Re: [mg-tabc] MG TC chassis nuts and bolts

Hi all,
You should contact eBay and note that this is  a fraudulent listing. 
Include your emails unless they were sent through eBay, and in that case 
they will have a copy.
I have had the same thing happen before; eBay took care of it.  eBay won't 
release your name to the guy, but will contact him directly.
Touting your wares is one thing, but blatantly false advertising is quite 
another.
Best,
Ray
