Ebay

Does ebay have a contract that if you dont get what you see in the picture you get your money back. Because I need new shocks and I want to buy a yellow pair of ebay but my dad doesn't really trust the internet. He thinks that they would say your getting shock but when it comes in it could be a pair of broken shocks, etc. Or is there anything that has something to do with that?

I have purchased enough to rebuild almost 2 warriors and have only sent 2 received items back to seller that were not as described, and received full refund both times. If you use paypal that helps to get your money back. Just be sure to ask a very detailed question that will cover your ass.
"Will these shocks fit a 19?? warrior, are they in good working order, is there any damage anywhere that will effect it's performance. Can I bolt these on and go?"
That should about cover it. I have had good results thus far...good luck!

I agree with flyinacez on this one. Contact the seller, ask questions as he stated, and use paypal. You can't beat it - fast transfer and it logs all transactions. Furthermore, read the feedback of the seller, it's there for good reason. Don't frown if they have one or two bad ones if they have a lot of sellers.... but use your own judgement.

If the buyers say things like shipping took forever, wrong parts, and so forth it's usually good to avoid them. On the other hand, if the feedback is something like - charged too much for shipping... that's the buyers problem. You are or should be aware of the shipping/handling charges before you agree to buy. If you think it's too high then, forget it. If it's acceptable, then it's all good. Don't assume that because they want 10.00 for shipping, the package will be stamped 10.00.... remember, people have to drive to the shipper, have to get boxes and packaging and all that costs money too.

Buying from Ebay is relatively safe and can be a great experience, but just cover your own ass, do your homework on the idea - like you are doing now. In short; find items, read reviews, contact seller, ask questions, and go from there.

If there's a clause in the description that says anything about being "sold as is" you can't get a refund if you recieved the item pictured in the listing. So with "as is" items you are taking a risk, but if there's no disclaimers like that in the listing and they describe it in good working condition they have to refund you or exchange it.(make sure you read the whole listing for any kind of disclaimers I bought an mp3 player on ebay that was silver in the picture, but the one I recieved was barbie ******* pink. Turns out it was listed as pink, but only in the shipping info! At least the seller exchanged it though)

Also read the seller's feedback before you buy, especially if it's under 99% positive.

I've spent thousands of dollars on ebay. I buy all my shoes off ebay, alot of clothes, vehicle parts, quad parts, random junk that nerds like, an ipod. Pretty much anything.

Here is one for you. Today I went to look for new shoes. I tried the new air max shoes on and they retail for 160. I found them on ebay for around 90 shipped. I bought my nike shox off ebay. I paid 65 shipped for a pair of shoes that are $150.

I love eBay!!!
