[W126 Coupe] Bad ebay guy

[Jay Manek]

Clocks failing are very common, its one very small component that fails.. i forget which one but it costs peanuts to fix. Here in the uk there is a guy that will repair for £15/$30...


Many Thanks & Regards

  What is the major cause of my clock not working in a 1987 126?  

   

  Also my driver's window started making a knocking sound and then stopped going down.  For some reason if I open the door it works a little better???

   

  Thanks,

  I had an interesting ebay experience last year.  I needed a speedo cluster for a 300SEL.  I found a complete cluster for a good deal.  I specifically asked if all gauges worked, especially the clock.  They said they all worked, so I put in an offer which they surprisingly accepted (less than buy it now offer).  Got it, installed, it, clock worked for 5 minutes then stopped.  Hm, that's familiar.  I got several 126's and know this is a common problem which is why I asked.  So I let them know and they said I could send it back but had to pay shipping myself!  Now why the hell would I pay $20 to ship back a $30 item and have nothing left over?  At least I could use the speedo part which is all I needed anyway.  So I left negative feedback, and guess what they did?  Said I broke the clock myself trying to take the cluster apart...d'uh, I installed it first and found it not working, then took the speedo cluste r out and mounted it in my original cluster.  Oh well...I ebay and paypal were zero help either.  Really sucks because it appears a seller can outright lie then later say they'll take it back but you have to pay to return it at your cost....so much for their dispute section that has something to do with item not as significantly described.

  Thanks for the heads-up.
   
  eBay is such a gamble. Whatever I bid on, I take an eBay deduction to account for the risk that the buyer will not follow through, or that the item will be much different from the advertisement.

  I make a big mistake by buying Brake calipers from a guy on e-bay.  When I received them all of the bleed screws were bent one broken off inside the caliper.  When I e-mailed the seller he told me to go to an auto parts store and buy them.  Also the rear calipers are not the same both AT E and have the number 38 on them but are a different shape on one side will they still work ok?.  I  e-mailed the seller back and asked him to send me new bleed screws or money to pay for new ones.  The seller told me to shove the Calipers up my ______ and to go f_____ myself.  And then he left negative feedback and I quote "TRI ED TO EXTORT MONEY; GOT SHUT DOWN; GET OFF EBAY, THIEF and - think twice before buying from this user: items arrived BROKEN and FOUL SMELLING DEMANDED $25;;; " I do not understand the second one because I was the buyer but anyway.

  So my friends stay far away from this guy
