Really it all depends on what it is... If it sounds too good to be true it usually is.

Looking around the site, seems there are plenty of those that have bought parts from ebay sellers, from headers, bumpers, high flow cats, and exterior trim. You can get good deals off of private sellers and such, just make it a habit to check out previous performance ratings/reviews so you don't get taken for a ride.

Remember, if a deal sounds too good to be true, it generally is...

Well here's the thing it's a car parts business on eBay..It sells a ton of parts for extreme low prices. It has a good feedback reviews and it looks legit..but idk. The parts are brand new and unused too. And has a 30 day money back guaranteed deal.

I've bought a spoiler off of eBay from The Spoiler Store for my daughter's Focus. It matched the paint perfectly.
I've bought other things from there from individuals and never had a problem. Just check their ratings/reviews.

Depends on what you are buying.. your question is extremely vague. I hope it's not a "chip".

I bought a lot of parts off E-Bay and never had a problem. One thing to watch out for are the shipping charges......some places have cheap part prices but, they'll get you on their standard shipping charge. So, always look at what they charge to ship.

I bought a ton of stuff on Ebay... rep points are a good indicator of if the seller is trustworthy. I'd buy a M90 off there without even blinking...
