So sorry to hear.  Yes, please share names and eBay userid.   I bought a =
supposedly 35k orig mile toyota 80 celica from worldwide vintage auto in =
Denver Colorado.  Please be very aware when dealing with these folks.  =
They sell on eBay.  The car had 132k miles and was  n an accident that a =
child could tell. Didn=E2=80=99t look like that in the pictures.  They =
ended up taking the car back less 20% restocking fee.  I =
couldn=E2=80=99t get them to get rid of that.  They actually left =
paperwork in the car from previous owner so I called him.  He verified =
the mileage and accident.   The guy at the dealership stated it was an =
original low mileage car.  The have some nice cars on their website but =
I would go see it person before buying again.  So many today are buying =
site unseen and people are taking advantage.  The saving grace is that =
this is the age of social media and the internet.  Word of mouth very =
important.   That=E2=80=99s why I like Bring a Trailer so much. =20

Hang in there and try to let this be the only one where they took =
advantage of you.  You aren=E2=80=99t alone my friend.

You're doing the right thing, Andrew.  Except publicize his name and =

Word-of-mouth is what eBay's Feedback system used to be, before they =
