I have bought from newegg and and other online retailers as well as ebay and never had any problems with my items being DOA. Maybe I will get a bad item some day, and I will be more cynical, but in my opinion there is more risk with ebay, because there isn't as much you can do to hold the seller "joe schmoe from jersey" liable as you can with newegg.com.

Also, I paid a total of $111.49 on ebay and received my item in 2 days.

If you want to make a big deal about getting it for 109.99 and 3 day delivery, then I'm glad you could possibly save 2 bucks.

Newegg does 3 day guaranteed shipping. People closer to the warehouse get it in 2 days.

Newegg = 30 days.

I HATE eBay? Now hold on

Just this year I think I've bought 6 items already. You can't find any cheaper and crappier Toyota Parts

But no, I don't hate eBay, cause I'm buying new rotors and trunk struts and shocks and a welding kit offa there soon

i think your system build looked great!

when you buy from ebay, i owuld buy from a " ebay store " you will find people have a better return policy. also if you pay with " pay-pal " you file a dispute you either get a working part of you get your money back pretty simple if you ask me.. but thats just my opinion

But it takes time. I've had to do that last week. Took like a week for them to sort out.
