Buying from eBay

[Mike_1980]

Hi,

I’m not entirely sure I’m posting this in the right place. I haven’t been in here for a while.

I wanted to buy some of my favourite juice, which I have just found out is half the price from many sellers on eBay.

The sellers seem legit with thousands of positive feedback, yet when I research online, there are so many people saying not to buy anything vaping off eBay!?

I was going to order from these sellers: ‘Onlineshoppingwarehouse’ and ‘Vapeworld’. Anyone have any experience?

I've bought juice and pre made coils from Ebay and found them to be good. I suppose it's just a lottery sometimes but I'd say just be careful. I know it can be cheaper specially for the bigger 150 ml bottles but obviously if something is very very cheap it's probably bad quality.

Buy what you like, you are covered by PayPal who will always take buyers side in dispute

you check their feedback & initially buy in small quantities at first to be safe, before committing to larger order(s)

most are simply re-sellers, sure there are some iffy sellers of snide or clone stuff on fleabay
but if you research a bit, check feedback and test the water with a smallish order first you reduce any real risks
(well everything is a risk buying stuff, especially online)

There are quite a few good sellers specialising in vape stuff
& some fairly decent general re-sellers who buy in bulk from official companies
alas there are the odd number of knock off fleabay sellers, but most established ones maintain good standards

If you know what you are buying, from reputable sellers, ebay is still a good place to buy from imho

This is what I’m saying though. The juice I want to buy is a line from ‘The Yorkshire Vaper’. So I know it’s a quality juice. It just costs £20 in my local shop and £10 on eBay! How on earth can they sell it that cheap and they eBay seller has over 130,000 positive feedback?!

I would be asking myself the question
How come everyone online can sell it for £20 but this guy can sell it for half price ?

I have found this also, the shop I went to were quite highly priced for something that I got online for half the price but I put it down to the shops overheads and stuff and maybe online vendors buy stock in bigger bulk so can pass on savings.

Exactly

Washington Vapes has YV juices for a similar price, so it is possible to sell at that price, and if you're still not comfortable, buy from WV.

ELFC sells 30ml one shots, which make 150ml, for £12 which works out even cheaper.

I know & understand the concerns

but a bloke has bought Gaffer Butterscotch & left feedback

this was about a dozen fucking pages of feedback ffs back, but like I said research etc.......

everything is a gamble, could be snide, could be short sell by date, could be legit blah blah blah.....

edit - yes I know the starred out actual name is not a 101% match but fleabay hides the names/history crap
been like this for about 5 years now - used to be able search advanced for any seller's recent history of items
but they restricted displaying users info/purchase history

I'm 99.999999999999% (don't get me started on percentages)
I'm pretty sure it is same person leaving feedback

I bought a few things from eBay when I started. It was fine. It is a lottery though and you can’t guarantee it’s 100%.
Then I joined here, found vendors I like and some great bargains too and have no need for it at all.

Stick around, check the reputable vendor lists, see what others here are buying and you may be surprised at the quality you can buy at very good prices!
