I need some eBay advice fast. Okay, so I'm looking to buy some headlight bulbs for my car and every light bulb that I need is around $68-$73 shipped and all the sellers have like 10,000 feedback. Well, I found an exception with an auction that was just created at midnight and only has 6 views. They are selling it for $55 shipped, so I can save $20. The details are very clear and the owner has 20 feedback but for some reason, my gut tells me to be careful. What do you guys think? I need opinions quick! +KMA is involved!

looks legit. his feedback is good and maybe he didn't look around to see that he could get more for them.

True, he has two auctions with the exact same for both so that kind of rules out that he might have bought them and figured out that they won't fit. It says brand new too... Thanks for the fast reply. +KMA. Anyone else have any quick opinions?

yeah as someone who has feedback in the 20's, I would say that if his feedback is good and the auction looks clean, i would go for it.
some of us rarely sell stuff on ebay but are good sellers )
good luck!

I think it's the person is an honest trader, some people just want to get rid of stuff and don't need to mark it up the highest price. If he jips you I will drive to Frederick and beat him up for you, lol.

Look on his feedback comments on past auctions from users, maybe wrong fit or anything at all wrong with them to look back on. They look superb along with his feedback. I'd get insurance also if I were you lol

I'd pay the extra 13$ And get it from the guy who has 10,000+ Feedback, You get free paypal coverage that way, With under 20 feedback don't think it shows you the Free paypal protection thing on his listing. If you're REALLY tight on money go for the cheaper one.

I suppose I will but the thing is insurance is $10 so I'm not sure. Also, I would just go with the other guys like KnightTrader says but I'm low on cash in my PayPal thanks to Boca Java charging me for some coffee. lol Thanks, everyone!

Follow up edit I bought from that guy with insurance, thanks for suggesting Jeorgius, and he's verifed so I'm good. Thanks.
