I have had good experience shopping with Itdepot (baught stuff like mobo, ram, procy, etc.) and the service was really good. Only bad is tht their prices on the site are recently not updated.

I don't think so. Ebay can't be trusted as it depends on the seller, you don't know anything about seller.

Depends. I have done a lot of Ebay transactions are fine. Though I do not go above 5K.

While using eBay it is best to go with Rating. Sellers with 100% rating are the one to go with.
BTW there are more online shops:
Techshop.in
yantraonline.in
mediahome.in
anythinginit.in

Haven't heard any negative ratings for them (except anythinginit.in for which I havent got any review)...So I think one should just compare the prices and go for it...

They have a consumer court. As a rule just deal with dealers who have high +ve ratings.

That could take days of trouble for the buyer!

What about other sites?

That is how most online portals work. If their is a dispute/RMA stuff has to be shipped back. It in of course not like a brick-mortar shop where queries and concerns are handled ad-hoc.

I dont think ITDepot is a good IT etailer. How can you buy components when you know that the prices they have quoted is outdated? Do you just pay the older price? I dont understand.

I heard bitfang cheated the guy who designed everything of the site :p. No idea about the service and sales although they do have this big billboard opposite Juhu Chowpathi with all major brand names.

ITDepot- yeah I heard a lot of good stuff about them. SMC International seem to be the only choice for Delhi folks. In Mumbai, Prime is there- but now I am looking for an alternate store. No to itwares, lynx, anythinginIT, etc.

Also, I had bad experience with SMC with regards to Model Nos and product availability... confirm the model no. and availability atleast 5 times over the fone before you place the order.

I confirmed this over the email and phone for atleast 3 times and sent a friend to buy the product (as i dint trust them for a bank transfer)... and they denied availabilty at the last moment.... and I had to settle down for an alternative...

@Mike, Thanks.
@desai, Same happened with me too :(, I ordered a Razer Sphex Mice Pad, it was available, did the Bank transfer, after 2 days I got an e-mail if I want to buy other product or take refund. I choose refund, but that darn refund process took a complete week.
