I've bought one on ebay also and it worked great. I did have to pay the dealer to program it though.

I bought a couple for our superduty work truck off ebay from a guy in Tulsa, he even sent programming instructions, very easy to do

it was dirt cheap, also

You have answered your on question...if you clicked the buy it now you have entered into a contract. This is where honesty and integrity kicks in. JMHO.

but he didnt have his name on his seller contact thing is was his screen name and address should i go ahead and still do it

When you click "Buy it Now" you tell the seller, "ok, i want your product now, so i will pay for it NOW" So yeah, you are required to pay and he is required to ship it to you, and you will be in a big load of $#*^ if you don't

How do you program these things?

krazy_texan · 03-24-2008, 08:57 AM

that all depends on what it is for if it is for a ford i know that all you do is turn the key in the ignition back and forth until the door locks spazz out on you and its done but no matter what you have your owner manual should tell you how to do it

I don't know about Fords but my new Chevy can only be done by a dealer It takes a special code That's what all the Key shops are griping about.

I agree. You MUST pay for it after clicking the buy it now. It is considered a contract once you do. If either of you voids the contract you will have a lot of trouble that you don't need or want. I say just pay him, and if he doesn't hold up his end, HE will be the one that has to deal with eBAy. ...Joe
