It's not bad if you look at the seller's feedback. Paypal is a big help also.
You can get your money back if they fail to ship or grossly missrepresent the product.
(Which I have had to do)
Never Ever send Checks or use Bidpay (Western Union) you can kiss your money goodby if they fail to ship.
That's incorrect in reference to Paypal being safe. I bought a set of rotors that never got shipped. Even though Paypal sided with me, they couldn't do anything to get my money back. They said since the seller didn't have any money in their account they (Paypal) couldn't do anything. Always buy from a known trusted source.

I looked into it quite a bit before buying. I'm protected by PayPal in this particular case because the item is above a certain price and the seller meets several criteria (has a verified business account, has feedback better than some number, etc). There's a lesser grade of protection that allows for $200 back if anything goes wrong, but since this is at a higher level, I'm protected up to $2000. In theory.

Plus the whole American Express thing, which I know is true from past experience.

I already got an email from the guy, so I'm hopeful.

Crisis #1: the eBay seller shipped it to the wrong damn person! If I didn't catch it, some guy named "Monte" in Austin, Texas was about to get a nice Christmas present in the mail. I called them and they were super apologetic, and actually made it so it'll get here a day early, so I called off the hitman. Hopefully this will be the worst problem I have.

Nope. It's supposed to get here tomorrow, God willing, and I plan to take it to a local shop for a once-over before the 3 day money-back deal expires. If they give me a thumbs up, I'll start getting myself smarter on what I need to install it (beefier exhaust, fuel system, etc). Any recommendations would be appreciated.

I also have Steeda UDPs sitting here and an MGW shifter on the way, so it's gonna be a fun time for me.

Update: the kit finally got here, after being sent to the wrong address, and I had it installed over the weekend. Everything works, and I'm getting a custom dyno tune on Wednesday. I think I might throw a smaller pulley on, too.

Wow, this actually worked out. :-)
