Should I buy this Macbook from ebay?

Question

macbook

Hi all!
I want to buy a Mac off Ebay and I'm afraid they might scam me. Tell me which one to choose and how best to buy expensive equipment from Ebay (how to deliver, what to do if you were deceived. And pitfalls). I look forward to the help of the friendliest community.
Here are models to choose from:
MacBook Air 13 Mid 2013 MD760LL/A 1.4GHz i5 8GB 25...
Apple MacBook Pro Retina 2013 13 inch 512 gb 2.6gh...
Apple MacBook Air, 2015, 13.3 Zoll, 8GB RAM, Intel.. .

Answer 1

Yes, everything is fine with a purchase on Ebay if the seller is ready to send the goods to your country (without intermediaries in the form of services a la Parcel). They have a guaranteed money back program.
Used it myself a few times. The first time I ordered a lot of Kodak photo paper, they sent some cheap fake in Kodak boxes (which were obviously obtained in some kind of garbage cans). I opened a dispute, painted everything beautifully, attached a photo of the original paper and the one that I sent. They returned the money and did not even ask to send the goods back.
The second time I ordered Ray Ban glasses, they did not reach, I wrote to the seller and he returned the money.
True, their rules say that in the case of a return of goods, sending it back is at the expense of the buyer, and this can be quite expensive. But buying from sellers with a high rating greatly minimizes the chance of problem situations.

As far as I'm concerned, it's a bad idea. We did not notice to a friend during a personal meeting with the seller that the keyboard was flooded. At the same time, they tested everything, even launched the Eplov utility for checking errors for hardware ... As a result, the macbook began to cut down after 2 weeks :(
Such equipment needs to be checked and tested and you will have to choose from used ones from several pieces, especially if the budget is understated. To besides, what is the limit at the post office now? you won’t have to pay another tax? And it doesn’t depend on whether you send it back or not, this money will not be returned!
Besides, I would not advise Air as a laptop in principle, there is a TN matrix It's the most disliked device from Apple, it goes even after the magic mouse 2, which can not be used while charging) So the Macbook Pro will be heaven and earth compared to Air.

Well, the most obvious thing is to add at the end of your script:
