i didnt **** any company off, my argument with them was that i refused to do business with them while they used ParcelForce to do all their deliveries and it was at least 3 or 4years before the whole rumor or news about the RMAs came out but I had stuck to my guns and not bought anything from them since and till today I still haven't though they might of switched to using another delivery company quite a few times by now.
I read the article posted about their RMA dept and judging how quickly ebuyer or their PR team jumped up to defend and explain themselves as well as denying the context that the rest of the internet seemed to have taken when they saw this picture...
It leads me to think that they were caught with their pants down like a deer in the headlights.
While my RMAs before the whole 'scandal' went smoothly. I know quite a few people closer to the time of the news article who didnt have such a smooth experience with them.
The only people who will defend ebuyer is their PR team or employees

I RMA'd a dead SSD under warranty. They refused to replace it (the same model was available but had gone up significantly in price) and deducted 30% from the refund of the original purchase price for "wear and tear" so to replace the thing I would end up paying almost double what I originally paid. When I refused and told them to send it back to me so I could deal with the manufacturer they said that wasn't possible as they had already destroyed it.
Not the actions of a company I'll ever do business with again.

I never go burned by ebuyer RMA dept. my issue with them is they decided to switch to using ParcelForce for deliveries and i absolutely loathe them.
problems with the RMA dept didnt arise till a few years after that when i think i heard the size of staff bonuses depended on how many RMAs they reject.
For anyone interested in this SSD.... Its SLOOOOOWWWWWWW i think its 260mb/s write and 500mb/s read.... even a Samsung 830 evo from a few years back outperforms this SSD.
Not the end of the world, but its something to take into consideration if you regularly write a load of files.

They are the ONE internet retailer I still avoid, not a very exciting story, but unprofessional and shocking customer service, in a nutshell. And I bought from them quite happily until I had an issue.
meh deal. Only £5 off standard price. I'd recommend spending an extra £10 to get something that has resale value, slightly better performance & sold by a trusted brand.

resale value? its a flippin SSD not a Ford Fiesta. you dont resell hard drives! you just keep adding more, you back them up to a massive HDD regularly and you run them till they are dead. if you are on a laptop you don't buy cheap, you buy once, you imagine a size you will never fill and then double it then buy that one.
SSD is not following the normal trends for size, price, and time I bought my 1st before 2012 (120gb) and a similar spec (speed and capacity) one now costs more than I paid, my 240gb was the same price as this 2 years ago. my 256gb was £80 last year.
there is no benefit either way to reselling, if you need bigger you either bought too small the 1st time or you add to it in a desktop.
