Default Window tint from ebay?

Just curious, has anyone purchased any tint off of ebay and if so which seller has the best quality? Just want to tint my own car since I have past experience.
Thanks, Jay

Theres good parts on ebay and a lot of crappy parts. Some of the vendors here post their part on ebay. As for tint I wouldnt know. Only tint I got from ebay was some overlays and they were fine.

+1 I saw the dry CF door handle cover with 1x1 weave on ebay. THis was made by a vendor here and when sales here suxed cus no one sane pays 170 for a handle cover they moved it to ebay at 150$. People just refer to ebay like old school K Mart. There just knockin yea cuss you paid less so they must justify why they paid more.

Hey fellas thanks for all the replys, and David you know your crazy man, lol!!!

But all ******** aside, I honestly have never been burnt or purchased anything off of eay that I regret! I guess you guys need to learn how to use user feedback rating as a guide and check feedback on products!

I love ebay and unlike buying from other members on these forums I know I won't get burned on ebay since Im covered with paypal ;-)

So I guess noone has purchased any tint from ebay so I guess Ill have to look into the thickness of the film and what manufacturer they buy from?
Peace!

you gonna do it yourself? Im terrible at it i tinted my bedroom window so it wont be so bright in there and it looks like a blind person did it lmao. It works but man is it ugly. I wouldnt even attempt a car but, im terrible at stuff like that. I just go to the tint place and they use theirs, lifetime warranty on mine.

There are very few things eBay is good for; tint film is definitely not one of them, nor is applying tint a DIY job (or worth the savings for that matter). Get a pro to do it and buy their film. Good luck getting that eBay seller to refund you once your tint turns purple and bubbles off.

I had my windows tinted by a professional shop, and it cost $150 for everything. I don't regret it one bit. If you pay to get it done and it doesn't turn out right, you can ***** until you have it the way you want it. If you mess up with the ebay tint, you're out $25 that could have gone towards it being done right.
