G'day Zoners, Wanted to leave a heads up regarding a US eBay seller of E30 parts (interior mostly). The sellers name is "Tallbeep" and is to be treated with caution, actually avoid like the plague!!!
I purchased a set of E30 Sports Seats for which the seller agreed to freight to me. After parting with about US$650 I got pretty excited about my resto project taking a big step (these seats are rare down under). Sadly, two months later, no seats and seller won't answer emails. Will get some refund through PayPal but only about $200.
Be warned

PS: Anyone wanting to part with some of these seats and prepared to freight to Australia, PM me but be prepared for my extreme caution!!!

Damn mate thats harsh, Something simular happend to me but there was no where near that amount of money involved. If you buy some seats off here, you wont have any worries and You can trust most of the people.

I've had a few problems with US e-bay sellers, and always avoid from now on. Paypal are about as much use as tits on a fish.

I'll move this one to the feedback section.
