    Default Ebay??????

    uh...i'm not sure if i got this in the right place or not. what i want to know is has anybody on this site had really fucked up experances when buying parts off ebay? i've never bought parts off ebay or know anybody that has but i found a set of fake ctr headlights for $45 and can't find them anywhere else. is this ebay shit safe or is somebody gonna go to france with my card number? if i got this in the wrong place can one of the mods move it for me! thanks for any experances u can share with me about ebay cause i don't know what to think about it.

    If you use paypal then you should be good. I have ordered parts off of ebay 4 or 5 imes and have never had any problems. The only problem I had was one guy shipped a part like 2 weeks after I had paid for it but other than that I havent had any problems.

    no this isnt the rite spot, but they'll move it!
    first get a paypal account, then when you are looking around for an item dont just look at the price there name and percent of good feedback is there for a reason!
    Me myself personaly i never buy from ne one with a 300 down sells i want to know they have been doing buisness for a while!
    Click there name and read there feedback if you see a negitive then click on the item number and if thats ur item and the person that bout it neva got it. you mite have a prob!

    If you have ne ques PM me!

    Ebay is pretty safe.. Just pay through paypal and you should be covered... And ebay is pretty good about covering you if you end up getting screwed over but thats never happened to me so I wouldn't know first hand...

    yeh, I try to only buy "buy it now" merchandises and use only paypal. Paypal in my opinion is pretty safe, shit for $45 go for it man, or just DIY.

    You'll be fine on ebay. Just make sure to pay via credit card or paypal. So if anything does happen, you can do a "Chargeback". Doin that has saved my ass many times over in the past

    i order a lot of stuff off ebay. the key is to watch who you buy from look at feedback and other stuff. if a payer has something really cheap and he wont take anything paypal or checks or anything to cover you dont mess with them.. any questions on ebay feel free to pm me

    I also use the hell out of Craigs list to sell large items. Its so fast to sell things on there. Most have gone within 10-15 minutes of listing!
