I would trust Ebay before I trust those sites, and I never buy computer stuff off Ebay.

past experiences with Chinese websites are hit or miss

some are scams
some are legit
some are legit but the customer service is absolutely horrible

if u do go this route, make sure u use a credit card / not a debit card, but a credit card which provides some level of protection

Wife of my friend ordered Tebow jersey from one of those Chinese site for her hubby's surprise gift. Ended up with childish cheap fake with bunch of Chinese characters on it. Better buy from eBay, or search for Newegg shell shocker.

By the way, eBay is not that bad, if you deal with people of good reputation. Many people who are not a real merchant dump their extra stuffs there, like I do. Since I realized that people don't bid when no return is allowed, I now add that option, although nobody asked for it.
