I purchase from ebay on regular basis. I learned early to read the ad very carefully to know exactly what you're buying. I screwed up on the first purchase. I was looking for oem fender flares for my 04 tahoe. I purchased some that I didn't realize till later were oem style which needed too much mods to fit so I held onto to them for like two years until I sold them locally. Another purchase involved a scam artist. He advertised a "new power programmer" for my tahoe. He also guaranteed full satisfaction or money back. When I received the item I immediately tried to download the program onto my tahoe. Came back with an error which meant that the programmers software had already been downloaded to another car. This guy sold me a piece of plastic. Contacted ebay and paypal. They gave me the runaround. They were asking me to take the item to a qualified tech to inspect and get something in writing. What???? I had the ad and emails from the seller guaranteeing full satisfaction. Still got the run-around. So I went directly to my credit union and had them reverse the charges on my visa. They investigated and I won.

Long story short...read read read and be sure of what you're buying. No problems besides that one after that.

After many great experiences, (i posted earlier) I have come across a scammer again. Feedback looked good. Nothing seemed suspicious. Bought a couple of scion emblems for $10.40, no big deal. 1.5 months later and still nothing received. I had the $ credited back to my account thru my credit card co. but I also disputed and escalated to a claim with paypal since ebay didn't do squat. Hopefully paypal comes thru.

Actually no. I thought my cc company was going to pursue the issue with paypal. They called me and said that they would credit my account but that the seller was not getting punished because they don't pursue anything under $25. Which means they had to eat the $10.40 credited back to me. I told them I would pursue with paypal and once I got the money back I would give it back to the cc company. I believe in Karma.

I just bought a spoiler from moproauto and the transaction was flawless. Their communication was very thorough and open and they painted (perfect Stingray Blue Metallic color match) and shipped the spoiler in about a week. Install was a little iffy (when is it NOT iffy when you have to drill holes in your car??), but everything came out perfectly. I paid $210 shipped vs Scion's $423 before taxes! I highly recommend them!

The painted oem spoiler actually costs $285 shipped from Kent Brown Toyota in NY.
