A friend wanted to purchase a spare battery for his new video camera. he said that to save cost, he would purchase two more units for two of his friends who are using the same model of digital video camera.
He found a seller selling a compatible battery (not genuine) at a cheaper price on eBay and asked me how to ask the seller a question. So I told him that there is a link to "Ask Seller A Question" but unfortunately, he was not able to proceed because he is not a member of eBay.
I asked him to show me to link to the item and also the questions he would like to ask so that i could do it on his behalf. Before I proceeded to ask the questions, though, I told my friend that these batteries would be shipped from Hong Kong and not USA as he had thought, because the Seller listed his location as USA.
The lesson to learn is that if you are planning to make a purchase online, make sure you know where your item will be shipped from. The difference in shipping could be huge.
