I have been collecting Corvette dealer brochures for the last 2 years. I have purchased all of them from Ebay with not one problem and all from different sellers. I have all the years from 1977 to 2005. That's alot of brochures and alot of sucessful buys.

Default bought my '01 Vette on Ebay...glad I did.

Got no complaints with ebay. In fact would recommend it to anyone. Just like anything else though, spend some time and do some research. I purchased my gorgeous '01 polo green/tan leather interior on the website from a reputable auto dealer. Low miles (18000), excellent condition and a real good price. I'd do it again.

I did a lot of research and found that was the place to beat.

Love my car, maybe too much:o .

Default i like ebay

I have bought all sorts of things on Ebay, over 250 items and only one thing, one time has been bad. Granted I am very careful at what I purchase but a few weeks ago this guy sold me a part for the vette and it was not in the shape as described... i spent the next week trading emails with the seller... he disagreed with me.... i filed a complaint with paypal and gave total descriptions with pictures and estimates and asked for a partial refund.... paypal gave me what I asked and refunded it all.... so no complaints here and I will continue to get stuff off of ebay....

paypal sucks. they will do nothing to get your money back. i just got screwed yesterday on an ebay deal. i bought a carb for my 67 cutlass. it was listed as like new. didnt mention he was going to take all the choke parts off it before he shipped it. paypal said i couldnt get a refund because it was still a carb. if he sent a brick or a wheel maybe. they get there money off the top and screw all the unfortunate people that get ripped off. that is why everyone is going to money orders now

That's why you should always make your PayPal payments with a credit card. If you have a conflict, take it up with the credit card company, not PayPal.
