Default Ebay

Hello all

I just wondering if you guys would buy from Ebay or other auction sites such as Yahoo. It would be cheaper in those auctions sites, but I don't know if the seller in there is reliable source or not. I just want some opinions if you would buy from auctions sites??? Thank you

I've bought a lot off of Ebay. I have been burned before, but overall good experiences. My advice, don't buy from anyone that seems to be new (very little feedback).

ebay is good as long as the seller is legit with good feedback.

Skip yahoo completely because everyone there is out to scam you!!!

I've sold LOTS of stuff on ebay and luckily have had all good buyers. I've bought a couple things and had no trouble, but know some people who have. Use common sense and check their feedback. You can usually judge whether or not they are legit that way. Watch for negative feedback. Screw Yahoo. Leave it alone.

i sell and buy alot off of ebay and it has worked for me thus far. though however i do have a neg. feedback from one of my purchases i got deployed and i had more important things going on and forgot about the payment. so not everyone with neg. feedback is bad. i would just watch out for those deals that sound to good to be true.

my friend bought a NEW turbo kit for his civic ls motor and it seemed to good to be true well needless to say he never got the kit and never got his money back either. so he turned him in and it turns out that the dude did this to many others and there is an investigation and now his money is being held as evidence and this has been over a year ago and he is still out that money

what i am trying to say is you just cant go out there and buy something that is a "to good to be true bargin" cause it more than likely is

I use ebay for the hard-to-get stuff.

I'm currently the highest bidder on some JDM EK sidemarkers
