eBay woes

Yeah I could've bought an Explorer w/ a blown tranny a while back, but didn't have the money to buy it AND tow it 80 miles; really wish I had though, would've tripled my money almost if I bought it and didn't keep anything.

BTW, stay away from ppw_inc on eBay . . . that's the seller, and he's a total fu**in' prick; I mentioned that I had borrowed some of the money for the purchase, and he starts sending me a bunch of emails telling me how ignorant I am for not letting myself be scammed, and how selfish I am for borrowing money for a performance part etc. etc. basically trying to psychoanalyze me; to say the guy is a jerk is a huge understatement. Obviously he's just trying to get under my skin and intimidate me, probably because he realizes that there's a very good chance he'll lose this dispute. He also claimed that ALL of the Ford intakes were produced in China, This isn't true, is it? It shouldn't really matter, because I know Ford sold the castings to another company in 2003, and all Cobra intakes made since then are of lower quality than the original OEM stuff, and the intake was clearly advertised as an Explorer intake.

Oh well, at least I believe in karma, so this prick should get what's coming to him sooner or later . . .

If it is an explorer intake then it was made in the USA. All of the recent Cobra intakes are made in china by children.

Do you know a definitive source for this information? A credible source that I can cite in my claim?

I called Paypal and they escalated it for me . . . I guess it's better to be the one filing the claim, right??

Yeah tell me about it, it was the only one I could find at the time; I missed out on one for $40 at my local yard a while back (could've gotten the whole engine for $240)
