Default ebay is a joke

I like E-bay.......where else can you get an entire front wheel assy. for my 84' ATC in great shape for $10.....I have bought some real good deals on there many times. The people who get burned do not do there research!!!!!! LOOK AT THE FEEDBACK!!!!! if you are buying something worth some good money read there feedback and items ......if all they have done is buy stuff to get the feedback # higher; than do not buy something big. If you pay close attention to there buying and selling history you can tell. Buy the item with a credit card.......if you do not get the item, then contact the credit card company and do a "charge back". The credit card company will give you your money back........Then they get the money back from the person. Just some advice, But I like E-bay.

We've gotten some really good deals on parts off of ebay. I see a lot of the things go for the same price you can buy it for in the stores. If you just do your homework, there are deals to be had. It's a great place to find parts for older quads. Just make sure the person has lots of positive feedback and you ask any questions before bidding. We've even sold parts on Ebay, and trust me, some people got great deals. We started our auctions at $1.00, and let them go without a reserve.

If you need hard to find parts, you used to be stuck going to swap meets and watching want ads forever. Now if you need for instance a floor console for a '66 Fairlane GTA you click on ebay and buy one. The world is your marketplace now, and it is one of the greatest tools ever for any hobbiest.

Ebay has been very good too me. I have purchased and sold many items there. But, you have to do you homework.

I purchased a case of items for $60 shipped to my house. I eventually sold them individually on ebay for $475.00. Nice profit.

Those deals are on there all day long but you have to spend time looking.

E-bay is awsome. I have found dozens of deals-usualy at a savings of around 40%. I have a program that bids for me at the last 10 seconds of an auction. I just enter the most I'm willing to pay for an item. I get e-mailed if I win. If you ask the right questions, check the feedback, and are smart about what to look for- e-bay is a great tool. Tools only work if you take the time and learn how to use them. Some peaple are just to stupid or lazy to learn about something before they slam it. Obviously like the old saying goes,if it looks to god to be true-well duh.

I don't know, I ebay all the time and have very little problems. I just got an axle & hubs w disk for $106 Shipped. You have to know what ur doin on ebay to avoid fraud. One problem I had was an axle I bought for an '88 LT250R and it was an 85-87. It fit in the carrier but my hubs didn't fit.

I listed the axle and sold it for $52+ S/H but only payed $35 +S/H

I do agree that there is alot of fraud on ebay though.
