I have never bought anything through ebay and i was wonder ing if some of you guys have bought ur guns on there and if so have u been happy with it. Any problems or any good things at all. I might decide to get an autococker one there. Also do u think i should get a 2k3 WGP autococker with upgrades or buy a new one and make it my custom cocker and not someone elses

I've gotten a load of stuff, including guns, on eBay. Personally I never had a problem, but keep in mind that eBay simply provides the hosting for auctions and a good or bad buying experience has to do with the seller, not eBay itself. Make sure to read the fine print including (but not limited to) shipping price, sales tax, user feedback, and accepted methods of payment. Avoid buying from users who have multiple bad feedback about not sending the item or payments to other sellers.

I've bought a ton of crap off ebay. I bought: guns, an assualy block, gauges, hoppers, dow 33, valves, masks, a pod pack, and my tank. Just make sure teh person doesn't have bad feedback. if you have any questions ask teh seller (tank hydro dates etc.) Just remember when you click "submit" its like signing a legal contract

I wouldn't trust buying a gun on e-bay. I have never done it, but my friend bought some sort of cocker on e-bay, and It was a peice of crap with alot of stuf wrong with it. Just beware

Research is the Key to buying on ebay. and Know what to say, and how much to say is the key to selling. It also do not hurt to have 177 positives like me :) But after being on ebay for just over 5 years..I picked up 3 negitives from Idiot....at least what they said had a easy come back to it....

It's always a good idea to ask questions and read the seller's feedback.
I personally only had a couple problems selling stuff (non paying bidders, etc.) but never when buying.

Let's see... just the paintball stuff: two PMI 47/3000, one Air America 47/3000, one Nitro Duck 88/3000, one Centerflag 68/4500, one ACI 68/3000, one Rico AK, one Rico 2k, one Warp Feed, one Automag PF left w/ Lvl.10, two 4+1 harnesses, one Radarchron, two ANS Gen-X regs, and one Palmer Stabalizer. All I can think of Paintball-wise.
Just watch the feedbacks, always use Paypal, and be sure to comparison shop. :D

I just bought my fill station off ebay. Came in 2 weeks, from california to northern alberta, don't know if thats good or not but it was alright. Only thing was that it leaked out of some places. I work with valves so I fixed it pretty good.
You should email the person/company you wish to buy from to get everything cleared up, doens't matter if they get annoyed (lol did for me:laugh: ) but at least you'll be sleeping easily knowing your package is on the way.:sleep:
unless ups looses it:eek:

I love Ebay, they rock. I bought a Java Deluxe remote w/ slide check and quick dissconnect for $19.99 (brand new) and a Ronin Gear 4+1 w/ pods, for $10.99 (brand new). All my stuff came from II sports (they rock). Good thing I got my remote so cheap, cuz I found out that REMOTES SUCK!!!
