Re: Vent regarding ebay buyer
That is horrible. I have many similar stories. One involves a NOS 69 voltage regulator. I took a picture unopened, then multiple pictures opened. the buyer hooks it up and says it does not charge. I told him it is no longer NOS and he cannot return it. he files a ebay claim and the same result happens as above. It has sat on my desk as a reminder for the last 2 years. I bet if I test it, it will work great.
On the other hand, there are a lot of ebay sellers that are unscroupulous. I cannot tell you how many times I have bought BBC factory intakes that have "no cracks" that end up having a crack or more around the outer runner mounting bolts. Most times, the seller tells me to get bent. I am not the one who said there were, "no cracks". Best case scenario, I have to repack the intake and send it back for a refund less return shipping due to their mistake.
Jim, I think most here know you are a great seller that stands behind his product and does what is right. I know you are, we have done a bit of business. When a customer changes the product, the lines get blurred. Ebay looks out for the buyer, period. In most cases this is good since many seller's are less than honest and it encourages bidding. With a now 12.5% rake between Ebay and paypal, they should look to help both sides.
Sorry for your PIA,
Jason
