6+ weeks for shoes and lens filters seems excessive in 2019. Perhaps that's just me.

Don't know. Most of the stuff I've ordered from China arrives in 2-3 weeks but we are talking really small miscellaneous shit like my most recent purchase from China was a replacement high center taillight cover for my S10. I've never ordered anything from China that cant be shipped in a simple envelope.

I've had pretty good luck dealing with eBay. The only time when I've had a problem was with a kayak I wanted and the person selling it was asking the same price as retail.

It was used but in really good condition and the guy wouldn't budge on the price and my question was "why wouldn't I buy this from a retail store if I wasn't looking to save a couple dollars?" and the guy had no answer.

Stick to things like books and Chiefs tickets where depreciation isn't a factor and you should be OK.

Ordered a custom engraved pickguard and truss rod cover off Ebay from China. Took awhile, but everything was great.

Ebay Scams!
Lately I have been buying some things on eBay and have really enjoyed it. We are renovating my in-law’s new house. So for most of the items I’ve been buying there are enough out there that someone will be selling it cheap due to quantity or just wanting to get rid of something quickly. This is certainly different than one off or hard to find items which might be more prone to issues.

Here is the biggest tip though. Buy eBay gift cards on target.com with your Target red card. It saves you 5% right off the bat.

In the last month we have saved literally hundreds of dollars buying the same things off eBay that we would have gotten at Home Depot. That’s my preferred hardware store but I have found so many good deals on the same products on eBay. These products have all been new open box items that are purchased immediately but the savings are huge. And I only buy ones with free shipping, which is actually quite a few.

Two counter stools were already half the price of the furniture store but they had a make offer option so I got them $5 cheaper even so saved $55 there.

Kitchen faucet $100 cheaper than Home Depot. Bathroom accessories such as faucet, towel bar, toilet paper holder, and faucet were $70 cheaper. Brad nailer $60 cheaper. Going to buy a few light fixtures and a ceiling fan which will be about $50 cheaper.

Like with anything, it just seems you need to be careful who you buy from. I look for good ratings and also products they sell. I know people have random things but I feel like if you have more than just a few random items then you probably sell enough that positive ratings are an accurate reflection. I don’t understand the people who put things out for more than what they sell for in the store though.

Now that Amazon has free returns, I won't even look at ebay.

Sucks to hear how people are scamming each other. I would much rather see Ebay work than folks using Amazon. Between Amazon and Walmart, it's only a matter of time till the greeter at Walmart is the Chinese Red Army.

I hear ya, but it's eBay that's not making these code and policy changes.

Update...

Almost two months and still no shoes... I'm all but certain this is fallout from the trade war.

Don't buy from Chinese sellers on Ebay, you might regret it, I know I do... Pay more and buy it from somebody not-China.

Done. I wouldn’t consider anything with a shipping location outside the is to start with.

Ebay was once a fun place to shop (like 1999). But now it's a crap shoot. And people are just nasty and dishonest. Tired of buying things listed as like new that are at best ok. Pictures taken at angles just leaving out the damaged parts and then getting all defensive when you call them out on it. Had one guy claim he never received an item I sold. I simply sent ebay the tracking info with delivery confirmation.

Once Amazon got involved with the used market, ebay dropped their listing fees. Items used to have to be sold or you'd pay to relist. This just let's sellers inflate their prices and leave it for months.

I sold a guy a limited production numbered 1/18 die cast model of Sox and Martin's GTX. It had never been out of the box and I put it inside another box wrapped in bubble wrap. He claimed it was damaged and ebay gave him an instant refund and had him ship it back to me, but I didn't receive it. My last attempt at selling anything on there.

But I still prefer to buy on eBay as they are doing there best to offer better deals than Amazon in many cases.
