Most will say Ebay is you get what you pay for. If you want to be the first person to try it go ahead.

41 bucks for shipping... seems like its being shipped from overseas... good luck getting a hold of someone over seas to honor the warranty.

they ship from CA, $140 for HID's is really cheap, but don't know if they will last or not.

Agreed - But why do think the Item Location isn't specified. People will rarely buy from a seller if there Location is outside the US.

"Item location: WHOLE SALE, United States"

And the shipping charge of 41 bucks sounds about right to ship anywhere in the US from China.

A lot of sellers on ebay don't specifiy where they are, but you can usually tell by where they charge sales tax. They have some sort of storefront buisness in CA or they would not have to charge sales tax.

I find that the feedback will tell you if you can trust the seller or not. This seller has over 10,000 feedback and 100% positive, it's a safe bet that the product is ok.

Location aside, I think it pretty messed up to charge 41 bucks for USPS priority shipping when it actually should cost no more than 7 bucks. For 41 bucks, shipped within the US it better be Same Day Delivery or Next Day before Noon.

Understand that it could be compensating for lowering the product price to make it more appealing to the customer, but seriously, sellers should be honest and not beat around the bush.

the sellers do this to get around paying soo much for ebay fees. They only have to pay fees on the purchase price not on shipping cost.

You should pay your dues, where dues need to be paid... Sellers shouldn't cheat the system... Karma is a B1tch!

Happens all the time, the seller would tell you that ebay charges too much. Either way it's gonna cost you the same.

Agreed... Being a business man myself who follows the rules, I hate when people try to cut corners.

You guys clearly have missed how absurd ebay fees have gotten, I'm shocked people still use it honestly. At the rate theyre going, ebay will be gone in a year.

Frankly, I dont blame the guy.

and @rockbrawler884, good luck with that business who doesnt try to maximize profits....

I don't sell on ebay, so I don't know how much it is. I do know that I can find almost anything I want on there for a good price.

I've heard of people getting these ebay kits and have no problems but when it comes time for new bulbs or to replace a ballast, they are impossible to find.
