16600 on Ebay

Would guys bid on this SD on Ebay? Or better off with a well known seller on this forum? Thanks.

Vincent

Buy the seller first. And if you have to ask, well more often than not you should pass.
Check out the trusted sellers here.

Only 2 Ebay sellers I would deal with and there both partners and both trusted sellers on here. Watch Chest/Chris Wiley and Jon Todd Sant Blanc. Otherwise you better fully investigate the person your buying from or as people have said hit the for sale forums here plenty of good sellers there.

Astorlive is an incredible seller!! I personally know Kip and they are great guys!!!! And for the record a lot of trusted sellers use Ebay for advertising, so slamming Ebay as a selling forum probably isn't the most appropriate thing to do. Several sellers are very large dealers. Just my 2 cents.

I've bought both ways. I prefer TRF for something I'm not sure about but if there doesn't seem to be an issue with the watch, the bay is fine. I wouldn't have a problem with one though I don't know the seller. You must move with haste to ensure there are no issues upon receipt to ensure you stay within the ebay/pp/sellers guidelines

I agree 100%....tons of people here throw ebay under the bus....stereotypical comments....a couple of bad sellers does not mean everyone is bad on ebay. I have dealt with several trusted sellers on ebay as well as here on the forum....nothing different....they are pleasant to deal with. You just have to do your homework, view feedbacks, and see their inventory.

Dont listen to negative reviews.

Ebay wouldn't exist if it was sellers selling crap. The listing is good, there is a decent description good pictures and the seller has very good feedback 32,000 and only 1 negative.

I say do it, I have bought Rolex's off ebay sellers with 150 feedback with no problems at all!
