I found a great deal on RAM from a Newegg seller account on eBay. At first I wondered whether it could be a scam, but the account has thousands of positive reviews and appears to have eBay's top-rated seller status. Has anyone bought PC hardware from Newegg through eBay, and is it generally safe? I'm especially concerned about receiving genuine parts and getting warranty or return support if something fails.

Buying directly from Newegg may be better for warranty and return support. A failed power supply bought through their eBay store can sometimes lead to being redirected to the manufacturer, making the RMA process much slower. eBay listings may also cost a little more, depending on the promotion or payment method.
It should be genuine, especially if the listing is clearly from Newegg rather than a third-party marketplace seller. Check the exact seller name, return terms, shipping location, and whether the item is new or refurbished. Some of the best deals may sell out quickly.
Newegg has operated an eBay storefront for years, and the account is generally legitimate. They also sell through other major marketplaces, so the eBay store is just another sales channel. Still, verify that the seller is the official Newegg account before ordering.
