1st.

Anybody searching E-bay is not exactly worried about wasting their time. When they decided to forgo their Doctorate degree to find the next great deal on e-bay they sealed their own fate.

2nd.

I am not the seller. I have in the past sold VW's on E-bay, and will continue to do so. With or without your support. As a matter of fact, I gave away a nice automatic '85 Vanagon today (I gave it away mostly so I didn't have to deal with people like you nit-picking over the unimportant details).

3rd.

This is a VW Vanagon Owners web-ring and yet you promote your S**cumology website at the bottom of your tag-line. What's the difference between you posting that and the seller of that custom truck putting the letters VW in his heading? Maybe he meant Very Well made, or Vishie sWah. Who knows.

4th.

Lighten up...just because.

Ward

Entity Lucas & Angie Boyer spoke thus:

>Somebody's got too much time on their hands. The reason this mislabeling is not allowed on eBay is that it wastes the buyers time. The OP entered a search term and an item came up that was not a VW. He obviously didn't feel he had too much time on his hands or he would not have complained. ebay's "Terms of Selling" page explains this. The statements you made in your post are exactly the justifications a seller would use. Maybe you do this kind of thing regularly. Maybe you are the seller!
