You told me at the Merry Millar meeting that you had the seals made for your self they are still available from Porsche. Pricing has nothing to do with it It's still plagiarzing

The seals I sell for the outer windows are/were made in Europe by a group of 928 owners and though they look similar they are not.
The item I sell is an extrusion whereas the Porsche sold item is a molding. Fitting of the rear part of the seal requires a different skill set.
We went from a very expensive molded item to a much more economical extruded item.

In your case you are openly admitting to copying the hard work of a well respected 928 vendor and even selling on the back of his success. You did not come up with a better, different or improved and tested design. You just jumped on Greg's back.

Lots of people make and sell reproductions of original parts.

They usually openly state that they are reproductions.
Things like window seals are on every car. The design and construction of them isn't proprietary, and there isn't a whole lot of R&D involved.

OTOH, you seem to be representing this as your own design.
And it's not a part common to any other car.

How about changing your E-Bay ad to read something like:

This is an unauthorized copy of a part designed and sold by Precision Motorwerks in the US.

Typical politician response of ignoring own position and trying to point at others as a deflection tactic.

Your ebay listing appears to deliberately mislead potential buyers, by omission of a few truths..

By using this baffle the amount of oil in the breather air stream is drastically reduced. Tried and proven on hundreds of instillations in the USA . POSTAGE PRICE FOR UK MAINLAND ONLY.

He's probably welding them at work, instead of doing what he's getting paid to do...

Stealing other people's designs and intellectual property....stealing time at work....what's the difference to this kind of person?

That's funny.

"Your" louvered top looks a lot like the Devek one.
