Can I trust Ebay? I've never ordered anything from Ebay. Any tips or tricks to this so I don't get ripped off?

Thanks much.

Based on your inability to post on an appropriate forum, I think a spare tire kit may be dangerous for you to own. Just call aaa

It is but Amazon has really killed a lot of eCommerce businesses.. You're really at mercy of the eBay seller to ship your order out timely. Amazon has 1 & 2 day shipping for Prime of course

Ditto on what solus said.

Try Amazon.

These spare tire kits are just stupid expensive. Ebay has them for pretty cheap. I just don't know if it's worth the risk.

I'll put this shite on the OT or something.

I just got a spare tire kit off ebay. Mine is legit.

And mine arrived via UPS in about 4 days.

I use ebay a lot. Its not bad. Sellers used to get mad because the buyers have the power. EBAY will almost always side with the buyer if there is any issue.


Ebay is solid. Mercari is nice too

Had an issue with Ebay with a used guitar. Took a little work carrying to a luthier but ended up with a $750 guitar for free (bad seller).

Had an issue with Mercari and they acted indignant. Took 6-7 emails and they still drug their feet over a coffee maker for camping. Ended up with a used coffee maker with missing parts and no resolution. So nah, especially since it was never listed as used. So you got a problem, they have no real problem resolution and their demeanor (in my experience) piss poor sorry bad. Finally gave up, since I had all the missing parts, just really wanted that discontinued model.

In the eBay case this seller was banned and Mercari wouldn't even diminish his 100% stellar rating.
