[Roadsters] ebay awareness

Here is a link to a discussion of this seller on 311s.org.

A few years ago  I bought a windshield from him, theshop62.  He shipped only 
wrapped in bubble wrap & shipping tape.  Of course it arrived busted.  He 
refunded my money and then collected the insurance.  I left positive feed 
back,  my bad, and stated that it could have been packaged better.  He left 
me negative feedback.  My one and only.  Live & learn.  Be warned.
