Maybe eBay disciplined him.

im waiting for an item i got of eBay from 928WW. when i went back to check a week later, said it was no longer a user. but a few emails finally made it to them. got a response of, " will ship when payment has been verified".. that was a week ago. so two weeks no part, and no further feedback from them.. iv had lots of good luck in the past with them. hope they work it all out.

He should employ phase II of the "****" business model.

My guess is his Ebay account was suspended for lack of payment for auction listing fees. They were listing the same item 3 or times (one buy it now, one auction) and that must have added up.

Soup, mebbe mason's package labeling system resulted in misdirected packages.....

Should we be proud to be the first?

I'm sorry for him but based on what I have seen, Soup's cartoon is right.

I just don't understand how he could expect to run a good business while being dishonest and essentially putting down his main customers and audience. Hey, it's good for me (those interested will find out soon what I am talking about)!

Yeah and Soup has a history of "cartoons" with ole mason! That said, I am not so much proud we were first.......simple because we should have been.

I mean afterall, we are the BEST Porsche site out there, with the Best, most fullsome 928 community in the whole damn world.

We are expected to do the right thing, EARLY!

Leadership is not easy, nor often popular. If some site want to be "liked", go bake a freekin cake........ If you want to lead, then "lead" dammit.

truth is, "nice" is not always "operative".

I couldn't bring myself to buy anything from him on eBay with the vague descriptions, no shipping costs indicated for items under $100, and no answers to questions emailed to them. Prices were cheap, but looking at his feedback didn't make me confident in buying anything from him. That was my impression of them without having read anything on Rennlist about them. Glad I have some intuition.

Can't argue with anything said here, just took a few of us longer to figure it out.

Well I see and hear things about him posted here....But from my experience, my Eaby and over the phone dealings with him he has been a straight shooter with me....I actually have a product that wasn't what I ordered..a lock without a key, needed one with the key and a couple wiper grommets for under the wipers. Well the package arrived and USPS had poked a hole in the envelope..the lock made it but no grommets and he said to send the lock back and he'd send me it when he got a lock with a key in stock and the grommets too....all for $100. I don't think I'm going to have a problem as he offered to refund my $100. But I have choose to wait for the item....But from this posting I'll probably try and folllow up with Mason...just to make sure I'm still in the loop...Just my 2 cents....
