I Don't know about you guys, but i am sick to death of E-bay.. I love the customers and the range seller have.... but they charge you to sell whether it sells or not, one small hiccup and they can suspend your account indefinatly. And there other half PAYPAL are even biger crooks...

F*ck All customer protection, nothing ever seems to turn up in the condition you buy it in, or when it is meant to, etc etc..

what do you guys think from your experiences... Is it time for E-Bay to fall??????

I've had some pretty good experiences with only 2 which were a little dodgy and didn't turn up initially.

'Luckly' I paid through paypal which removes $$ from the sellers account until the dispute is resolved.

So.... I received my bits and they received their money. ;)

I have to say, it might just be a selected few who have had bad experiences with ebay (and I don't doubt this as I heard a few bad stories from others too) - but personally speaking - ebay is great for those 'hard to get' things - and if you do your prep work right, you may just get a bargain whilst at it.

I've used eBay for years, made well over 150 transactions and no real problems to report. Some sellers are less than helpful, but you deal with it. All the items I've sold have gone without a hiccup.

As for PayPal, I use it even more than eBay. Love it. It works, it's quick and it's simple as poo. Fee's are reasonable too.

ihave used ebay for a while now mainly selling stuff i have over 90 sales with a 100% rating secrets it describe the goods as they actually are .

post as soon as there money arrives in your account communicate with the buyer let them know there money has be recivieved. and there itiem will be posted asap thats all it takes. ive used direct debit /paypal and money orders and have never had a non payer. never been ripped off when buying stuff either .

ebay works for me and we genrally sell a couple of hundred bucks worth a gear every 2 to 3 weeks

I've only bought off ebay and had some mixed experiences. 90% of the transactions were straight forward with no hassles. The other 10% was a nightmare! Sellers not communicating and items arriving months later. That was a headache!

I've never sold before so I'll have to get into that cause I've got quite a bit of stuff laying around. Having to pay for stuff that doesn't sell is BS though. Depends what the rates are though? I guess after all, you are advertising on their site and a fee should be associated with this. On the other hand, I think you can opt for a fixed classified price and the item will stay up on ebay until it is sold.

Also check out www.oztion.com.au as I heard their fees are a lot better.

I was biding on an R34 GTR that the buyer had in Budapest, for some reason he couldnt rego it there so it was a bargain IMO

Paid money as he said that covers the shipping fee's and then I never saw the cash or car, why!?!?!?

and yes, im taking the piss :)

Ive prob only bought a handful of items on ebay and have all been good, i.e. quality and postal/delivery

From a sellers point of view, I hate the fact you offer people insurance for $2 more, then they have a major sook when an item is lost in the post and want you to send another one at your cost. That's what insurance is for to cover problems like that....don't be such a cheap-ass and pay for insurance. I bloody do when I buy.

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
