Buying shoes on Ebay

asdflkijd · 10-06-2008, 06:23 PM

Is there anybody on here that shops for shoes on Ebay? I've heard that you can get them for relatively cheaper, just have to make sure you are buying the right ones... Some advice would be great, like what to look for, how to spot a fake, sketchy sales etc... Thanks!

also, I wonder if the BIN microsoft live discount would work on them.
Peter,

feedback is important! and how the shoes are selling for if they are way cheap and you know they are hard to find and valued alot more then the seller is selling you know they are fake. I have a ebay store and sell alot of shoes jordans dunks vans. I'm a powerseller and my feedback is what keeps people buying from me.

I would not buy shoes off ebay, think about it. every shoe is made a little different, some shoes I wear a 10 1/2 others 11, and have even stepped up to a 11 1/2 in dress shoes. Its always better to try a pair on and walk in them to see how they feel.

I know your gonna say, I tried them on in a retail store and know what size I need, but why do you think they are cheaper on ebay. Size is off a bit, stitches are off a bit ect.

Just my .02 of opinion on buying clothing and shoes from ebay sellers.

Feedback is really important. I've bought shoes off ebay(not expensive ones) and saved a lot of money. If you buy from a private seller, good luck. Buy from stores.

i also want to vent out

, i missed the bidding on this used E90 rogue IKON muffler for $192.50 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=120311786678.

sorry its a little off-topic about "ebay shoes" but "ebay in general" instead...

My daughter buys a bunch of shoes from zappos. They have a great return policy and free shipping...

Tondtar · 10-06-2008, 11:20 PM

I have bought several shoes from eBay power sellers and am a happy customer. You can find some great deals sometimes. Check "Virtual Exchange" and "Shoe Metro". They are both reputable shops carrying name brands like Diesel, Puma, Kenneth Cole, etc.

I've bought many pairs of shoes on eBay.

Seller: Grapevinehill FTMFW!

I dont buy anything through ebay. Fuck that shit. The majority of the stuff being sold is fake, especially through the high volume sellers. Even the ones with 100% feedback are coutnerfeiters; the people leaving feedback are just too stupid to know theyre getting ripped off.

+1 Zappos.com

I bought a pair of shoes from there. Free shipping, free returns. The pair I bought didn't fit right, so I returned them and got another pair.

You, literally, could buy 10 pairs, and then return 9. Or return them all.

Decent prices, much cheaper than walk-in stores. I saved a lot of money.

Neil · 10-07-2008, 07:00 PM

Grapevinehill is amazing. I've bought $900 RLPL shoes on there for less than $300. I probably have $3000 worth of shoes that I've bought off eBay and paid less than $600 total for them all. They have caught on however and most of their better shoes now have higher starting bids or are buy it now only.

Zappos is a good web store with superb shipping but their prices aren't that great if you are looking for a bargain.
