EvilBay has become increasingly useless when searching for parts. This is in large part to the keyword spamming used by many sellers. Search for "Porsche 914 NOS" and you will get a half dozen dashboard stripper dolls that have nothing to do with Porsche, 914, and are hardly NOS.
Perhaps if enough members start submitting reports to ebay (using the report item link), they will do something about sellers like jcapartscom and other spammers. |

We need to be a little careful there. $pammers in general are a huge industry. Full of shady characters but some are flat out genious when it comes to computers & what they can do. Our site has been shut down before because of one such $pammer. From a simple post asking about the legetimacy of a something for sale. It was a huge problem & not one we want to have again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . That could literally shut us down for good. It was alot of effort on Andy's part to get past it. For something that is more a labor of love & not something he is paid to do. It can get to the point it isn't worth it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) So please do not invite any reason for a $pammer to target us (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) We all love it here |
