As above, there's plenty of dodgy SSDs on ebay.
Worth looking at crucial - http://uk.crucial.com/gbr/en/storage-info

Wouldn't worry about it - unlike memory, there's (generally) little to get wrong with an SSD. Pretty much any drive will fit any laptop/desktop.

Watch out with Ebuyer, they have their own "version" of Consumer Regulations 2015 and expect you to use Premium rate telephone numbers. A company that should rightfully have expired long ago.
Sadly no....i am considering using the optical drive bay for a 240SSD and keeping the 500 sata in it.
I am not sure how to fit two drives although i know it can be done.
I think i could get a housing for the optical BlueRay and use it Via USB. The one thing i think its impossible to add is USB capability.
Love the fact you can get 1st class delivery for £1.95.
Bit stuck with going through specs. I screen shot the page with 240 and 500 drives on to see which ones people would go for and why?
Or should i go for the 240ssd 30 quid drive from Adata and get a better brand and spec 500 as the price comes down more....choices choices.
I do have a couple of PC's that will benefit from an SSD so the 240 would not be wasted in the future.
Link maybe??
Ah i take it you mean crucial MX500

I'd look a little more into the specs. If i was looking for a general purpose SSD then equal read write speeds would be the order of the day. So it's just as quick reading data as it is writing it.
Some SSD's are biased where they are quicker doing one over the other and are application specific.
