Help worried 1st time ebayer

[sonneti]

How many feedbacks does the guy have?

Would you not be better off buying a laptop from someone in europe?

Call you credit card company and ask them to up your limit for this one off purchase, if you have a decent record with them they should be ok.

Definately pay with paypal as you get some protection, paypal generally side with the customer if there are any issues aswell [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I sell and buy on ebay all the time. He already stated he would accept a wire transfer, iirc the only other data you need besides the account number is the bank name and routing number.

Sometimes people don't respond quickly or their computers are down.... 8 hours without a response isn't that out of line. Also, you might be one of many customers and this is urgent for you, but not as urgent for him. You haven't sent any money, I wouldn't worry about it just yet.

ETA: the worst that can happen is that you wire him the money and you don't get the computer
