I imagine I'm not allowed the post the link. But from what I've seen I've narrowed it down to what looks like a good deal on a couple. But I want to see if anyone has been burned by buying an eBay boat cover? Anything to make sure to look for?

I see (or know of) any problem posting the link :confused:
As far as Ebay buying you always take a chance :(
I've bought & sold on Ebay for yrs & the law of averages are on your side BUT i NEVER buy without checking sellers feedback!! If it's not 100% i read to find out why & then make up my own mind weather to use them or not :confused:
FWIW- after a couple thousand transactions there i can say i've never really been stung- little disaponted a few times- but never really stung :cool:

I don't worry about the sellers as long they have good feedback, however the quality of the product is always of concern when buying on ebay. I'm not sure about boat covers but often times when you find products much cheaper on ebay there is a reason.

What's the warranty? Return Policy? Ebay is where many people get rid of old stock or factory seconds..... no thanks.

Have you checked iboats? Have you spoke to the customer service people?

Hey I had great luck with a Wal-Mart cover so I think you'll do alright.

It's not so much the seller I'm worried about. It's more a crappy cover messing up my boat. Is that something real to be worried about?
