Quote from: avator on June 21, 2019, 10:20:38 AMLOL.... Amazon and eBay are two complete different monsters.I can register as Joe Shmoe on eBay and sell stuff. I can't on Amazon.I've basically completely rebuilt a '98 - 2000 Yamaha Grizzly 600 4 wheeler with new and used items from eBay. Some parts even from China. Not one single glitch.With eBay, you make your bets and you take your chances...With Amazon, you order your product and you get it.

I blame the "Bozo" seller and not the host site.https://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=130588.msg1289028#msg1289028
Yes there is a difference. I meant blame the shady seller is all.
Just goes to show you everyone has different experiences.For me I avoid Ebay and primarily use Amazon. Yes you can save a little by using Ebay but I had a few bad experiences with them in the past. Especially on bid items. So I now avoid it like the plague!That is the main reason I did not 'jump in the water' with the others Still waiting to see what is actually being shipped!
Don, I don't mind the head shake too much. But the "EYE ROLL" . . . .
Fortunately there are more 'told ya so' goings on here than at home.... here I can just log off.... not so much at home.
