Hi, i had this experience with ebay, i dont like to be a test subject :
Looking for rare chips.
Located cheapest in china.
I looked further, in Taiwan selling the same for a bit more ( and a different color text paint ).
I like Taiwan quality, so i order them from Taiwan ( less chance to have fakes ).
I got my chips, everything was good.
Then i saw the dutch news, it was saying :
Research shows people willing to pay more for taiwanese products if they can buy the same in china.
As usual with the dutch NPO news they dont tell the whole story, where this research is from.
Then i decided to order more of these parts, i looked into "my ebay", searched for the order so i can order the same again.
Then i see the seller is located in china and the price is cheaper, i am 100% sure i ordered from Taiwan.
Ordering again from china, since no one in Taiwan sells these chips.
So i am used as test subject by ebay, i really dont like it, who can you trust ?, not ebay, facebook, or google with the psychological test they do on people.
If there is a market for these test microsoft will follow for sure, i hope not.
Where did the extra money go ?, is paypal also involved ?
What do you think of that ?, please leave a comment.
bye
