Just giving you guys out there a heads up if you come across this guy on ebay or maybe even this board. His Ebay ID is: 68Dually. A good friend of mine bid on a lowering kit he was selling.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT

He won the auction fair and square for $25.00 and immediately following the auction, he gets this email from the seller.

Don't know what happened...but this ain't going to happen! The buy it now price is $200.00 w/$100.00 shipping and handling. If you want it for this then we can talk. If not...sorry for your trouble. I have a copy of the original ad when it was displayed. jeff

When asked why he was not holding his end of the bargain he replied:

Use your head man...it ain't going to happen. E-bay goofed the ad. Origianlly it was 50.00 dollar starting price and 200.00 dollar reserve. When it relisted...don't know what they did. But it was not this.

Oh well, just thought Id throw ythis out there. BEWARE of shady sellers.

Have Fun!

Your friend needs to file a complaint with eBay and leave negative feedback. That's classic the way he blames it on ebay when he screwed up the listing himself. He got daily status reports on his listing and would had plenty of opportunity to cancel the auction or revise the listing. I am approaching the 300 mark on my feedback rating and have been both a buyer and a seller. The only listing goof-ups have been on my part.

Should we flood his email account? I've seen that work.

I feel the seller's pain -- but you have to follow through on what and how you list. it is the seller's responsibility to make sure their ad is correct.

I wouldn't make it personal -- just file the complaint.

The seller had 5 days to figure out his ad was wrong. Blaming Ebay just doesn't cut it.

I agree with the above, but looking at these parts, tell him he can keep them.
He claims he sold the truck before the installation? Those parts look pretty well used in the pics...

Heres his original auction:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=7986166208

Notice the $50.00 opening bid, he forgot to add a reserve when he lowered his starting bid on the relist.

He probably would have done better if he had not listed it under "lift kits"

whatta mook.
