Never Buy From This Sh*tty Seller... >=(

[John B.]

Its worth waiting for as the other cup holders I've tried suck big time. Had one of Herbs in my 535i for years but can't find one for the 525iT that will stay in place. Can't use Herbs because of the Traction Control switch and so far I've got two different style (door pocket/side of console) holders rolling around the back of the wagon.

Ahh Bill... you could have welded a contraption... circle ring on top... flat base for bottom of the cup... and a flat bar for connecting two and use as mounting base and screw it into your console.

The only problem is... which cup, can or bottle to base that ring from... Then paint it flat black... viola!

In his reply he stated that he apploigized for his delay in response but my problem that after three attempts to communicate I had to threaten a claim with ebay for him to respond...now in all honesty you tell me if that is a responsible seller?!?!

When I sell items on eBay I respond within 24 hours of the question or I ship for FREE! Then again maybe I am just too nice of a seller! =/

I'm over it though...it's things like this that re frame me from making purchases on eBay...

A lot of vendors don't repsond pronto, esp. for low value items. going ape on them doesn't do you any good, understanding that they might have something better to do with their time than hang out online or be across email 24/7 is important. Someone like Herb is doing people driving our old cars a favour by continuing to make these available so cheap, it is best not to make it hard for him. He probably is a little technically challenged, whcih can make things hard in between ebay, freemail services, windows and spam.

It is good not to dispute small items with vigour as the hassle is large. PayPal just put you through a process of providing more info over some time. So long as you raise a polite request for action within 30 days because you haven't heard anything, a slack vendor will usually react. Try to buy more time for a amicable solution and not sound impatient. Writing cranky messages to the vendor or PayPal doesn't help any. Best to leave that for the rest of 'em...
