I bid on a computer from Ubid 2 months back and won the bid. It was for a Gateway 'mini tower' computer. I received a Gateway 'desktop' computer instead. When I contacted them about this, I was told to send it back for a refund and that I would have to pay for the shipping! Well, the computer they sent was internally the same as the one I had ordered, just in a desktop format, so I decided to keep it. When I opened the sealed box, the #2 restore disc was missing. I contacted Ubid about this but I was told I should contact Gateway. Gateway said that since it was not purchased directly from them and that it was a refurbished unit, the seller would have to give me the disc. I contacted Ubid again and was told that I would have to supply them with my order number, lot number, date of purchase, etc. And a lot of other useless (in my opinion) information and without this they could do nothing. I do not have all of that info. I think that with my full name, address, phone number and site log on name they should be able to pull up all my info.
To end a long story, I now have a computer that I cannot restore and as you all know that without restore disc (s), you have problems!
