has anyone bought motor parts from ebay?

Question

do u just take them to the aouto tech to install? i need bumper, splash guards, rear light.

Answer 1

i haven't bought any off e-bay ,because most of the people i see that have bought them say their not in as good of condition as they should be for the price they pay for them,pictures lie about what something really looks like,so be careful,good luck.

Answer 2

I've sold a bunch, hundreds, and I may or may not be typical of sellers, but I can tell you what I'm like. I don't need your money, and I'm not some low-life that needs to steal from you to buy beer. You know what I mean? I just did it for fun, mostly. Out of 500 people I guess I had 2 or 3 dissatisfied. My customers were mainly people who are just too lazy to go to the junkyard.

If you need a bumper and taillight, obviously you've crashed your car, so it shouldn't be too hard to look at a picture of those items on ebay and see that they're as good as what you need. I have two items of advice, from my experience.

1. On ebay, 98% feedback is unusually low. I would advise you not to even consider anybody that's below 99%. Don't even think about it.

2. Pictures on a computer screen will not show any small flaws in the item. The number of pixels on the screen is just too small to show small chips and things like that. Expect flaws that you can't see. If you can't handle that, don't use ebay.

Answer 3

Yes I have for my sons car he is restoring. I have had no problems. But I do look close at the feedback and only buy from people that sell a lot of parts. I also ask fro more pics if the ones that are posted are fuzzy or dark. Just do your research The spash guards and light yo may even find new as for the bumper you should try a local junk yard due to shipping costs.
Good Luck!
