Still can't believe how successful some people can be despite their poor services offered. How much better off would they be if they even put a hint of integrity or sincerety into their efforts? At the time I have posted this there have been 200 views on this thread alone! I for one will definately avoid this seller.

After some recent bad experiences on ebay, it is good to know the problem sellers. I agree with Ryan.

Ryan and Mark... you're both correct.

Now I almost feel like I must apologize to you all for not having shared my experience with thsi guy earlier, but to be honest, I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt and not assume that my one-time experience was representative of his overall manner. I guess next time I'll go ahead and post my experience and see of there are any others with the same, better, or worse experiences than mine.

Ryan, no need for any apology. All we know about an ebay seller is what our own experience has been, be it good or bad. If it was bad and we share that experience, then we might prevent someone else from having the same trouble. With the anonymous nature of doing business on ebay, any information that we can gain about sellers, or buyers, can help prevent problems. There are plenty of players in that game so if one doesn't perform well and we know it, we can simply choose another.

"Keep in mind... I'm not bashing fishinnut420... just relating the facts."

No sir, neither am I. I did write him back today, and asked him if he would have installed the sensor, looking like it did, in his $50,000 truck. I was at all times very polite with him, and only requested a refund. I also asked him if that justify such a negative feedback.

Shipping was $5.00 when I bought the sensor. Flat rate shipping with USPS (box included), is just under that. I forwarded that information to him also. I hope he will consider the change.

I have learned a lot about my 7.3 here, and take VERY good care of it. I just wanted to forward my concerns to everyone. I very much support FTE, and ALL the good people that help others so much.

Good Luck to ALL.....

This is very good info. The thing seems to be with this guy is that it is not just a one time thing, this has happened several times. I use ebay quite a bit and I bought something the other day, and the seller sent me an email to thank me for my quick payment and to tell me when he was going to ship. This was the first time something like that has happened for me i'm pretty sure. But it's just things like that that make a seller worthwhile to deal with.
