I've had good and bad experiences......


portugal jersey GREAT

eg hatch euro tails GREAT

eg center audio console GREAT

eg armrest Had a crack

2 VTI models at different times GREAT

Full catback for eg no resonator just straight pipe unlike what i saw in the pic.... didn't come with silencer. Can't complain for the price i got it thogh... did anyways.



Most of my experiences were great..... 1 of the two that weren't was my fault for not reading what was posted well and for not asking as many questions as i should have. There are alot of great things on ebay. Just make sure that when dealing with people on there you make sure and ask questions and make sure you are getting exactly what you think you are.

i sell everything and anything on ebay
and i buy everything on ebay


I only had one bad experience and that's because some toronto buyer wanted to do pick up, but they wanted to make their own time to come to pick up, and I didn't have time when they did.

i got my euro dash - good buy / experience
i got my 20gb music/movie/picture - document view hd for the car - good buy / experience
i got my projector headlights - good buy / experience

just know what you are buying, do reaserch first, read feedback and so on, if its too good to be true it aint true, and read the fine print... oh and always ask the sender to mark as gift / lowere shipping value so you don get raped by customs

There is always a risk, but level is rather low.

Bought my suspension last August, and the seller only had 6 feedbacks but I still went with it. The stuff arrived. But I haven't put it on yet so let's hope it doesn't leak :P

So far, all good experiences.

yup, never really had a problem, the only time there was a small one, was when I bought a cradel for my Clie, it didn't come for like 6 weeks, I emailed the guy, he said sorry, and sent another one (business or something), I end up getting one a few weeks later, then another one (I guess it got caught in customs or something because he didn't fill in the form right).....
