Guest Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Can any of you make heads or tails of this eBay listing?Maybe a good ESL course would help. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1942-1948-1955-1938-chrysler-plymouth-dodge-switch-nos-1957-1958-/111822104552?hash=item1a091de7e8:g:Qd8AAOSwnDxUqZVC&vxp=mtr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Well, he says that his parts "don't need a US tour", since they're not a band, so he doesn't want to have them shipped to and from a buyer, as in a sale/return. Sometimes people can try to be so cute that it's not only confusing, but silly. But, if everyone was the same, sure would be boring out there.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AlCapone Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Everyone needs a smile in their day because there are too many grouchy people. The message I got was no returns and if your not buying who cares what it means. Thanks for the smile Greg. Regards, Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryB Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Somewhat funny but a poor way to describe the item for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

60FlatTop Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Some people obviously get burned out on Ebay. Some just had a head start. Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plymouthcranbrook Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Looks a little bit like a brake light switch. And he has a 99.9% favorable rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_OToole Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 If you needed one you would know it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Well, I thought the photo was pretty poor as well, only showing the back side of the switch. So I asked him what type of switch this is, his reply was "The part number is there".I guess he doesn't know either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 It looks like a pressure switch. Could either be a fuel pressure or air pressure switch for a heavy truck I would bet. He should have put the part number in the description as it's really hard to read off the box. I feel like writing things like this in my listings but you always have to bite your tongue a bit and remember to not offend any body.Here is a sample of my listings with the fine print. I also think ebay's policy of forcing you to take returns and actually charging you for the return shipping even though the buyer bought the wrong part because they didn't read the description or look at the photos is a raw deal for the sellers. I found one more of these, Don't miss out!!!! Up tonight I have The beginning of a collection of NOS parts. Here I have a New Old Stock Accessory Fox Craft Skirt lock Kit for most any car with fender Skirts. Includes both keyed locks, Directions, and probably most hardware, although there could be a screw or nut missing. Box is in poor shape but it is included. You won't find parts like this at your local wrecking yard if they even have cars like yours left. A nice finishing touch to your Authentic restoration. These little parts really make your restoration stand out. The part number on this is not available. Remember always use genuine parts in your restoration. Don't miss out!!!Always Buying NOS parts for any make!!!!!!***Please read the not so fine, fine print Below***>>Shipping Info. All of my literature is securely Stretch wrapped to a cardboard backer (excluding large well used Shop manuals, still stretch wrapped just no backer) this is then placed in a custom rigid book mailer to insure it arrives in the same shape as shown in the photos. The mailers aren't free (they cost around 2.00 or so each bought in bulk) and the weight of them adds to the shipping. If you really want to save money, buy multiple items and ask for a total before paying. (do not pay then ask for a refund) Can I ship cheaper? Probably, but there is no guarantee you won't get a pile of shredded rain soaked paper machete or at the least a folded up brochure where it shouldn't be folded.***Payment is expected in a reasonable amount of time. Any items not paid for within 30 days of the auctions end, will be relisted and you will be SOL. *****Please be sure to check out my Ebay Store for more great vintage NOS parts for all makes!!****************International bidders always welcome!!! !!!!!!!********************** Please ask all questions before bidding. Please remember this part is NOS! Be sure to add me to your favorites. Thanks for looking. ***The fine Print I have held off as long as possible but have finally found it necessary to add this little clause to my auctions. I ship almost daily. When I receive your pay pal payment I will reply to that email to let you know I received payment. This email will also tell you when the item will be shipped. It is usually the same day. If you have some sort of spam blocker you may not receive this email. I'm not going to take the time to contact you in any other way to tell you it was sent if the email comes back. I will gladly combine shipping on most items. For combined shipping, request a total at the end of the last auction and I will get back to you in a day or so with a shipping total. Please do not pay until You have received the invoice. That only complicates things. When inquiring about a part please be sure to let me know what the part is and if possible the auction number if not inquiring through the ask seller a question link on that item. It makes things a whole lot easier. I do not put insurance or delivery confirmation on most items. I ship over 3000 items a year. The time alone to do this takes way too long. I will add it if you request it though. Insurance will only give you your money for the item back not the shipping. Regardless of what you want put on the package if they loose it or deliver it to the wrong person it is gone. There is nothing that will get it back. The Post office is pretty good in general though and I have only a package or 2 get lost a year. The more time I have to spend doing paperwork (filling out Forms, answering emails etc.) The less time I have to find and prepare all the neat rare parts I have been bringing you!!! If your package doesn't arrive in a timely manner. 1 Check with your local post office. They have on occasion had it but not delivered it to the customer for whatever reason. 2 Contact me and I will check when it was sent. I will work with you in whatever way to help you find the part. If it is lost I will take care of you. Check my feedback. It speaks for itself!!!!!!! If you feel a part is wrong or you have some other concern about an item you purchased please contact me to help resolve the issue. I am very critical of my parts and try to honestly describe the true condition. I may miss something but not usually. I clean and detail all my parts so you see exactly what you are getting. It helps me see the flaws and point them out to potential buyers. There is nothing worse than getting an unpleasant surprise when you open that box. Please bid with confidence in knowing I stand by my parts and descriptions. Only leave feedback once the transaction has been completed and any concerns you have are addressed.
