Ever used eBay to buy gear or gun parts

[Fenway]

Curious...

 

[the1kidd03]

Both actually.

No problems.

 

[Que]

Yes and I did not have any issues.

 

[Brandon]

I haven't.
I won't say I never would though...

 

[Hookeye]

No probs on the few purchases I've made.
And I don't do Paypal.

 

[steveIU]

I have on a couple different occasions...no problems, except that I hated a holster I bought, but I resold it the via ebay......so no complaints.

 

[rockhopper46038]

Yeah, in the past. Not recently.

 

[chezuki]

Yes. No problems either.

 

[MadMan66]

I've bought gun related items on eBay, but never sold any. No problems so far. I've bought holsters, magazines, and bayonets with no problems so far.

 

[SmileDocHill]

No probs on the few purchases I've made.
And I don't do Paypal.

I hear SO many people say they don't use paypal but when I hosted the group buy for backpacks and all the other stuff it was by FAR the most requested and used method of payment.

I'm not calling your bluff, this was more just a general observation I recalled due to your post.

Now as the receiver of money I did have my account frozen for a short while so they could confirm that I wasn't selling guns. I requested to buyers they make note of their INGO name in the memo. I had people with gun names in their INGO name throwing red flags.

I was blown away at how fast they squared me away though AND how much effort they put into helping me get it squared away.

This.

I've gotten over 2200, bought some holsters, pieces parts, whathaveyou. Only thing I ever tried to sell was an M14E2 stock, basically a stick of wood, and the bids totally took off for an hour or so until the dinks cancelled it for no good reason. I don't think you can do ebay anymore without doing paypal.

 

[9mmfan]

Yes, mainly holsters. Have found some good deals on brand name stuff.

 

[Trigger Time]

Yes. It used to be within the rules. I bought lots if reloading stuff off eBay years ago. Now they will freeze your Paypal and ban you for certain gun related stuff.

 

[Knife Lady]

I have bought a couple of holsters and had no issues not like the open case I have pending now over a DVD that doesn't play.

 

[Lammchop93]

I always double check their feedback to make sure it's quality parts. I've ordered just a few things from Ebay, and have never had a problem.

 

[Jarhead77]

Yes, I use PayPal, bought and sold, no issues, no frozen accounts.

 

[remauto1187]

You name it, Ive bought it. Ebay is one of the first places I go for hard to find parts especially. Its the first place I go for obsolete parts for just about anything. Ive never had anything frozen. Im not too happy about the 10% commission and then they charge 10% of your(seller) shipping charges and then they get you with the paypal fee. They suck it out of you but are a neccessary evil.

 

[Dead Duck]

I have dealt with eBay back when they had a whole firearms section and we could buy and sell guns on their site.
Now they are finally allowing some parts and accessories......Again.......Kind-of.


I have had good luck with searches on eBay for some super rare parts. Misspelling your search can bring you lower prices too.

GunBroker is also a good source.

Only time I ever bought a firearm related item was when I bought a holster for a friend a few yrs. ago. No problems but the bay did let me know "they noticed" I bought the holster and asked me to leave feedback for the buyer.
First time the bay (not the seller) ever asked me to leave feedback.
