Default Ebay buying? (Maf Sensor)

Im trying to fix my car, it will turn off when decelerating and shifting from 2nd to 1st. The rpms will bounce and sometimes will shut off. Idle is fine and when driving is fine. If i give the car some gas the bouncing will stop.

Ive checked the codes and i have a maf sensor code. I cleaned the maf and its not as bad. A new maf sensor from the part store is 100+ and non returnable being that its electronic. I see ebay has them for a lot cheaper but ive never heard of the brands.

Has anyone had any experience with these?

Buying off FeePay (from an established seller) is fine, but I would stay away from the off-brand replacements. Many people have had problems with them and ended up having to replace them with either an AC Delco or Delphi. Get one of those to start with and save yourself some time and a headache.

Buy it anywhere you want but get a name brand part.
