yes u may use my review, i hope they this website brings this seller to justice : to save you time here it is:
fast memory man at a glance looks like a good seller, at this time he has a feedback score of 187713 and a 98.2% rating.
after you do the math 98.2% of 187713 is 184334, which means 3379 negative feedback!! on average he gets 200 negatives a month
which is terrible. unfortunately eBay only removes members when their feedback score reaches -4 so anyone can have thousands
of negatives and thousands of positives and get away with it without eBay even blinking an eye.
fastmemoryman says that the postage is fast and he is in the UK!!! he is based in America which means an item can take
weeks to arrive if you live over seas. he also packages his items in the most dangerous way possible, for example i ordered
a processor from him once which is a very fragile component, and it arrived wrapped in cardboard!!!!!!! if even one of the
pins were to be broken the processor wouldn't function at all and would be beyond repair meaning i would have to wait about
a month for a response from him and probably 20 years before i received the replacement.
so what ever you do DONT order from or even look at his auctions, DONT recommend him at all, DO burn him alive if you
see him walking down the street!!
Fastmemoryman - risky business!

Just to warn any eBayers that they risk losing their money if they trade with Fastmemoryman (FMM). His feedback rating
is colossal, but around 200 items a month go missing in transit (assuming they are sent in the first place). FMM will reassure
buyers that the item is insured and that once 30 days have passed since the receipt of funds, they will send out forms to
start the insurance claim. Funny then, that buyers following this 'policy' would lose any right to make a claim agianst FMM
through PayPal.
If you're naive enough to follow FMM's instructions, like I was, he'll basically ignore you until the moment you leave
negative feedback for him. At that point, he'll send an email acting all hurt (he did this a massive 90 days after I'd paid
for my item, and after he'd ignored over a dozen emails from me), then just leave a response to the feedback that makes it
look like the buyer is being unreasonable.
Being unable to claim through PayPal for the £95 FMM had stolen from me, I made a claim through eBay itself. This turned
out to be an utter waste of time, I did everything eBay claims asked of me; provided copies of all 14 emails I sent to FMM
as well as proof of payment from PayPal and they didn't even bother replying to me.
I fully expect eBay to pull this guide in short order, but hopefully I can protect a few buyers at least. eBay are unwilling
to act against high-volume sellers like Fastmemoryman, who flagrantly abuse the Feedback Forum to cover up their dirty deeds.
Sellers like this provide too much income for eBay, and they appear to be far more geared towards punishing buyers and protecting
sellers in general.
For anyone who doubts me, I can assure you that, upon leaving negative feedback for FMM, I was contacted by nine other
buyers, all worried that they were being fobbed off and might not get either their item or their money back. Have a look
through his feedback profile if you want more evidence. All the way through, you'll see good, reliable buyers who mysteriously
started acting unreasonably once they bought an item from Fastmemoryman.
I'll reiterate that his prices are good and when the items do arrive, they are in good condition and as described. However,
200 unhappy eBayers a month is too many and people have to be warned. If you want to deal with Fastmemoryman do so, but if
your item doesn't show, don't listen to his excuses and file a claim with PayPal before your 30 days are up. You are well
within your rights to do so, whatever he might say, and you will at least get some of your money back.
