    Alright. I have bought a "New." SSD off eBay without doing any research first. Don't ask me why i did it. When i should of know better. Never to buy any hardware off eBay. The sell has %100 positive Feedbacks. When SSD has arrived. Upon testing it the read and write were about 3GB. Also the package was never open, also the label is glued on top of another, and it was washed-up. WTF?!

    Surely you can file a complaint with eBay. I buy all my hardware from eBay becuase of the low prices. I purchased my SSD from there and also buy hard drives from there.

    I purchased a used hard drive a while ago which did not pass SMART testing, and was able to send it back to the seller and get a full refund. Also a used laptop I purchased had issues with overheating and the hard drive did not pass SMART testing and I was once again able to get a full refund. But, apart from these two instances, on the whole I haven't any issues with products I've purcahsed from eBay.
