Default Should I trust eBay?

My tailgate got chainwhipped a while back and I've been putting off getting it repaired or getting a new one because I thought it would be expensive. After looking on eBay, I found one that they will paint for you when you order it for $299. That seems like a pretty good deal. What do you guys think?

I also see an unpainted one on there for like $100, and a primered one for like $150.

Looks like a good deal. I only use paypal when I buy stuff on ebay it's safer.

Seems legit, they have at least made 98.8% of the people happy. I wouldn't be too scared.

I bought a bumper cover from them for my daughters car. Fit perfect. They used to offer installation too, but cut that service awhile back.

Could you let us know how their paint job turns out?

Im ready to buy a painted front bumper from them, but $265 seems a little on the cheap side so Id hate to get something full of drips and orange peel

I trust eBay, but i will say this. my neighbor bought a tailgate for his f250 from ebay and it was like 100 bucks or something and the first time he stepped on it bent in the middle. He's not even fat....

It will probably be several weeks before I can get the money for it but when it comes in I'll let you guys know! Broke college kid here! haha
I got a price quote at a body shop to repair my current tailgate and they say like $400. That makes the tailgate seem kinda iffy?
