I got screwed over selling a car. If someone bids and screws you they go after them for the money. It is like $40 to list it and $40 if the car sells. Def a good idea especially if you own a Subaru, or so I hear.

don’t think you can generalize eBay. That’s like saying… don’t buy eBay parts for your car. eBay is not a distributer or manufacturer (i know you know this). They are just medium for connecting buyers/sellers.

It really depends on the seller more than anything and not related to eBay at all.

#1 thing would be to check feedback.

i bought a 91 explorer from ebay… was junk, but just for a winter beater for a couple years… price like $ 850, lasted 2-3 years so it did the job.

also bought my 99 durango from a dealer in ohio without checking it out beforehand… brought cash and checked it out briefly before paying, but with a 99.8% positive feedback and over 400 transactions i wasn’t TOO worried. no problems from that one.

if a seller has only an 80-90% positive rating… then i would completely avoid it.

every vehicle I have put on ebay sold. they love ryced out hondas

just becareful, atleast with bikes, alot of ppl run scams. I was looking at a few bikes on there. guys were suppose to be close to buffalo, I ask them if I could come see the bike and they are like its in california, but they are posing from a NY location. WTF  
I have also heard of deadbeat bidders bidding on cars then not paying and you are stuck paying ebay ebays for something that didnt sell. I have also heard of the seller somehow going after these ppl and making them pay thru some legal ordeal. do your research thats for sure

i’ve bought parts from Ebay stores…then I also had a guy try to screw me on my last purchase…so I’ll never buy anything at least again from Ebay unless it’s a store with like 20,000 sales and 99%+ rating. Not worth worrying if you’re gonna get fucked or not, at least in my opinion.
