It is supposed to outperform both vista and XP. The bloated size may be because some of it is optional items to install. Why not install it on a virtual PC to test drive it. VirtualBox provide a good one. May only be able to install the 32 bits Windows 7 though.

isnt it obvious?


you do cash on collection

but just mark the payment as recived

that way you save on paypals rip off fees -.-

Of course it is obvious, but you have to offer Paypal for collections, and if a buyer pays by Paypal, you can't refuse it. Obvious yes, allowed, not always! Refund a Paypal payment for a collection, your breaking ebays terms. It really sucks big style. Why on earth ebay are not pulled up over this is beyond me as it is a monopoly situation as ebay own Paypal

Ask the buyer if he would be kind enough to leave you feedback. Once it is left, if the money isn't released within 48 hours, contact Paypal. Unfortunately, you are forced to accept Paypal for collected items, which I totally disagree with. I now don't allow collections for this reason, as it is too easy for chargebacks to be lodged, and unless they sign for the item upon collection, you don't have any proof to back you up. While many people slag Paypal off, I have to say, they generally do offer a good service, although customer services is utterly crap lots of the time.

The partition where the windows recovery isn't usually hidden and you can create recovery disk. The Toshiba has the disk creation as part of the bloatware that is installed as default.

That link will bring up the solutions to the problem, although it defaults to booting from a disk. Just need to get to the installation setup as maverickuk1 said. Should be able to run the repair from there.

You're pretty much in a no-win situation. There are 3 ways they may play this.

1). Chargeback via Paypal.
2). Want a "Discount"
3). Leave everything as is.

The buyer is unlikely to have any negative feedback as sellers where blocked from issuing negative or neutral feedback several months ago. Ebay where going to remove all the negs/neutrals left by sellers also.

If the listing states no returns, the buyer has no rights, except if it was sold on Buy It Now. These items can be covered under the Distance Selling Act (but usually only for business registered users). Rising price auctions are not covered. They are seen as a gamble, and exempt from anything like the DSA.

If they do attempt a chargeback then fight it. The fact that they have left the positive feedback should help you. I have thrown that one at Paypal when someone once claimed not to have received an itemin a chargeback situation, which I won.

I would imagine you had a Special Delivery tracking number when you sent it off. Definately keep that handy.
