Aww, its still there. I thought for sure they would remove it, so I took a screenshot as soon as I saw it.

That seems sort of fucked up to me. Am I wrong? If the auction is still up and I go ahead and use the Buy It Now option at $15,500 isn't he obligated to sell the car to me? Is my understanding of eBay wrong, or am I just a douche with a sense of entitlement?

You can file a claim against him, but it really doesn't hurt the seller. It goes both ways. I've had people buy things from me and then not pay, saying they bid on multiple items and got it for cheaper. All I could do is file a non-paying bidder claim and it just records it on their profile. Then I had to go through the hassle of listing it again, and getting my fees back from ebay. That place is such a scam.

Well, that's weird. For a while I couldn't see it, now it's back.

Database hiccup much, Gary?

Not really the Memphis thing.. but the fact that it was $26 for the item + shipping to go from Taiwan to the US. It's a pretty large box too. The coolant spacer I shipped the other day was $20, and is much smaller than what this box will be, and is going from AZ to TX.

Question for you 1.6 peasants.

A friend bought a kit that includes a megasquirt, but he is clueless when it comes to them. From what I gathered, it just has a harness with a bunch of wires coming out, so I assume it's not an MSPNP.

I'm looking for the ECU connector for the early NAs so I can just wire it up to that and make it a PNP. Can anyone with a 1.6 confirm for me that this is the connector?
