Some ebay sellers...

[GrandPrixGTP1]

I've sold plenty of things on ebay and once USPS lost my package. $80.00 gaming ram. I go the guy to wait it out for a bit but finally refunded him. I had tracking but no insurance on it so the USPS didn't owe me a dime. So now anytime I ship anything over 50 bux it gets insured. 2 months later i get my package back in a bag with no ram inside. !

Thats sooo chincey. woww

Ebay can be hit and miss. My brother wanted a aftermarket headlight housings for his Neon a few years back. He didn't want to make an Ebay account just to get them so he gave me the money and asked me to get them for him with my account.

Long story short, used Buy It Now, paid immediately, two weeks later no lights. I messaged them askign what the deal was and they said "Oh we're out of stock on those right now", yet they had 20 other auctions up for the same lights. I ripped into them in my response. I had my refund 20 minutes later and found other lights with a different seller. I had those 5 days later.

I would venture a guess that the "all the gauges were broken" was just an excuse because they didn't actually have them.
