    2012 Tacoma Trd sport, 10" bulletproof lift with traction bars and icon resi rear shocks, custom headlights and tail lights, 24x14 American force jades,37x13.50x24 Toyo mt, 1" borla wheel spacers, 30" lightbar, new build so more to come come
    So a couple weeks ago one of my friends ran into the back of me with his stinger and dented my tailgate, turns out it's been been repaired with bondo before and I've been quoted over 1500 to fix it because of it. I was looking to see if I could buy a preprinted tail gate and came across this but wasn't sure of the quality, anyone ever buy from this seller before?

    Have you tried Craigslist? I see them on there frequently.

    as the ad says, call and talk to them, get a feel for them.

    double check your paypal policy and ebay policy, and be sure how to remedy things
    if you get boned. casual glance, looks legit aftermarket body shop tailgate replacements

    46460 - 99.8% good feedback, that's pretty dang good for an ebay seller

    This is always one of the first things I check out when buying from an ebay seller. I also look at the feedback to see exactly what it was that was sold. I look for something that I am interested in to see what quality it is.

    yes craggys is a complete risk. sometimes you get awesome deals (snowblower for super cheap and works great, also
    lifecycle watts trainer for 200 bucks, guy didn't know what he had, he was rich wanted to get rid of it, it was a $2000 pro unit)

    Ditto to all the warnings about Craigslist. Lots of Tacoma tailgate thieves. There's a huge thread at this site dedicated to just that.

    As to the buyer approval of ebay sellers - percentage ratings - beware of this also. Lots of sleeve bag auto parts sellers there with high ratings. View all of the negative and neutral ratings over all periods covered.
