So, I find a nice 4" mandrel bent exhaust for an 07+ dodge truck. It is listed for $159 buy it now. Seemed too good to be true so I read the listing multiple times and even gave myself 3 days to think it over. I decided it was a hell of a deal and bought it on Sunday. I got good feedback for my purchase later that same day. I wake up this morning and decide to see if it shipped yet. To my surprise the listing has been completely changed and now it is just a cat delete pipe.
Does anyone know if eBay logs listing edits?
I contacted the seller giving him the chance to refund my money and get good feedback with no response.
Thoughts?
-
Yeah they log the edit, even if they say they do not, for legal reasons. :noel:
-
file shit up with paypal, tell them whats going on and you should get money back.
-
could of been they sold out and they didnt want to pay for a new listing and just modified a current one
-
also go under advanced search type in username and auction #
You will get full contact info aka phone #
Make a phone call before you jump of the cliff
-
Should have known right from the start. You can't buy a 4" for any application for even close to that price.
Did they actually have a picture of a cat back for the listing?
-
It was aliminized so it was somewhat believable.
Anyway, he finally emailed me back and will be refunding me. :whew:
-
I wouldnt have been suprised. Hell, my 3" exhaust for my Civic that is "stainless" was only 149 shipped.
-
the ITR china 3" was 124shipped... :Jew:

Last time I got "shafted" was for a 75mm Ford throttle body. $29.99 & free shipping. I was charged shipping (still paid, good deal), then eventually canceled by filing that I didn't pay for it. Thinking back, I should have "won" all their auctions that didn't require immediate payment with another account.
In my case, and maybe yours, it can be some moron listing it for a company w/o having the right info on it. They could give 2 shits if they're given a picture of an airplane but the auction is for a 16' bass boat. For $29.99 shipped. :P
It's best to send them a message and make sure it's true. Just play dumb and don't let them know what they have. I've won a lot of good stuff that way.

I found another one for $10 less. I emailed them and asked point blank. We will see

For my EG they are going for $119 shipped, thinking of buying this hacking the 2.25/2.5" header b-pipe flange off.

Weld a 3" flange and a small section of pipe and only have to make a down pipe from turbo to it.
Save time and money. :noel:
-
Don't forget a flex section. They're all of $20 on ebay now. Just make sure it's near a flange so you can check it periodically.
