buying used parts from ebay

[y2icon]

anyone have horror stories from buying online?

[blindeyed]

Nope, can't say that I have. Well except when I tried buying a watch from a guy who was using Andale as a payment method. Well, stupid Andale wouldn't let me pay and the guy filed a non paying bidder charge against me, despite the multiple times I e-mailed the guy telling him it wouldn't let me pay and he just kept on sending me the same link telling me to pay there. In the end, I disputed the non paying bidder charge against me and eBay reviewed it and took the charge off of me. So, it was all good in the end. That's the only bad situation I've been in. But you can pretty much avoid having a bad experience with a seller if you just check their feedback and see if they have an outstanding amount of negative feedback.

No horror stories because I wouldn't buy any used parts off someone I don't know.

even if the feedback is 100% with over 100 feedbacks? i dont think someone would ruin a perfect track record or a small part then again u never know nowadays

ebay now has this deal through paypal where for an extra few dollars if the product isnt what the sell said or isnt what you expected in any way you will get your money back..... cant go wrong really..... i sell car parts on there alll the time.... you just have to know what your buying and scope it all out....

and if you're ever in doubt, just ask here on the forum and we'll all look into it ourselves and give you opinions.

just remember... you can never ask the guy too many questions...

hahaha no... I don't sell parts like that... I sell the old parts from my car and then I upgrade..... example would be my injectors... i sold my stock 24# for 100... bought slp 25# for 100... now i just bought ford svo 30# for 100 and so im going to sell my 25#....

Have you atleast checked junkyards dude? I know where I go to there's alot of broken down third gens.. so maybe.

Well.............
I've bought quite a lot of Camaro parts off of Ebay (thousands of dollars worth) and never had a problem until i ran up on a seller by the name of James Blackburn he is in Tampa FL and sells under the name of "Thirdgenparts" on ebay.
eventhough they have a rating of 99% positive...........Unless you want your Anus to become mysteriously enlarged I would highly recommend steering away from that Jerk

Other than that there are some really nice folks to deal with and i have gotten good useable parts that were worth the $$ spent.


If you are in search of a wiring harness have you checked Painless Wiring to see if they have something for your application?

Ebays good, for used parts id be careful, just look at the ratings, anything less than 100%, id reccomend not bidding.
