Would you buy from Ebay?

[TedBeal]

There is a great buyer protection policy in force if you pay on Ebay with Paypal. I have used it myself when I did not receive goods. I had my money refunded very quickly and the seller would have been able to claim his money back from the postal services, so that aspect shouldn't put you off.

Yes, I would, if the pricing were right. Ebay has a lot of protections now for buyers so it's not anywhere as risky as it used to be. In fact, with PayPal's protection for larger items, and all of the ratings for the sellers, it's really a buyer's world.

Ebay and Amazon both work for me. I think the Amazon site is easier to navagate. I use both to benchmark the low price. If you can get it cheaper than either... buy it?
You might be surpised to know you can get just about any parts you need at one or the other by using correct p/n.
The best part is it's on the way and you never leave the house or pick up the phone, Ever visit a NAPA or call one on a Saturday afternoon? You better pack a lunch.

I would do it if the seller had good feedback, and if the shipping charges are not outrageous. If that's the case, I am better off going to the store and buying it.

I have bought various things from eBay over the years and never had a problem. I do tend to stick with items being sold there directly by a manufacturer though, I haven't the patience for the auctions. I do take into account the cost of delivery but all in all for me it's no different from any other online shopping site.

I've bought several things through ebay, from clothes to garden tractor parts & manuals, including one JD 112 round fender. For the 112, I had asked the seller ahead of time if he would meet me halfway (about 2-1/2 hour drive for each of us, which he did. One thing I check is the seller's "feedback", if the percentage isn't really high, I pass! ~~ grnspot110

I have bought thousands of dollars worth of things... It has always been good but here lately it is GREAT... everything is slanted in favor of the buyer... you have Ebay buyers protection that now includes money back on the shipping... there is almost no way to loose.

I have had exceptional good luck with used items, I find the descriptions are very accurate, and new items have been NEW...
Give it a try out... It will surprise you what all you will find there.:thumbsup:
And Like has been said, look at 'feedback', 96 and below is a caution and 98 and above is what I look for...My feedback is 100 and I plan to keep it that way...

But you can see what the complaints are and make your determination... :smile:KennyV

Maybe I'm a bit old school, but I wouldn't buy any machine without seeing and touching it first. Did you buy it as a brand new item? or as a pre-owned unit? It's not clear to me.
