    Ebay scam of the day...

    Item number: 4613640649


    "buy it now .99"

    " Shipping costs: US $180.00 -- UPS Ground"

    No doubt a scam to cut ebay out of their fees?

    FYI you can buy the same carb from ProFlo for $169.95

    Someone was doing that with 250r fenders before. It was just a way around the ebay fees, but I disagree with sellers doing that... If someone didnt look at the shipping price, they would be screwed.

    Isnt screwing ebay out of some fees kinda like biting the hand that feeds you?

    Send the seller a message tell him you want to come pick it up.

    I have seen before that usually when the shipping cost that much they dont allow pick ups.But I do agree if the buyer dont watch and look over entire auction page they would be screwed,that is exactly why I look and read everyhting carefully before I bid on something
