Looking back at my eBay transactions, looks like I bought from this seller before. No issues with the stuff I bought.

I'm not judging these guys in anyway. But I never buy from a faceless company. There are no names on the website, or any history to show credibility.

I also look at spelling and grammar on websites, as an indication of the effort they put into their business. If you can't be bothered checking a website for spelling and grammar, then I can't trust them to put effort into building an engine.

Last week they had a Mini K gearbox advertised on Ebay as a Cooper S gearbox.

Actually I'm not sure about that.. I've not seen it. There may have been a discussion or two involving one of his/her sale items...
