trustworthy ebay seller

[KiLLa_B]

Hey everyone, im wondering if anyone knows of any trusted sellers or stores on ebay for vape stuff. I know theres a lot of fake junk floating around ebay and I hate having to try and figure out whats fake and whats not. Id like to find either an ebay store or specific seller with lots of products whose legit. Id like to be able to browse different items without the fear of if I order something it being crap. I dont like to have to search for specific items and then decipher what listings of that product I should trust. The idea of ordering directly from vape websites doesnt float my boat either. I KNOW the same exact products they sell can be had for considerably cheaper on ebay, I just need to find who on ebay to get them from. All help is appreciated

Also I have ordered quite a few things from different sellers and stores on ebay and ive had deceny luck. I was only skeptical about one of my shipments, a 5 pack of "genuine" kangertech t2 tanks. The inconsistency between design and build quality from one tank to the next in the same pack was astounding, thus why I believe I got duped on that order. I want to get some goodies with my next paycheck and I dont want to be disappointed again or spend a whole lot of money <--(the whole reason I use ebay). The idea of searching and cross checking tens to hundreds of ebay listings really turns me off. Ok I guess this is enough of a novel for u guys so far lol. Anxiously waiting to read replies!

I've not used ebay much for vaping goods ... but a good vendor that is inexpensive and carries brand name (and clones are clearly marked) is: Driving down the cost of vaping! - 101 Vape

I don't have a favorite but only choose ones that has a top seller high rating. So far so good - always prompt shipment and as advertised product.

Can't get into my ebay account to look up who I purchased from for you, because they require updated password and I am not getting their email (not in my spam filter either) for updated handshake.

I haven't had any problem with eBay , If they were to send me a fake I would just greave it and send it back .
One trick is to have it be Free shipping this was they will need to send you a prepaid shipping label .
Haven't had a fake yet .

Just bought a panzer mech from eBay, and it wasn't as described, no locking ring no adjustable floating pin. Seller is trying to jack me around on return shipping. I would only buy from top rated plus unlike what I did.

In the UK, ebay is often the same price as online Vendors, so in general there is no advantage to using ebay. Add to that the fact that in the UK ecigs are actually not permitted, the attraction is even less.
Actually, it would be fair to say that on UK forums, using ebay is considered foolish.
Saving £2 on a £40 mod and having (possibly) less buyer protection is false economy. ebay sellers don't have a reputation to protect. The best online vendors do.
I do not use ebay. Then again, when I started vaping there was nothing (zero items) on there, so ordering from an online Vendor is the "norm" for us in the UK.

The thing im tryin to stray away from with ebay is having to cross check sellers and things like that. When I used to buy a lot of electronics and car stereo items off ebay there were ebay store that I could browse thru and look at what all they had and not have to worry because I knew it was a trusted seller (I guess if ebay gives you your own ebay store then youd have to be trustworthy) thats what im looking for, an ebay store for vape stuff where I can browse different items offered by said store. I dont like to search for specific items because im not entirely sure what i want till I see it

I bought my MVP 2 Energy on Ebay. At the time it was the lowest price I could find. I haven't really had any problems buying from Ebay stores. The only problems I have had are from private individuals and then only a few instances. Even buying from China sellers has been satisfactory. I do check feedback ratings and if it is fairly expensive, I look for "Authentic" and "With scratch-off serial number code" or similar.

Not really. Anyone with a seller account can have an ebay store. You just have to pay a monthly fee for it. As far as someone being a top rated seller...well that does not always mean they are "trustworthy." Top rated seller status is achieved by having a certain amount of sales in a specific time frame. On top of that feedback and seller ratings are also a factor. The thing is everything has a work around with the exception of their feedback score. Example: If a seller offers free shipping then a buyer does not have the option to score the shipping when leaving feedback. As long as the seller pays for shipping label and submits tracking info to ebay within 2 days of payment received then ebay will automatically give them a 5 star review for the shipping on that transaction. The problem with that is a seller can pay for and print shipping label that day but may not ship your item for....lets say 5 days.

So a sellers ratings and status do not always mean the are a good seller. Another thing to keep an eye on is if a seller lists ALL their auctions as private. Many sellers do this so that when negative feedback is given there is no way for a potentially new customer to see what item the negative feedback was for. At the end of the day buying on ebay is always a gamble just like selling is (I mark all of my items with a pen that only show up under a UV light. That way if buyer returns a knock off version I will know it was not what I sent them.)

I just purchased a hanna mod DNA 20 clone for a good price from ebay. The seller is in Israel and he shipped very quickly registered mail. My package is due to arrive tomorrow a cording to tracking. He was helpful and answered all my questions. He has two left to sell last I checked. Comes with the ability to use 18650 battery as well. It's a brand new item and he sent several photos. Seems very legit. If your looking for something like a hanna mod DNA 20 I'd recommend him. He's clear it is a clone however it has the trademark on it still. His last two colors are black I believe but could be wrongood on that. You can make a best offer and see if he accepts. That's what I did and got mine under list price. I can find the seller name if your interested. I Think he is only selling some mods right now. But you might want to check it out and if your looking for something like that make a offer. Best wishes.

... I dont like to search for specific items because im not entirely sure what i want till I see it

Browse larger online retailers and then search on ebay ... Most of the ebay listings, for even good shops, are horrible descriptions, lousy pics with often inaccurate details and all that rot. Seriously, ebay for the most part is not usually up to par.

Also of note, some of the feedback from a larger retailers may be helpful in understanding how some of this works. (not saying that customer feedback on a product should be even moderately considered as purchasing advise.) Several list warnings and additional matched item pairings etc that will help speed up your buying decisions ...

Transaction count is a good rule of thumb, but I have a few boxes on Ebay, which are excellent. Customers have been grateful with my help, and quickness to ship. So the number of transactions shouldn't be the only factor in customer service!
