thinking of buying alot of performance upgrades and Ebay seems to have the lowest prices on some name brand items....has anyone ever bought anything from Ebay and if so were u satisfied?

my high power taillights i got off ebay,
and i got my cold air intake
a bad amp
a sword lol
movie posters for my friend
my short shifter
and my how to build honda horsepower book

ive only had one problem with ebay and thats because some stupid d-bag didnt pay me for an my amp i was selling for parts grr oo well

thanks for the input...what kinda CAI did u get cuz thats exactly what i was gonna buy first?

I've bought all kinds of stuff from ebay, and the only problem I've had is people not paying. They don't get the item, but I still have to relist it.

i've spent like 2k on ebay...got burned once for $70 on some replacement carpet i ordered

i'm one of those people that don't read b4 i bid and end up winning an item i don't want...so i offer to pay relisting fees...itz usually about $3 and keeps u from getting bad feedback

Just bought a sweet set of KYB shocks on ebay last week. Got here in 3 days, brand new and in perfect shape. Bought new brake drums last month. Billet oil cap and dipstick, rims, and lighter/ashtray console, too. All good stuff.
I always check feedback and even email previous buyers to see if they're still happy with their purchases. Sometimes people don't tell the whole truth in their feedback; you get more honesty in an email.

i would like to thank all of you for your feedback..its making my decision to buy things from ebay alot easier...im planing on buying a cold air intake and a cat back exhaust first...any suggestions on what kind or who to buy from?

Just check thir feedback carefully! There are alot of good sellers, and alot of crooks there!

my cold ait intake os from nextechnology, i never even heard of it, it didnt even say it on the auction, but it was a total of 44 bucks and its nice looking, i just got ripped off on install, because i couldnt get my bumper off before, now i can yay

I never had any problems with car stuff. When i had a 2000 mustang, however, i remember several scams that happened to v6power.net board members. It DOES happen. My friend recently got taken for a little over a grand for some wheels and tires that never showed up. Apparently, after selling a hundred and twenty or so items with flawless reviews, this asshole decided it was time to sell the same set of wheels to 7 different people, and jet with the money.

If it's stuff over a certain level, definately use escrow. Otherwise, cross your fingers, say your prayers, and good luck.

ebay is really good. i buy ALL my parts from there:
aem cold air intake, TSUDO catback, TSUDO header, MSD ignition, plugs, wires, blaster coil, springs, shocks, etc. damn i should be sponsered by ebay! lol
i've only had one bad incident with ebay. i paid for a gauge pod but the guy said he never recieved the payment, so i sent another one and he still said he never recieved it. bastards!!!!

just make sure u check there feedback. i only buy from people with over 100 positive feedback.

if u want to buy ur exhaust, go get it from the guy i baught mine from. he's reallllly cool and he'll give u deals. i got my TSUDO N1 catback from him for $250 shipped and headers for $155 shipped. Im very happy with both items. they give a nice deep throaty sound to the car, not a lame high pitch coffee can sound.
His ebay id is "nissangtrpower" and his aol instant messenger sn is "TOPEBAYSELLER888"

good luck

I have bought a lot of stuff from ebay. Hell half of the stuff on my car is from ebay. I have just had problems with stuff I have sold. Just sold a complete turbo kit for 92-00 civic and the a-hole still hasen't payed or got in contact with me...
