So since there has been quite a bit news in the past couple years about batteries being recalled and catching fire, I was wondering if it was safe to buy batteries on ebay. I was thinking about replacing my phone battery since it has lost quite a bit of life, and the batteries are fairly cheap on ebay. Didn't know if anyone has had any experience doing this or can give me some insightful information. Thanks.
 
I say go for it. As long as you do your homework (properly) beforehand, you could get a lot of OEM products for a fraction of their retail prices.

As for a specific seller to look for, choose a PowerSeller that deals primarily with cell phones and their accessories. (Chances are, they also have a standalone online retail site... you may want to check them out as well.)
 
Check out sellers named "Battery Boy" (over 124,000 feedbacks) and mdbattery (over 38,000 feedbacks).

I have purchased from both. I sell on Ebay under Henry4994(over 860 feedbacks).
