What Have You Purchased From Ebay?

[Bronno!]

As the title asks, What have you purchased off ebay and had success with?

Can be anything automotive related.

If you can remember the seller, add them in the comment aswell.

Thanks all.

I bought one of those "Dildo" style gear knobs. Pretty happy with it.

Hits the spot hey?

Gear Knob, Valve cover, Nismo sticker, Wheel centre cover, Turbotech MBC, Radiator,

Basically nothing too critical. anything important I source locally from a reputable seller with in store warranty.

the radiator was flushed and tested before installation.

the MBC was bought from Turbotech.

A more appropriate question for me would be "What haven't you bought off Ebay" to which my reply would be "Um..... nothing!"

I bloody live on the stupid thing. I think I might have the male version of a womans handbag addiction. And I'm tipping a large number of you other blokes on here are in the same boat!

I'm up to 543 purchases on Ebay now. I tried to tally it up at a few years ago (they've changed it so you can't look it up anymore) and it was well over $10000 worth of stuff. I'd reckon it's maybe close to $20K now.

I think I need to do an online shopping addiction therapy session....

Its pretty ergonomic.

I bought one of these. Seriously I can't praise it enough. The flexible hose clamp tool (in the lid) is just amazing!

Looks the goods. How much of da monies?

I bought my first 180sx from ebay.

Did inspect it first though.

I buy almost everything from TradeMe (NZ's equivalent to Ebay) as many dependable suppliers use the platform. There is rubbish to avoid as well of course. I buy some stuff from UK Ebay if the price and freight is right. I buy very little from AU Ebay or US Ebay as nearly all the vendors insist on using the most expensive form of freight (and some US vendors won't export!). The exceptions on the US Ebay site are electronics and car parts listed on the US site by Hong Kong suppliers who will send stuff for low or no freight cost.

You bet.

Stacks of stuff, and I can only remember one issue with a non car-related product. eBay is good.

For very specific JDM stuff I go to RHDJapan and Streeter

Shit tons of stuff. I remember 10 years ago, I had to find H4H bulbs for my car, ebay saved the day. Since then Ive bought hundreds of items. Much of it is cheap stuff from china. Hell Im even running taiwanese ebay spec ball joints and they've held up fine going on 4 years now. Electronic components are also considerably cheaper compared to jaycar which has exorbitant markups on small items.

543 purchases, or is that just how many people you have traded with.

Feedback score is only people dealt with iirc.

So, buy 5 items from 1 person, means 1 on tear feedback number.

[Shoota_77]

Um.... Dunno! That's my feedback total count so there's probably more that haven't bothered to give me feedback hence not adding to my total.

I bought some violet metallic flake powder for a respray job on my R32. $25 for 25 grams, laid on a black base coat and added the flake to the clear at 5 grams per litre. Sprayed it in a carport with some tarps and it came up okay. Turns plenty of heads and I regularly get a thumb up ( IRL ) and sometimes even a " nice ride bro " out in the world.

Custom Pearl Finishes is the store for anyone looking to do their own respray on a budget.
