Look at the bottom of his sales pitch...he even says,
"Note these seats are not oem brand
They are complete duplicates of the brand."
Get into an accident with those and you'll be getting buried 6 feet down.

sometimes this community amazes me
someone posts up a used exhaust, one that everyone and their brother has seen 200 times, and people ask for picture after picture
some dude with a whopping 4 feedback from halfway around the world posts up replica seats (blatant copyright infrigement) that he can't even see fit to remove from their seran wrap from before he takes "glamour shots" and everyone comments on "how good they look".
ooh..and he also is selling a used cellphone and used earings too...maybe he will do a combo deal?

Isn't that copyright infringement since he is selling the seats with the name on them?

Let natural selection take care of those who are unfortunately ignorant/stupid enough to drive sitting in them. It's one thing to buy a Rolex knock-off, a whole different thing with automobile safety.

ebay = bootleg
no way to stop people from selling bootleg on ebay. every country has different laws.
just look at all the MUGEN, HKS, etc knockoffs.
and even movies and games are bootleg.
ebay = cheap knockoffs
