Because we strive to keep you on the cutting edge of laptops and computing, we’re proud to tell you about a brand-new store that just opened on eBay. The name of the store is Laptop Universe, and they sell a wide range of laptop models as well as other consumer electronics.

The New Laptop Universe eBay Shop

We know, there are a ton of eBay stores that sell the same things all across the UK. And quite frankly, a lot of the stuff they sell is downright garbage. But we think you’ll have a different experience if you shop with Laptop Universe. What makes them so special, you ask? Their prices. Whether you’re looking for a new, second-hand, or refurbished computer Laptop Universe has prices that are tough to beat.

Laptop Universe intends to be around for a long time. They are not in business is simply to make a quick buck and then fade away like so many others. Therefore, they don’t mind making little less with every transaction while still providing excellent customer service. They intend to be profitable through volume rather than jacking the price for short-term gain.

Examples of what’s currently available at the store include a brand-new Dell Inspiron M5030 with Windows 7 at a starting bid of just £180. In the refurbished department you’ll find a Vista-based Sony VGN-N250E (Vaio) with a 15.6″display for just £145. On both of these laptops shipping is just £9.99 within the UK. Similar prices can be found on personal computers, printers, displays, mobile phones, and even tablets.

If you’re already set up with an eBay account and PayPal, shopping with Laptop Universe couldn’t be any easier. They are a PayPal Preferred vendor which allows you to pay from your own PayPal account or use any number of major credit cards. Once payment has been received and cleared, Laptop Universe will generally ship within two days.
