first time buying on eBay...

im just wondering...im new to this ebay stuff, and im planning to buy an oem kit (front, rear and sides), but i dunno if its trustworthy. right now the kit is only going for ~20 bucks, and it just seems to good to be true! the bidding only started at $0.01, but the S+H costs $100... still its a good deal considering that at honda it costs ~1000 bucks! neways, i dunno if this sale is the real deal, and i for sure do not want to lose my money on some garbage! for u guys that have bought stuff off ebay, can u give me some advice on this...thanx

Check Seller's feedbacks.
Make sure he is selling Genuine Honda OEM kit.
Which should come pre-painted.

Price will go up eventually...
Most people usually start bid on last mintues.

i think he didnt provide the auction link because some fool that reads this thread will out bid him and win it for themselves (booo )


but PM someone on this thread so you can keep it private and all.
to me, it sounds like a private seller trying to get rid of his OEM lip kit. BUT i can be wrong cuz anything goes on eBay.

i really dont like seeing people getting ripped off ebay because it pisses the **** outta me so i suggest talk to someone who had major experience with eBay.

hope things turn out well. btw dont send cash... at least pick up a Money Order (MO) at your local postal office.

I have over 32 transactions in ebay, if the seller doesn't have a feed back rating, your're taking a huge risk. Make sure their pics.

you should contact him and try to talk over the phone if you can if he doesnt have any feedback. and why are you already bidding? just wait otherwise the kits price is going to be skyhigh
