Cheap Saddles For Sale, New and Used

Buying a saddle on eBay - check the description for:

Is the saddle new or used?

Are there several clear pictures of the saddle?

If the seller claims the saddle is a certain brand or make, do the photos show a stamp or other mark on the saddle to back up their claim?

Does anything come, or not come, with the saddle? For example, stirrups, latigos, billets, breast collars, back cinches, etc. may or may not be part of the sale. Read the description carefully so you know exactly what you are, and are not, getting.

If the saddle is used, it is reasonable to assume that it may have some defects of some kind. The seller should clearly describe any scratches, scuffs, tears, stains, etc., and show them in the pictures if possible.

What will the shipping charges be?

What methods of payment does the seller accept?

Check the "Meet the seller" area to view the seller's feedback rating. You can also read any comments left by any buyers that have previously purchased items from that seller.

If you have any questions be sure to ask the seller before you bid. Look for the "Ask seller a question" link in the "Meet the seller area" to ask your questions.

New To eBay?

eBay is famous for its highly successful feedback system. Each item for sale on eBay shows the seller's feedback rating from previous eBay transactions in the "Meet the seller" area:

This number shows how many transactions the seller has had on eBay. Since a seller on eBay can also be a buyer on eBay, this number includes transactions for both buying and selling.
This is the seller's feedback rating. Feedback is left by other people on eBay who have purchased something from, or sold something to, this seller.
You can read comments left by others who have done business with the seller. Tip: When buying something on eBay it's a good idea to read these comments. Make sure any seller you do business with has a lot of positive comments left for them as a seller, not just as a buyer.
You can use this link to contact the seller of the item. Always ask the seller any questions you may have before you bid or buy.
