Eric,
Whether a Vanagon is converted or stock, it is Vanagon specific and
belongs here.
The point was NOT that vendors can't sell in their own website. It is
about giving credit where credit is due. Inquiry was ONLY through
eBay. Credit belongs to them. If Seller choses to sell outside of that
venue, they should follow rules they agreed to abide by. They could
have just said, "No, we are not listing that item on eBay." instead of
saying I should just go to their website to buy it.
I said thanks but I would rather wait when they have the item listed
in eBay again. I was told they are not organized at the moment and
will be a long time before they list the item again. I declined with
an explanation that I would only buy if I can have eBay protection.
Seller response still insisted I buy from their site only. They added
that my experience with previous vendors who asked me to do the same
thing they are asking, which resulted in an unsatisfactory
transaction, has nothing to do with them.
Anyway, I'm glad that you had a positive experience with this vendor.
Not everyone had the same experience. I was interested in hearing both
sides. Now I've read quite a lot.
Thank you for your input. Issues about appropriate Vanagon content
should be ran pmail through the mods. I'd rather read about Vanagons
coverted to use Isetta engines than about much of the fluff
proliferating on the List these past couple of days.
Regards,
BenT
