Ebay advise on springs I won for $15 dollars

Just wanted to vent for now and maybe get a few suggestions from you guys

So I won an auction for 350Z springs. No reserve, ended up winning them for a whopping $15.50. Seller is reputable, will hold off on the name for now.

Before the auction was over this seller responded to my emails right away. Now it's been a day and a half and no response to my email request to him to confirm shipping price, etc.

If I don't pay within 48 hours I'll get neg feed back. If I pay him, I might not get my product since he's not responding.

I'm wondering if this has anything to do with the low price the auction closed at. What would you do? TIA guys.


On a side note, I got my OEM 19's painted gunmetal by a pro body shop, they look amazing....255/35 front and 265/35 rear. Will post pics tonight!!!

See if your protected by eBay if you don't receive the item. If you are, then pay.

just pay the guy but pay through paypal. If he does not send the product then paypal as a dispute center. Which works, cause I have disputed before and got my money back.

It's $15....for springs. Just pay and if he doesn't ship, file a dispute through paypay and get your money back.

Did you score a hell of a deal? Or did you buy some cheap springs?

You know what's worse? I got paid 122.50 for an item. The guy claims he didn't receive it. Ebay agreed with him. The post office said he got it. I lost my item and 122.50$

Oh for sure, it's not the 15 bux I'm worried about, it's the $40-50USD shipping that was estimated.

I wanted a definate number confirmed, to make sure both parties are satisfied....for example I wouldn't want him to loose out, or not ship it because it wasn't enough for example.

BTW they were 2004 OEM 350Z springs, with the rear compression joints (I believe). I don't know if they were revised or not, but for $15 who cares, I don't have the revised spring rate anyways.

Cheers

You do realize that will drop your coupe like .5"...hardly even worth the trouble to be honest.

Revised 350z springs are exactly the same as some of the coupe sport springs. They wouldn't lower one of those at all.
