Question Ebay...Yes or No?

Hey Guys,
Im thinking about getting a couple parts for my car and I found some on Ebay for cheaper. If anyone has bought springs, exhaust, or headers from Ebay tell me if you were happy.

Thanks

Eh, I bought an intake off of there, and its not like it wasnt a no-name brand. It was Konig. But when I got it, it was missing a lot of parts. I also bought a grill from a coupe and when I got it, the person hadnt cleaned it one bit, no joke, there was still splattered bugs on this thing. Aside from that though, I've had pretty good experiences with Ebay stuff as long as its brand name and not any of those "Ebay knock-offs"

I love Ebay.

I've only had a couple bad experiences, nothing to bad. Watch who you buy from, always check out their feedback, and check out the feedback they left for others.

car related i've purchased from ebay.
2 mufflers
1 intake
2 sets of altezza's
2 sets of those bluish bulbs

Plus I've purchased so much other crap it's not funny.

i brought many things from ebay, but not car parts anymore, because the sellers never give you any warranties

my first set of tyc was purchased online, and the seller couldn't do anything and tyc refused to do anything because it wasn't purchased from an authorized vendor, i had to buy a new set from tornactive

Ebay is fine and you can get great deals if you bid strategically. The key is in the feedback rating. This goes without saying but, don't buy from people with negative feedback. Most people are pretty careful about that one. I take it one step further and only buy from people that have established a history of GOOD feedback. Anyone can scam you on EBay, the trick is to minimize your chances of getting burned.
