Are these eBay floor jacks/ jack stands they're selling any good, or should I buy from a more reputable. If they suck, please tell me why! (I'm kinda putting my life in their hands, if you know what i mean!)

Check with the local auto part stores, Sears, Walmart, etc. You will find the same thing. When you add the shipping charge the cost of the ones you mention are actually more expensive.
keep in mind these are light duty jacks !!

I don't know the particular brand, but that kind of jack will not last long with consistent use. They also will not hold much weight.
A good floor jack costs $250+. You can certainly buy a jack cheaper, but you may end up buying several.

I wouldn't take a chance since you can buy good quality at any Sears or price club for the same price or less. A lot of the discounted products are made in China no matter where you buy them, so buy them from a reputable place like Sears that you can bring them back to if they fail under warranty.

The jacks are OK, but the shipping and handling make them too expensive. You can buy a better jack at any retailer, foe less money.

they are ok but you can get the same thing at walmart cheaper when you figure in the shipping costs....a "real" hydralic jack (2 ton) cost about $100
