eBay Bait & Switch Warning

Listers,

A week or two back I was mentioning some difficulty with an eBay seller who
was slow in replying to numerous e-mails a good two weeks after I mailed my
check.  I purchased a matching set of GT6 doors from him.

While he has removed the photos, you can see from the text in the ad that he
described them as GT6 doors and even emphasised "with wing window" in one of
the ads.

Well, finally, a month after the auction closed, the doors showed up today.
Both wind wings had been removed, effectively rendering it a pair of Spitfire
doors, which I did NOT bid on.

I've written e-mail to the seller. Max Wood, demanding an explanation and the
immediate shipment of the wind wings.  Watch out for this guy.  Film at
eleven...

Best wishes,

Jeff in San Diego
