Did you consider why the door lock mechanism was on EBay? Maybe someone replaced a bad one and said hey I'll just put it on EBay and sell it to some sucker. Before you go the whole immobilizer/reprogramming route, get a new door lock mechanism. I certainly would try that first. FWIW I don't buy Porsche parts (or anything for that matter) off EBay because one is always hearing stories about getting ripped off with crap parts. Caveat Emptor...
