I just had the worst transaction EVER on EBay, and because this guy seems to a pretty big volume of sales, I wanted to pass along my warning.
Don't.
I recently had to do a clutch in my e30, and figured I'd do my shift bushings at the same time. Bought the clutch from RockAuto, shift bushing kit (which was incomplete, by the way) from PartsContainer. Clutch came in, I waited a couple days, put the clutch in, and thought I'd see how far out my parts were...
Hadn't even shipped yet.
Guy promises "1 day handling" in his auctions, there were "5 available" and the auction says the parts ship from Nashville, TN. Being in Florida, I tried to order from somewhere close so that they'd be here relatively quick. I paid the guy the same time I ordered the kit 5/24 and finally got the tracking info on 5/28. Rather than Tennessee, the parts drop shipped from California. Guy said he shipped them 2 day express, even had it in a 2 day express box, but the parts didn't arrive until 6/2. They even sent me an email asking if I was satisfied with my purchase, and my parts hadn't even arrived yet. When I complained about the time it was taking, I basically got back "Oh well, too damn bad" as a response.
After a few days of not getting any tracking info, I looked into the guy's feedback... A TON of neutral and negative reviews. I guess I was one of the lucky ones because I actually received something in the mail, and it seems to be what I ordered. A bunch of people are leaving feedback about never receiving their parts, receiving wrong parts, and the seller is HORRIBLE about making things right. One guy hadn't gotten any parts and has had no refund in almost 3 months.
Buyer beware.
