Default SERPENTINE BELT REPLACEMENT NEED HELP....how difficult to do myself?

Whats up fellas. Just wondering how hard it would be to replace my Serpentine Belt. I got a quote for $200 sounded high. Also I was thinking about buying my parts online through ebay or somewhere any recommendations. Here's the one I'm looking at ordering let me know if I should steer clear lol no pun intended or not.

Man seriously Im not even a master mechanic or anything and I changed the serpentine belt on my own trust me you can do it you just have to release the belt tensioner and it falls right off follow the graphic on the hood or where ever it is on putting it back and thats it I think i saw a thread on here on how to do it or I might have made one awhile back asking the same question as you lol but if you want to save money handle it yourself

ive never seen that brand of belt personally but imo for that price go to your local parts store and get a gator belt for like 25-30 bucks and not have to wait for it to come in. also check your tensioner to make sure it spins freely, when i did my belt i had to go back to the parts store and get one cause it turned like a caveman rock wheel the bearings were so bad,
