Ebay Hubcap Sales

[Aqua 409]

I purchased a set of so called "NOS" wheel covers from a fellow New Yorker from a lead in an auction listing of a "NOS" wheel cover on ebay. When I got the hubcaps they were clearly used, but had a good job of buffing and polishing on them. When I contacted the guy he said the man he bought them from said they were "NOS" meaning New Old Stock. Since he has a hubcap business I rather doubt his judgement is that flawed. When someone says NOS make sure they make good on it. It shouldn't mean Nice Old Stuff. :mad:

Get your money back! Fight for it. People that do this make honest ebay sellers look bad.

e-bay horror story--for sale 1961 Impala not 62,63,64---10 day ad reserve price $6,500. bid of $7,368 12 hrs before close e-bay pulled ad. Listing violation. Seen this done dozens of times in last couple of years. I know ignorance of rules is no excuse but wished they could have notified in the first day or two, so I could have edited. Winning bidder of $6500 second time around. Negative feedback buyer. Naturally hes nowhere to be found.item # 4543842392 Oh well, I will finish and drive it

Ronnie, what was the violation? I have never sold on ebay, but been thinking about it. Are they really strict? Seems like they must not be, with some of the things you see on there.

Fred, I guess Im just unlucky. They said it was not honest to post ad with multiple years in the title. I dont know where theu draw the line. I have had some success buying and selling, so I guess its part of the game.

This will sound bad... but... why put what it's not? I've seen it done. If I look at a 61, I know its not a 62 63 64. More traffic? Ebay doesn't know anything about cars anyways. A buddy had a few pulled because he had a title for the auto. Listed it as parts car. guess you can't have parts cars with titles. (illegal in In.)

Tom, lets say a guy is looking to buy a 1963 Impala----if he enters 1963 Impala and hits -search- it would also show my 61 because of having titled as not 1962,63,64 . In other words, the computer shows anything with 1963 in the title. It is a way to force people to look at an ad they would not have seen. I realize now why it is a violation but didnt know at that time. An expensive lesson.
