Hello has anyone bought anything from German ebay?
I might be getting a set of lights from it and I was wondering how transactions went and communication with the seller went.
(I want M3 smoked rears, Ecosse have discontinued them as well as them being a rip off)

The rears on the 207 came from ebay Germany, Tbh I think it's the same chance as ebay England !
Mine turned up within days and cost a lot less then the English versions

It's just the different language thing. I'll send them a wee email and see if they understand me. Should do, its only us English speaking people who are lazy and generally stick to learning our own language.
Being Northern Irish I can't speak half english

I use it quite often for hard to find German car parts. I've had a lot less problems on ebay.de than UK ebay and they seem a lot more genuine.
If I need to ask a question I use online translators and explain that I don't speak German. You can even translate the pages easy enough.

I'd expect it to be more efficient since it's German

German efficiency isn't all it is cracked up to be. I've manage to get through three German OEM speedo cables in 18 months, the last one only managing 300 miles! That is not efficient...
