its not just the part that sticks to the window, its the actual billet shaft with the swivel parts for adjusting the mirror. the local parts store told him theres no way theyd carry that and he'd have to check with a machine shop.

man ebay has been going waaaaay downhill lately, at least for me.

I bought a battery for my lappy, paid 10 for 2 day shipping, after 5 I emailed the guy and he finally sent them.

Asked a guy to quote shipping from TX to KS, he said 7 bucks, so I bid and won the item for .01 cent and he jacked shipping up to 24 dollars. I said "no, you quoted me 7" and he said "shipping costs a lot more than 7 dollars". I did UPS calc and it was FIVE, so I told him to give me his address and I would send a call tag using my own UPS account, never heard from him again.

Since I didnt get that taillight, I bid on another, won for 3 dollars and 12 shipping. The guy again tried to raise the shipping after the auction, I told him send it or negative, and so he took the bulbs and harnesses out like a prick.

Bid on some pool balls, guys ad says paypal, but he decides at the end that he wont take it. I end up spending about 5 dollars more on a MO and a priority envelope, and he waits three weeks to send them.

Bid on an amplifier, paid, after A MONTH the guy says " oh sorry, I couldnt get out of my driveway" yeah my ass, for a month.

Bid on a set of headlights for my nef, the shipper sends them in their retail box and they show up with the DHL driver shaking glass on my porch from the cracks of the box.

Ebay is turning into a crock of shit, too many moms and pops who dont understand that one of the benefits of internet commerce is the FRICKIN SPEED. They all lay around the house and send payment or product when they want.

ricky you cant do anythign thats why im out 1100 dalla i took it to court and won. what did i get,nothign the courthouse cant do anything the person did not show, by default i won all that happens to him is when he goes to sell his business he has to pay that amount. so if your seller is good guy he will send your part. Other than that you are screwed.

hmm. I bought both a steering wheel and a mirror from that seller. He is busy, thats for sure, but I had no problems with either purchase. SHipping was even fast.
