Somethings not right about this seller, zero feedback, free postage on large items, cheap items. I could be wrong, if so apologies. Anyone any experience with this seller on eBay?

Seems to be a lot more dodgy items on e bay. More being shut down as well.

If it looks too good..........

Absolutely.. someone bought a Sprint rear arch repair section and a pair of wing rails (nos) for £50 with free postage off this seller. Hope it’s a real bargain but seems very cheap...

I hear what you're saying, but by the looks of the photo's, and the other parts they have for sale, they consistently appear to be on a garage/workshop floor, so i would think that the parts do actually exist.

As a business, its surprising how cheap postage and shipping can be once you have a UPS business account for example. They do a flat rate for a monthly commitment type thing, and its ruddy cheap for them too.

The feedback rating and score is potentially a warning, but we all started with Zero at some point, and maybe it is a genuine new account, maybe its a new account because they were shut down for poor selling previously, it'll likely remain a mystery, but if there is something you really want or need, and use ebay and paypal properly, you will at least be fully covered by the money back guarantee.

It can take a little time, too'ing and froing with the odd message, but the system does work, and if you don't get your item, or if you're not entirely happy with it, you are covered for every penny.

Whats the worst that can happen?

Fair point Shrew. There’s so much deception going on on eBay I’m on high alert these days! The rating of this seller is still ZERO though.

Hi all,

Just to say that I purchased and received items from this ebayer.
Two Cloverleaf side air vents as described on eBay add, were exactly as stated and did look to good to be true price wise at the time, but everything worked out fine.

This is a pleasant surprise, glad the trader is an honest one after all. Think it’s still worth questioning the honesty of sellers on eBay before you order...thought for the day there...
