    Did you get that ebay one or one similar. I just had a look at shipping costs to Eíre on that €130 and that's before customs get their paws on it.

    Thats still pretty cheap. Id be surprised if customs have any idea of what the retail price for something like that is.

    That ain't a manifold mate, this is a header, a bit of difference here.
    Now enjoy to install that thing.

    It is not even cotted with Ceramic, you gonna burn some pipes here.

    Also not that your SES light gonna stay on all the time and that there is a good chance you will fail emissions test too.

    Bought it for .99 cent, shipping was 180 and then he gave me a full refund and said that the shipping is actually 200 so i told him to F off.
    Did a bit of reasearch and it seems its not worth the shipping cost. Pheww!

    Shhh:p
    It was going to be an investment, flog it onto an m3 owner for €500 or I was going to keep it for a few years until I get an M3 csl:cool:
    But it sounds rubbish.

    Sale not permitted for sale on Ebay as usual.

    The seller is not allowed to circumvent the selling price by charging excessive shipping. You do not get charged by paypal for receiving money for shipping only on the sale of the item.

    They can be banned for this and Paypal can refuse to pay them and they can refuse to send the item.

    Very annoying.

    To be fair you shouldn't leave him any. You were trying to make a quick buck on a piece of tat off ebay and it backfired. Luckily for you you don't have to pay for your mistake. If anyone should be leaving negative feedback it's the seller.

    Except he can't any more ;)

    Will you even be able to leave feedback seeing as the transaction was refunded?

    The transaction was cancelled by the seller because they wanted to bump up their income. Whether the OP wanted the item is irrelevant - the seller shouldn't have done this so IMO - negative feedback!
