I made the mistake once about 5yrs ago and purchased a butt load of computer parts from a seller who had just 1 feedback (we all need to start some where). Well the goods looked good, but the picture was taking at a distance, so that in the end made it look better than what it turned out to be. Well anyway I forgot to check the shipping cost and bought the stuff. Well the shipping cost me $60 and when I got the goods about 95 percent of the stuff was garbage (broken, mislabeled etc..) So they ended up in the trash and I was out $100. I later learned after filling a complaint with eBay that not long after my purchase, he received 6 including mine negative feedback for selling garbage stuff, but advertising they were of good quality. Needless to say he was banned from eBay. A sellers feedback is a very important piece of puzzle when buying or selling on Ebay.

A simple repair install of the OS will not permanently erase anything. How would you recommend wiping the HDD of all data before selling it?
