Are people on EBAY for other things other then car parts

pretty reliable?



I tryied to get some 5 mile range radios, this guy must think

Im retarded, he is trying to make me PAY sales tax for CALI

and wont insure my shipment. What is with these people?

So I said put insurance on my stuff and also I wont pay US

sales tax for ANY state. No answer back......



A lot of rip-off people on EBAY? Or just try to pray on the

nieve?

 

i'll go for prey on the stupid, its a good solid answer



mike

 

yup most people are trying to rip you off

 

hummm thanks... I just started using it.....



Thanks for the headsup

 

i know some people who buy TONS of **** off ebay and have yet to get ripped off. And ive also know people who rip people off on ebay. So its kinda like taking your chances. You should find someone on the forum that lives close to where the dude is at and have the person on the forum go get it for you Thats what i would do...

 

hehe---- I was thinking of that. The place is an actual shop, but I

dont know what him deal is for not responding. See guys beleive

me I know how it feels and it pisses me off, so I try not to do it to

you guys, some times e-mails get lost and such. That I can

understand, but damn.....

 

I've had better experiences on ebay with just people selling their own stuff than dealers. There are people on there just trying to get rid of extra stuff like you would on partstrader and usually the dealers have worse customer service, slower shipping and higher prices. There's always a risk though with buying anything online.

 

Never really had a problem with anything I've bought or sold on ebay

 

I buy my carbide burr bits off EBAY and have had NO problems

 

I've had pretty good experience with both buying and selling . . . but you do have to watch out for people trying to rip you off on shipping (usually Americans who want some ridiculous sum to ship outside the country). I've gotten outright scammed once, and had one transaction just go wrong and lost my money; neither time a huge amount.



The main thing is to check people's feedback rating before you bid.
