Can't remember the name but I ordered a VIS evo hood for my em2. It was buy now for 500. It was only going to take 5-7 days to ship but turned into 6months. First he said it most of fallen off the truck and when it finally showed up 6 months later it was a invader hood, not the evo hood i ordered. So, I said to hell with it and kept it. The name was Carbon(something)in cali area.

wow i was just thinking about ebay and saw this. ebay is such a weird place. ive sold maybe 5 times and always got next to nothing for my stuff. idk how people make money cause the whole idea is, if you want it cheap go on ebay. and its generally true. my advice to fellow ebay buyers is, use a credit card to pay whenever possible. it is so easy to make a call to your company and tell them to do a chargeback. paying through the bank or paypal is a really bad idea because chances are you will never see that money again if the deal goes bad. buy from guys with hi feedback percent. hi numbers are almost worse, a vendor with 10,000 sales is less likely to care about your problem than someone with only 100 sales and a reputation to protect. btw, i just got my 100 seller turquoise star! 100% feedback =)

Although we have our own eBay Store, we also buy some things on eBay that we don't source directly. Here is a list of some eBay Sellers that we have had good experiences with:

- 2004momo
- completeexhaustsystems
- mini-genie
- antenna_x
- theonlinebodyshop (very good! painted oem body part replacements)
- exotic_dash
- atlanticparts
- SalesUpscaleAuto (of course! :D )

I've had a few dealings with racerbits, the products were great but fedex made a slow delivery!!!
I'm waiting on products from Kazespeed and tuningleader! I will update on their service!

silverimage3 - great seller, fast shipping, good communication.

Lokakech - best ebay headlights I've ever bought, fitment is perfect.

My front lip came folded in a box as well but I can handle "re-bending" urethane, when I bought an ABS lip it came wrapped in plastic and it was cracked...

I have had 100% success on e-Bay. I have only had 2 buyers flake after winning the auction, both let me know the next day and had reasonable excuses.

2kracing has its own site but i know they sell off ebay.

its a weird place indeed. i never go there just because id rather deal with the supplier directly then some guy and get any of the BS they may come up with.

I sell and purchase on eBay. I recently started doing so too, before it was just forum selling/buying.

Its a nice place to make money if you ask me.

Bought/payed for my item on Aug 1st, they sent me UPS tracking number Aug 3rd, tracking hasn't updated since, therefore item has not shipped, they have ignored my emails asking for an explanation.

Avoid these guys.
