I have bought my Cricut and a bunch of carts on Ebay, and have not had any issues. Well that's not true. I have had 2. One seller who is in the same state as I am, and lives about 30minutes away, took a week to send me cart, and I totally missed out on using it for a crop that I had that next weekend. The latest one, is I received a card from the post office stating that I owe 1.02 for shipping on something that I already paid shipping on. The girl wants me to have the post office reweigh it, because she sends them out all the time.
