A few years back eBay seemed to have farm tractor related parts and machinery. I remember scrolling down on some eBay page and thinking "well looky there, a set of lift-arm latches" Maybe bid, maybe buy. I probably bot 250 items from hitch pins to a complete 3-point for a 656. Either eBay does not have such listings now or I haven't found them recently. Am I missing something or are parts, manuals, and tools not on there any longer?

eBay sellers list whatever they think will sell.
If it doesn't sell, they stop listing it.
There are still tractor parts out there.
Many Tisco dealers post there for new parts.
Shipping and fees kill the deal on lots of used parts.
Same deal on Amazon. They're just auction/sale barns.

Their search engines dont pull things up like they used to, I think they tweak them to powersellers. You have to look through a lot of items to find what used to just pop up. I have searched for some things and it would pull totally nonrelated items up.
Best way to find parts is use a lot of key words in the search bar.
That is why sometimes you see an item with words in the description that don't really match that item but a person searching a word that is used will come across it.
I sold a plastic model.
I listed it as a Chevy and a Chevrolet along with the manufactures name and plastic model kit and the model car and year it was along with the scale it was in.
The only bad part was I listed it with free shipping to US and the buyer was in Alaska.
Who would of thought.
Now I list free shipping to lower US 48 states only.

Ebay has changed their listings system a bunch compared to a few years back and made it a lot harder to find what you want. As others have said, searching for a specific item is your best bet. I look at chainsaws there most every day, specifically used chainsaws in running condition and no matter what area I search in, I get a lot stuff that doesn't come close to what I'm looking for. You'd think looking under "Chainsaws, used" would get you used chainsaws. Nope!

Ebay doesn't sell anything its self its just an on line consignment auction whatever the sellers lists it sells.

Ebay is a venue only. Ebay has nothing for sale, other than space on a website. The items listed for sale are from folks like you and me who have purchased some webspace from Ebay. When you buy an item, you bought it from the person who rented some space. You did not buy it from Ebay.

If anything, Ebay has MORE listings for tractor parts than ever.
Usually you can just drop an OEM part number in the search and find exactly what you need.
One thing I have noticed is fewer whole tractors. My thought on this is prices were low. I bought two tractors off Ebay and in both cases I paid what I thought was an EXCELLENT price for what I got.

I've bought and sold on ebay a lot over the years. Ebay is trying to become more like amazon and less the "yard sale of the internet" that it used to be. Their policies and listing system have made it less efficient and desirable for small/individual sellers to post used/unique items and have really shifted towards wholesalers of manufactured goods. The individual sales of unique/used items are still there but the volume has greatly decreased. I think most of those items have gone to local craigslist ads.
Sometime it's good that you get mixed items in a search. I was looking for a tractor magneto and there was an old wooden box telephone. It has a magneto in it apparently. To make a long story short it is hanging on my wall. There weren't many tractor guys looking for a telephone.

I used to sell parts on eBay but the prices gradually dropped to the point it wasn't worth the trouble. gm
bcdave! That is just the thing for talking catfish. into coming up to the top, so you can pick them up with a dip net. Of course that is kind of like moonshining, and is frowned on. by the authorities. I have thrown 3 telephones, out of the boat , at Grafton Ill. Wardens boat could out run my little 25 horse. but I was clean , when they checked me.

I have purchased about 300 items on ebay the last few years, mostly model trains and layout kits. Into building relic ships now, Nina, Pinta, Santa Maria, and Mayflower; Nina and Santa Maria finished; other two hull planking finished.
I bought other things including farm equipment and parts. Still on there you just have to be careful how you ask the question if you don't find what you are looking for. Ask it different ways with different words and see if that helps. It helps me. In all those purchases, not one has turned out to be a bummer. Only a couple of disputes and ebay came through with the right answer.

I am really glad so many have trouble finding stuff on ebay.
As it means that many fewer competing bidders for me, LOL.

Ebay is still using PayPal. For international sales they are going to use Adyin (can't remember correct spelling)
I have bought hundreds of items from E-bay I have purchased items I would never have found any where else in a thousand years. can only remember getting burnt once and it was my own fault I didn't read the description of the item good enough. The things I have purchased I could never have gotten from Amazon. I really enjoy going back in time and looking at things I had when I was a kid and have purchased some of them too. You can search many different ways to find what your looking for and buy them if your willing to spend the cash.
