Re: [Chrysler300] best last resort re difficult ebay sellers?

[Nancy Kramer <nekramer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You should note that there are Ebay sellers who are kicked out of Paypal 
and it is often because they did something  on Ebay that was not exactly 
right if you know what I mean.  I knew a lady who was kicked out of Paypal 
when she was an Ebay power seller.  I think subsequently she was kicked out 
of Ebay because her account does not exist anymore and I did find that 
someone actually put up a web page that said she was a crook.  She was 
kicked out of Paypal about 3 or 4 months before she disappeared from 
Ebay.  Based on this I would worry a bit about a seller that did not take 
Paypal.

I always thought that she was not someone I would buy from.  She did not 
sell car parts but she sure did not care about her customers and I think 
often sold "junk".

What 300 parts are you looking for?  We really do have quite a bit of this 
stuff still if it all hasn't been stolen from our storage 
building.  Probably would take us a while to find it though.

Nancy Kramer
