eBay sellers....

[USMCbassman]

This has been discussed within various threads throughout the board so I though why not co-locate them.

I have many sellers saved in "my eBay" for various items or I've had really good experiences using them.

I'm sure many of us are sketchy about making purchases on eBay (I am!); if they're a seller I haven't used before they better have a feedback rating of 99.1% or higher before I'll even consider using them and no more than one negative feedback in the last 6 months. If they have 1 or more and I can read between the lines (e.g. someone complaining about something stupid; oh it shipped a day later than it was suppose to) I might considering purchasing from them.

With that said here are a few of the sellers I've either used more than once or have had really good experiences with (i.e. solid communication, super fast shipping, beyond reasonable shipping rates and/or prices for that matter, etc):

Simmons Sporting goods (always have Kistler rods on sale and will combine shipping on more than one rod, shipping rates are reasonable and good communications)

Minstor Tackle (This dude is in the Phillipines, has great prices on his gear, and super, super quick shipping. I ordered a reel from him, 32 bucks less than retail, BNIB and had it in 3 days at his "regular" and fair shipping price)

Brad at JBC Outfitters (cheap tackle prices on "big name" stuff, super quick shipping and combines shipping. Example: I ordered 8 R2S cranks from him, only paid 3 something in shipping and had it in just a matter of a couple of days)

Disclaimer: I do not receive anything from any of the sellers above for doing this. They are not aware of me doing this, I am NOT sponsored or affiliated with any of them. If you decide to do business with one of the above sellers and your transaction does not go as smoothly I can't be held responsible

Who do you use and have had good luck with?

My point behind this is, as a whole, it may save someone from being burnt in the end. Granted there are a lot of measures put in place to protect the buyer and seller, but some still slip through the cracks.
