Who's going to stop him? eBay? Not no, but hell no. They get a percentage of his rip off. Then so does PayPal.

I lodged a complaint to eBay support. Maybe they will prove me wrong.

Everyone needs to take a look at this recent auction that Steve lists above. At the bottom of every auction, there is a link to "Report this item." It's kind of hoaky, but if everyone reports this, then eBay may act.

The problem with this reporting is that it is very generic. And you can't report "Fraudulent Actions" unless you have actually been defrauded by the auction. Man, that is proactive, huh?

I reported a "listing policy violation" with "misleading title" as the reason and "intentional misleading or deceptive titles" as the additional information.

The problem is that they do not provide an area to include the context. And somehow I doubt that anyone from eBay is going to contact me for context.

This may sound harsh, but I'd like to see this guy in jail. (Although it will never happen) I have no problem with a guy trying to make a buck, but there are ethical ways to do it. To me, there is no difference in what this guy is doing and snatching purses from old ladies.

There is a guy on ebay selling YBR lock sets for about $45 bucks shipped to the US, you get the gas gap, ignition and seat lock - not sure if the ignition will work at all, but still not a bad deal for the gas cap shipped to the US if anyone is interested.

It seems that the chromed fuel cap is superseded.

5VLF460201 => 5VLF460202

And the difference is, as far as i have found out the color, switched from chrome to silver or matt chrome?!
The dealer wants ~100€ for this part and this is too much if i dont know what i will get - can someone check if the part is cheaper in his country?
