As you may be aware, 11 new states have adopted Internet Sales Tax policies as of October 1, bringing the total to 34 states that now require the collection of sales tax. As the impact of this tax law becomes more apparent, PayPal and eBay are making changes that will make Internet Sales Tax collection less complex for buyers and for you. Starting in November 2019, the way taxable transactions are processed and how taxes are collected for remittance will change, as follows: In states where eBay is required to collect Internet Sales Tax from buyers, order totals sent for processing will reflect the gross order amount inclusive of tax. Once settled, the tax amount will be automatically deducted for remittance to the applicable taxing authority. A record of the sales tax portion of the order will be available on the Seller Hub Order details page and through our Download order report. Please note the applicable tax will continue to be paid by the buyer and you do not need to take any action. We understand that the holiday selling season is nearly upon us and we are working to make this transition as smooth as possible. Learn more about Internet Sales Tax in the eBay Seller Center. If you have questions about how Internet Sales Tax may affect you, we recommend consulting with your tax advisor, or our partners Avalara and TaxJar. As always, thank you for selling on eBay. Sincerely, eBay Team

FedEx ground used to be significantly cheaper than USPS Parcel Post. Also I opened an account with FedEx which makes it even cheaper. But FedEx has been raising their price so the difference is not that great anymore.

A preliminary ruling https://www.leagle.com/decision/infdco20180801h27 Plaintiffs' argument carries some force: they allege that GM purposefully designed the engine to operate in a deceptive way, thus depriving consumers of certain functionality which they believed they were paying for. The alleged "defeat devices" are not a defect in the engine because they were designed and purposefully included. It is thus counterintuitive to find that Plaintiffs can sue only under a products liability statute. Such claims typically involve unintentional imperfections in a product, not engineering successes.

Each Plaintiff bought a Silverado or Sierra 2500 or 3500 diesel vehicle with a model year between 2011 and 2016. Con. Am. Compl. at 1, ECF No. 18. Some Plaintiffs bought new vehicles and others bought used vehicles, but each purchased their vehicle from an authorized GM dealer. See, e.g., id. at 14. The vehicles which Plaintiffs identify all contain a "Duramax" diesel engine. Id. at 1. Plaintiffs' allegations center on the emissions reduction technology associated with that engine. 1 Bosch has joined in both the motion and GM's reply brief in support of the motion. ECF Nos. 67, 74. 2 Those states are Arizona, Arkansas, California, Louisiana, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, and Texas. -2- Case 1:17-cv-11661-TLL-PTM ECF No. 76 filed 08/01/18 PageID.4643 Page 3 of 32 A. According to Plaintiffs, GM represented the Duramax engine as providing both low emissions and high performance. Id.3 Plaintiffs (in unsourced quotations) contend that GM boasted that the Duramax engine constituted a "'remarkable reduction of diesel emissions'" compared to the engine previously used in its Silverado and Sierra vehicles. Id. Those representations were false. Plaintiffs allege that scientifically valid emissions testing has revealed that the Silverado and Sierra 2500 and 3500 models emit levels of NOx many times higher than (i) their gasoline counterparts, (ii) what a reasonable consumer would expect, (iii) what GM had advertised, (iv) the Environmental Protection Agency's maximum standards, and (v) the levels set for the vehicles to obtain a certificate of compliance that allows them to be sold in the United States. Id.4 In other words, the Duramax engine does not actually combine high power and low emissions as GM suggested: "[T]he vehicles' promised power, fuel economy, and efficiency is obtained only by turning off or turning down emissions controls when the software in these vehicles senses they are not in an emissions testing environment." Id. at 1â2. The Duramax engine allegedly achieves this feat by employing "defeat devices." Id. at 2. As Plaintiffs define that term, "[a] defeat device means an auxiliary emissions control device that reduces the effectiveness of the emission control system under conditions which may reasonably be expected to be encountered in normal vehicle operation and use." Id. The Duramax engine allegedly contains three such devices. Defeat Device No. 1 "reduces or derates the emissions 3 This purported achievement would be particularly noteworthy because diesel engines "have an inherent trade-off between power, fuel efficiency, and emissions: the greater the power and fuel efficiency, the dirtier and more harmful the emissions."

How about this one? May 25, 2017 — A GM Duramax diesel emissions lawsuit has been filed for owners and lessees of 2011-2016 Chevrolet Silverado Duramax and GMC Sierra Duramax diesel trucks that allegedly emit too much nitrogen oxides. The General Motors lawsuit alleges the automaker rigged the trucks to pass emissions tests while emitting illegal nitrogen oxide levels on the roads. In addition to GM, the Duramax lawsuit names parts manufacturer Bosch as a defendant that allegedly worked with GM in manufacturing the electronic diesel control units that allowed GM to activate the defeat devices. The lawsuit against Bosch will be nothing new to the company after the supplier was punished for jumping into bed with Volkswagen. http://www.carcomplaints.com/news/2017/gm-duramax-diesel-emissions-lawsuit.shtml August 4, 2018 — A GM diesel lawsuit claims Duramax engines are equipped with emissions defeat devices in 2011-2016 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks. The original Duramax diesel lawsuit was filed in 2017 by plaintiff Andrei Fenner against General Motors and the Robert Bosch company, then consolidated with another class-action called Carrie Mizell et al. v. General Motors LLC, et al., with the consolidated action titled In Re: Duramax Diesel Litigation. http://www.carcomplaints.com/news/2018/gm-diesel-lawsuit-duramax-emissions.shtml

We have that An implied warranty of merchantability is a guarantee by a seller that any product being sold is free of defects and is functional. ... In some states, a seller can disclaim an implied warranty by explicitly disclosing that an item is sold "as-is". https://www.upcounsel.com/warranty-laws-by-state

I have that same type of lichen here in northern California.

Here's some info on the EDM process if anyone is interested. http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/101_Projects_Porsche_911/95-Tapx/95-Tapx.htm and here is a pic where the threaded hole in aluminum in the base of an Alfa block has received a stainless steel threaded insert.

How did he come by all these treasures? Did he buy a whole estate at an estate sale and the vehicles came with it?

Here's another suggestion from another forum: "use a "Rosebud" oxy/acet torch tip to heat up the aluminum base area around the specific stud being pulled just before removal..."

Very interesting. Because that's the same problem rebuilders of Alfa Romeo engines have. You cannot remove the studs from the aluminum block without stripping out the threads. They say EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) can be used. And there are machine shops that have this device. And it's not necessarily too expensive, maybe $50 to remove a broken bolt or broken tap in an aluminium casting. And supposedly the aluminum remains undamged, looking like it was freshly tapped.

If it's free, at least you know the price is right. Has "Mr John Q Smith" issued you a refund-in-full for his services yet? On the ENV transmission? Or ought I not bring that up!!!

Interesting

Should have brought more. My cousin gas one, a yellow one.

I see that the top is stuck in the half open position yet again. You ought to get that fixed.

It is tapered thread, pinches, wedges itself in there when tightened. i smear some grease on it, so it can be removed next time and doesn't get stuck.

I think if something like that ( a reproduction ) could be sold for $4k someone would start pumping them out by the container ship load.
