Anybody ever order blades from Ebay?

I see things like this all of the time, but you know the saying, if it is too good to be true.........

Well, in a way I’m not surprised. Blades made in India sent from India. But one does wonder what the profit margins are, especially since they ship for free…

Happened to be browsing blades on Amazon earlier, and noticed that for just a couple of bucks more ($10.85), you can get 100 Astra Stainless Steel blades with Prime shipping. Personna lab blues also usually sell there for about $11–12 for 100 blades, Prime shipping included. Sometimes there are actual good deals to be made, especially with DE blades.

Your only getting 30 blades. Read the description. Very deceiving.

Good catch! The main heading says “100 pcs,” yet the description says “you will receive 30 … blades”. Scammers, they’re everywhere.

I think they meant to say 100% not 100 pcs. But still on purpose. Nothing gets buy me.

If anything from out of the USA is wrong I quick buy it then when I receive it I complain and either get a refund or ebay pays me back. I've given China a light beating already. It's payback from out 500 billion dollar trade deficit.

I've ordered both GSB and AstraSP off eBay with no issues. I'm picky though and will scrutinize everything. Must be a reputable seller I've dealt with before. Might pay a couple dollars extra than other sellers but I prefer the peace of mind.

Be careful though. There are counterfeit blades all over eBay. Make sure what your getting!

Good Ebay service for Astra SP from the US. I have a trusted seller I like from Moscow who is honest and packs well & ships right away for Voskhods/Rapira. Once you find a good one stick with them.

I've ordered from eBay before. Not from that seller. I am so stockpiled though I don't think I will be buying many DE blades any time soon.

There is a guy on Reddit in Sweden I believe. I bought a ton of Kai and Bolzano blades from him about a month ago. The shipping was a bit slow but everything arrived in good order and very aggressively priced.

I couldn't pass up the offer.

The Bolzano blades are outstanding too. I hadn't used one in over a year due to their price everywhere else. I am using one this week and am looking forward to seeing how it holds up in the stamina department. If it makes it to Saturday like my regular favorites I'll be in for more.

I have bought vintage blades on eBay. But I only buy when I already know and trust the seller or when they have a feedback rating of 99% or higher. And I always read the listing several times, very carefully, to make sure I understand exactly what is being offered.
