What a ******* moron, that's a members car here and the seller has a 100% feedback, either someone hacked his account or he's mentally retarded. Someone needs to report that **** asap, I would but don't know how

I don't think that's him. If so then he's really into Costume in Cards. It seems that's all that seller has bought.

That is a member's car, and his username is SS LS1. I sent him an email and a PM telling him of this thread, and the Ebay pics.
It looks like some idiot lifted the pics and directly cut/pasted the text from his cardomain site: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/314999
That **** makes me mad. Some dumbass is trying to pawn his (undoubtedly) crusty V6 off on someone for alot more than it's probably worth, and misrepresenting his product on Ebay, while using pictures that are not his. No wonder alot of people don't trust Ebay auctions.

I sent the Ebay seller a question about the cardomain pics/write up and the ebay auction stating the same thing..... will see if the person reponds. SS LS1 needs to file a complaint with Ebay about this person.

SWEET! Can't wait to see the reply. You want to bet that he says "That's my cardomain site, and I've worked hard on this car.... blah blah..."
Some good follow-up questions would be:
-Why does the auction show that the car has cassete player, when the car in the pic has a CD player?
-Why does the auction show that the car is a 3.8 liter V6, when the car in the pics is a 5.7 liter V8?
BTW- Good catch PlatinumGTA!

I just sent him an email asking him how it's an SS if it only has a v6. Doubt he replies. Everyone should send him an email asking him about it and flood his inbox, hehe.

I just sent him an email:

Hi, I have a question about the car you have for sale. Are you selling a V6, or a SS V8?
Does it have a CD player, or a Cassette player? I saw your Cardomain site, and it is a very nice car, you have lots of good feedback on it. Why are you selling it? Has it been in any accidents? Please reply as soon as possible. Thank you!

I wonder what kind of BS he'll email me back with. Assuming he replies.

That's why I said he's probably selling a crusty V6.

Welcome to pics of my Camaro project.
Heh, maybe he's trying to be like that retard who was selling 'pictures' of an XBOX 360 on ebay, that had over 50 bids. Seems feasible with hot items like XBOXs that sold out, but not on a Camaro. Especially for 3k BIN.

You can get your negative feedback lifted from your account for $20. He may try to jack somebody and then just pay the 20 dollar fee to have all traces (from the average ebayer) of the auction removed.

It does seem likely that somebody is messing with his account though.

Yes but if that was the case then why did he post all of them? You can just right click and save as for free.

My wife and I had some negative feedback before because somebody didn't send money and we left them neg. feedback. I guess they though it was fair. Either way, we raised all sorts of hell with ebay and they finally sent an email stating that you can pay $20 to remove a neg. feedback from your account or you can remove your neg. feedback from somebody elses account. ??? My wife refused to pay and just left a comment after their negative feedback. Not sure about it more than that, we only had that 1 problem.

I have been screwed on ebay two times over CD players before and one or the sellers just cancelled their account. Ebay apologized and said that they could no longer do anything about it. ??? I ended up losing 100 bucks on each unit. Both, different sellers, with over 1000 positive feedback and only a few complaints between them (usually slow communication or took a long time to get product). One of the sellers had about 10 negative feedback in a row, after our problem, complaining that they never received their product. Hate to say it, but they may have died. At that time, I didn't care since I was out on some cash.
