best Regards

I usually buy from the sellers with 100% feedback.

Where there is no seller with 100% feedback, then I read through the feedback (why neg) and how the seller responded to neg.

I look at professionalism. If there are two identical items. one with billy basics listing description, and the other with a professional looking description, all grammar is correct, with a nice layout. I will tend to go with the professional listing.

Of course, price does come into it at some point. Feedback is also important.

So if you had to choose between these 3 which one would you pick?

1.http://shop.ebay.co.uk/i.html?LH_BIN...=p3286.c0.m282

2.http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FIFA-10-PS3-Ne...item2c511747a6

3.http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PS3-Fifa-10-Ne...d=p3286.c0.m14

The second link looks ok but says things like "by purchasing this item you agree to our terms and conditions" Which i cant seem to find and even if i did it would not make a diffrence as i am bound by eBays t&c's not the sellers as such.

The third one is a right mess.

So personally NONE

I look at the item with the most detailed item description - Im not sure why but I like to know everything about the product before i buy it, especially little facts etc. Although sometimes I do go for the cheapest price depending on the product., e.g new bulbs for my car lol

Agree With PcDropship, second one is probably the best looking but in terms of content the lack of the t's & c's is a worry.

The second states:

Quote:
You can find our terms and conditions on our shop homepage.
Which is available here:

http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/GAMEVA...onditions.html

I would go for the second one because of their feedback number, listing and feedback percentage.

When I shop on eBay for cheap, un-branded stuff, I always sort by "Highest Price First" as I don't want to browse through all that pound shop trash, low quality items.
