Yep, Like i said with the gearbox.
I sell hundreds of car parts on Ebay each week, I never accept offers on the side or sell away from Ebay if its still listed on there.
I only do this out of principal, because i hate it when its done to me. Like waiting a week for something i really need and is rare, then finding out its been taken down etc
