Look out for Ebay problem

This post was updated on .

I ordered an aluminum engine mount plate (triangular) for my CB750 on Ebay.
I paid for it right away- same time.
That was Nov. 8th
Today is Nov. 18th Still no part.

Meanwhile the guy is selling more of them.
It does not say how many he has.

So it looks like he is taking PAID orders then he can go get them manufactured.
I think Ebay should have a rule . You have the have the item BEFORE you can sell it.

He also shows a polished aluminum mount plate but in the text it says it is not polished.
IT comes in a rough finish.

I reported it to Ebay.

Not cool.Even if there is a printed disclaimer,i hate that kind of "bait-n-switch" selling technique. Let us know how it turns out.If not good,let us know the seller name so we can avoid him.

BTW,I dig your new avatar

Tasclassicmotorsports tried that crap on me awhile back. I started a dispute with ebay before the 30 days was up, and got my money back. Just do not let it get to 30 days. After that, you can not dispute it.

I got an email back from that guy yesterday and all he said was, (EXACT QUOTE) "I made a bunch of them--You should have yours very soon."

No commitment at all. "You SHOULD have yours soon." (it has already been 10 days)

The sellers name is Jemroux.

I called Ebay and told them they need a rule that sellers can only sell what they actually have.
Not place orders for items after they get paid for items.
