so i've talked to a few people about buying car stuff off ebay, and some of them said that it's worth it, some said they've been screwed over, but for the most part everyone i talk to has recommended it, except not for body parts....so i'm just wondering what everyones experiences with ebay have been...good? bad?

thx

bought a motorcycle on ebay, wasn't in perfect shape, but ran fine, it was $1200 after all.

the quality of the parts on ebay if its an off brand arent the best but if u cant afford the name brand stuff i'd recommend buying off ebay.. honestly if u get headlights or tail lights i would suggest getting them off ebay cuz its the same stuff just not a name brand but when it comes to performance parts get the name brand stuff

Depends on what you're buying. If it's in-box, you should be in good shape. And always check the ratings for the seller. Use paypall to keep away scams.

yea i have bought a couple things off ebay, not car related though, but i used paypal and i did read their ratings before confirming everything, and so far i've had positive experience

**dre5491** · 01-03-2008, 09:20 PM

i wont buy from them if they have below 95% ratings

even for me that would be a little low...normally i check for their past 6 month history or something and glance through it and see what the negetive or neutral ones are about

I bought something that was MUGEN on ebay... and it came exactly like it was advertised.

Although it was only a keychain, and came in 6 weeks after, everything was fine.

I bought many many things and sold the same. Almost never had a problem.

and the problems you did have..........?

I bought a used HPI RS4 MT (Monster Truck) and when I got it, the motor was blown.

The guy hadn't advertised that in the ebay ad so he was in violation. I was disapointed but he gave me a FULL refund.
