I purchased 2 items from this guy on Ebay

KYB ShocksSportline Springs

Paid for the KYB's with Paypal and recieved them very quickly

Paid for the Sportlines with Paypal on May 20 and just recieved them today after he promised within 10 days. This guy is not easy to track down. E-mailed every other day for a week and he finally replied saying that the item was on backorder. Although he listed that he had 10 available on the auction page. His feedback is leterally filled with people in my situation. He actually said if anyone left him negative feedback he would do the same no matter what. IMO that is not the best way to conduct business. Finally heard from him last week and he said he would ship them out ASAP. I left him negative feedback today and he then tries to say that I never paid him!! I have the stupid springs right next to me with the reciept. Needless to say this is a perfect example of why you guys should only buy from a reputable business and not fool around with people on ebay unless their feedback is spotless. Hey at least I actually recieved what I bought. To sum up, my experiance with this guy was not a good one and I reccomend all stay away.

I bought a lot of stuff from ebay, and I've never had a problem BECAUSE i avoid people with negative feedback, and because i always pay on time and ask for a tracking #. Sure, sometimes it's more difficult to find what you need, but i like to have peace of mind. You have to be careful on ebay.

you may be able to show ebay that receipt and they might correct any feedback or comments that are not in order, worth a shot

You bought from a guy with 27 negative feedbacks within the past 6 months. I would never purchase anything from anyone with more than 2 negative feedbacks.

I bought from him because he was really good with my shock purchase so I thought why not. Hey at least I finally got the product I wanted just took for ever with a lot of headache. Could have been worse i guess. Just wanted to make sure everyone makes sure they take a look at that feedback. It is the first thing I will do next time for sure.

It easily could have been worse.The guys is slow (many sellers are amateur part-timers like us) but you have not been scammed.

Ya, be thankful you at least got the stuff. There are people on here that have bought entire front clips and get screwed over. 3000 down the drain. Dont know why you would buy an engine off ebay... but oh well.
