[saxogal]

anyone bought anything off there?
just a few questions smileys/smiley10.gif

what did you buy?

how long did it take to come?

was it worth it?

just wonder to bid on some tail lights smileys/smiley2.gif

[Grainger]

it is good a lot of the time but u have 2 b careful. wen people sell stuff they get good or bad feedback, on the quality n how long it took etc. so just check their feedback 1st n u no u r safe.

[AdamW]

Ebay used to be a great auction site, but is now ruined by Conmen. I would never buy anything off there anymore, its just gone really downhill. But as Grainger says to be EXTRA careful check the sellers details and feedback, power sellers are only the really genuine sellers on ebay.

i have used it once to buy an I-Trip for the missus' Ipod. The guy had excellent feedback and had sold literally thousands of things.

I bought the Itrip at 3:30 on the 23rd of december, it was there at 9am on the 24th of december (thats christmas evesmileys/smiley3.gif)

it was defo worth it
the guy was excellent and communicated with me very quickly by email.

BE VERY CAREFUL you will probably receive emails from "ebay" asking to enter bank details etc.... they are not from ebay delete them and keep your wits about you, remember ebay or a seller will NEVER need your pin number so never give it out

[tstapleton]

I purchased some smoked rear clusters for me saxo last christmas and they are in brand new conidition and work perfect. Just be caucious who your buying from and check their feedback results mate.

My lights took about 2 weeks to come and it was worth it smileys/smiley14.gif

[dannyelks]

I've used ebay loads of times and *touches wood* never had a bad experience with any of the sellers!!!

[saxogal]

[AdamW]

Those Itrip fm transmitter for the ipod are fooking class, had a play with one the other day.

[saxogal]

Itrip ?? whats that do like adam? i might get a ipod like

[AdamW]

Well the Itrip plugs into the top of the ipod, you tune your radio station into a certain frequency and you can listen to all your tunes on your ipod through ur car stereo or HiFi at home without any leads or anything.

[saxogal]

dont you get it free with the ipod ?

didnt realise you got to buy separetly

[AdamW]

Nope its about £25.

EBAY IS GREAT !!!!!</font>

As the corner shop guy always tells me --

"Many-many bargains, lots of bargains to be had"

[unplugged]

yeah ebay is great ive been buying and selling stuff on there for nearly 2 years now not 1 problem. i bought stuff like sat nav which cost me close to 300 quid and ive bought stuff off there from as little as £1.50 and not 1 hitch but like the lads say keep ur witts about you and if it looks to good to be true then it usually is.... smileys/smiley2.gif

[mike_obuk]

used to be excelent, but now too many ppl are trying to con ppl out of money, i won some lexus style lights for £40, sent off my cheque and never recieved the item, ebay were fucking useless to help out too. ive bought loads of stuff where deals have gone well, most recently a brand new green cotton air filter for £40, well happy! i bought my car stereo from there too, but the guy took 3 weeks to send, and then another 2 months to send the remote he forgot to post! u gotta be really careful on there now, and if u can pay by paypal, that way u have some sort of a guarentee on your money.

[Saxo_Ste]

Its ok. I've bought things from £20 - £400 however, I'm waiting on a coil pack I bidded on like a week n a half ago. I sent my payment a week ago and I still have nothing! not even an E-mail. Can't keep using my car like this.. really starting to get to me. So if ur on this site and u see this.. HURRY UP!!!! *shakes fist*

[barrett]

use ebay loads as a buyer and seller, been doing so for a long time!!! back in the days when paypal didnt exist and everyone sent cheques to each other etc!!!!

Never had a problem, some people on it are lazy (myself included) and either wait for a few auction to have ended and have all the money and everything ready to take to the post office in one trip whereas other tend to send it straight away. Personally i usually judge it. If its something expensive ship it straight off as people get worried too quickly and the emails start flooding in!

[Lauraj85]

E-bay is great 4 really individual 1 off mods that not many other ppl r gonna know about, a have a few, all will be revealed when i finaly get my baby back, note to everyone avoid old men in cars!

[Scott]
