E-Bay: What a crock

[fabsroman]

DaMadman,

I think I agree with you completely. E-bay has a program that guarantees a sale if it is less than $1,000, if the seller decides to provide that assurance. It probably costs the seller a little more, but it makes buyers feel a lot better.

The rims I bid on were $50 for one pair and $160 for the other. The seller finally fixed the invoice to reduce it by $35, so I went ahead and paid him. He also had the e-bay guarantee on his ad, so I feel pretty good about this purchase, and I really liked the rims anyway. Now, I'll just have to wait and see how long it takes to get them and what condition they are in (i.e., the ad said NIB).

I think I'll continue to use e-bay for the smaller purchase items, but I am going to leave the high dollar stuff (i.e., anything above $1,000) alone unless I can meet with the seller in person and look over the goods before handing him a cashier's check.

One of the guys on here got one heck of a deal on a vintage mustang through e-bay, but I forget who his screen name right now. I think he is a mod. That is an awesome car.
