A Good Treatise in Buyer Beware

I guess it reinforces the phrase "Caveat Emptor"

Great info, Dick. Very helpful.
I will put an attachment of my prior comments concerning the changes at eBay since former CEO Meg Whitman left.
By the way, today's current eBay stock price is $13.02, and sellers are still leaving in droves, but the board still hasn't figured out what's wrong. Ridge

"Donald, many experienced eBay sellers feel that eBay is slowing starting to fall into the downward swirling motion, that is reminiscent of when one flushes a toilet.


How this affects Corvette owners, is that many, many sellers are now leaving eBay. What used to be a fairly competitive marketplace for vintage and NOS Corvette parts, will be much less competitive with fewer sellers willing to pay those PayPal fees (which average roughly 5% of the auction price, paid by the seller). The largest used auto parts seller of all time, terminated his seller account a couple of months ago. Look to see many more leaving very soon, along with more reports of problems such as the litigation you mentioned.

I am always leary of a seller that claims to know nothing about the car he is selling. I guess the old saying applies: If it looks to good to be true...... Buyer beware.

Yeeeez Louise!!!
I wasn't aware of all this kinda stuff going on. I'm not a big flea-bayer, but I have bought some good stuff at good prices, and so far(knock on wood), I haven't been scammed. I shall have to pay a bit more attention now...

Thanks Dick.
