Re: what to look for when buying from ebay?

Defintly the guys seller rating bout why buy them when u can get your own and print them off and custom them yourself. I can show u some custom ones i've already made for my stealth so i have them when i get it.

Definitely the seller's rating, but also read the feedback to see about shipping, response quickness, etc. Check to see if people generally write "product as described" in their feedback. I am going to get gauges also, a boost gauge and AF ratio gauge as soon as I find some to my liking. What kind of gauges are you after?

Make sure they have a good seller percentage...and that these are reviews based on them being sellers, not buyers. Also check the number, not just the percentage..as someone could have sold 1 thing and have 100% seller review.

Also check the payment options beforehand. Make sure he/she accepts the method you intend to use. Generally, I use Paypal, but that is another account you have to set up as well, and paypal has gotten mixed reviews. (They are in the midst of a very large class action suit with many of their users...so some are skeptical about using them. They have never screwed me, but take that for what it's worth).

Also check the sellers shipping info...make sure that they ship to your area (if you are out of continental USA) and also make sure they aren't raping you with outlandish shipping charges. I think that is about it. Generally, it is good form to leave feedback for the other person involved, once you recieve the item and every aspect of the transaction is complete.

Re: what to look for when buying from ebay?

They kinda act like a middle man between banks. You sign up give them your account number and stuff don't worry they are secure and it there is ever a problem they will 9/10 refund the money. But u say ok make this amoutn my money go to this guys bank account. and that basically it.

Re: what to look for when buying from ebay?

Speaking of ebay, I have this steering wheel that I got for christmas, nothing to my liking , you all know how it is.. lol and I want to sell this on ebay. Although , if someone here might want to buy it.. that's cool. What do you think of a price..? It's brand new.. and I just took it out of the package.. Tell me what you think.
