I bought a cheap compressor from ebay for under $200. It seems to work ok but have anybody used for awhile and encountered any issues? If so what were they?

Don't let it get too hot and give it ample time to cool down between fills. If you can get an external fan blowing on/through it, that will help keep it cool and extend its life. I think the rule of thumb is don't exceed 60°C. I fill my guns directly so I rarely break 50°.
Aside from that, those compressors are generally throw aways. Use it till it breaks and then replace it. Some compressors like the Yong Hengs have rebuild kits and parts readily available though. If you're mechanically inclined, they are repairable.

Don't you think it might help to give more info? How can you expect relevant answers & advice without knowing what you're talking about. Doesn't make sense.

Agreed. There’s some really trashy compressors out there that are lucky to run an hour or two.
