bying on ebay?

[CBlackjr]

been looking at proces and after seeing ebay i can get all the mods on my gun io want for half the price example, barrel, N2 tank, accessories. But I have never bought anything on ebay so any input on good and bad buys people have experienced

just don't buy from anyone with negative or no feedback at all. You'll save yourself a headache.

That, and set a limit for yourself, and then bid accordingly. Don't get whipped into the bidding frenzy if/when you get outbid at the last moment.

That, and take everything with a grain of salt. A lot of times prices you see are nothing near prices they actually sell for.

I find that looking at completed auctions is a better measurement of what items are going for.

CBlackjr,

I buy and sell a lot on e-bay. The main things you need to watch out for like said before are ppl with little or horrible feedback. The other thing is reserve prices, you may see a tank up there for $10 but the the reserve might be $100. It is a waste of time to sit and bid around these items. I just figure out how much I'm willing to spend, put he price in and let the proxy bidding do the work for you. Hope this helps.

I recommend not bidding till the last seconds and having a few windows open ready to up it as fast as you can. I have won a lot of auctions that way. What is the point to bidding a day or even an hour before when you can lose it in the last second or even better win it.

Use Caution...

To be quite honest, I much prefer buying and selling here on the forums, but I have bought a bunch of stuff from EBAY too. Check my signature for two people to watch out for... I hate to say it, but if they have negative feedback, don't deal with them at all. I thought I would be okay, but one guy is still supposidly(sp?) shipping me my hopper. I had to file a paypal report on him, since you only have 30 days to file with paypal...
