200 fenders bought on ebay -- only slightly rooked

couv · May 7, 2010

The fenders look okay, were in the conditon described, but the u-bolts were not included.

Funny, the seller just couldn't get around to shipping the fenders until the ad was removed from ebay. Then he shipped them

Now I can't go back and look at the pictures to see if he showed the u-bolts. Oh well, who said "Buyer, be ware !"

ebay is getting worse and worse...

If you had a transaction on a item, you should be able to bring the item and picture back up after its gone off.

I bought some items for my 140 on ebay. The add said they would fit a 140 but they were not even close.

couv; D Slater is correct. If you deleted everything; do a search for your item and on the left side of the ebay page, click the 'completed items'. You will see several items listed and pick the link to your item. I don't delete ebay transactions even after I've received them. You probably already followed the advice, but always pay w/PayPal or credit card as you have recourse if the item isn't what the seller claimed. Is this for your 340? Good luck with this matter.

I haven't bought or even looked at items on Ebay for years now for the reason noted. Just to much involved to think of everything that needs to be asked when looking or trying to view a picture when something is purposely hidden. I would rather deal with the folks here on YTmag in the classified and photo ads for my needs as I have had very good luck with the folks who advertise here on the forum. I would suggest you do review the buyer/seller feedback for comments but the "bad apples" come to light fairly quickly. Hope it works out for you as getting the u-bolts by themselves will probably be difficult. Sort of like the issue I had with the glass jar air cleaner I purchased with no clamp which was photographed so you couldn't have seen if it had a clamp or not. Needless to say I have bought nothing from that seller since. Good luck and too bad about your issue, Hal.

U bolts for the fenders on a Farmall C through 230 are available for around $16 each.

I had a bad experence with ebay also. Bought a glass jar air cleaner that the picture showed a real small dent which could be fixed very easy so I bought it and when he shipped it the other side that you didn't see was all caved in. I gave him a neutral response and a day later he gave me a negative for it because he said he showed that it had a dent. If you read a lot of the adds they either don't know anything about these tractors or they are just sneaky. They will advertise items like a clutch pedal for m thru 560. Well M and SMTA are different and SMTA and 400/450 are different. So someone that doesn't know his tractors could order an item and it could be wrong. I see this a lot on ebay. Don't shop there much anymore. I sure don't trust pictures anymore.

I only buy items from ebay that include the part number in the description. I then reference the number with the case web site. There are two companies I have bought from one is plowboy equipment and the other is tractor parts 24/7. These guys are great to deal with, new parts and super fast shipping.
