I'm sorry but that is just incorrect. That is how Seibon (and some others) work...it's certainly not how everyone works, or even how the majority of firms work. Your experiences to date have as much to do with what parts you have bought as they do with who you bought them from.
We ship body parts all day long..and not just for 350Z's. But we are very selective about who's parts we offer. Doesn't matter if we're sending it from here or drop shipping it from the manufacturer. If it's not a manufacturer and/or supplier that I know will stand behind us 1000% to resolve any potential issue that can come up, I don't see the point in selling it in the first place. If a manufacturer won't even stand behind their own product, why should I? What's more, when a manufacturer starts a downward spiral of consistent issues, or generally can't get their ish together, we simply bail and drop the line altogether. I've done it more times than I can count. That is what we narrowly focus our efforts and don't just offer every part that we potentially have access to. We sell what we know, and we sell what we trust.
Like I said, garbage in, garbage out.

This is not against all vendors and there are no names here. This damn thread has gone from safety to EBAY POS, to china POS, to EBAY is still a POS and now its about Z1 poking there nose and being offended. Give me a break people, I have said it a thousand time this is about the EBAY blinders this forum has and me trying to get people to open there mind a little.
I didn't say it was directed at us....you seem to like to paint things with a broad brush, and I am just pointing out that many of the things you complain about don't even have to come into the equation in the first place. It all simply depends on who you shop with, not whether they are on ebay or not.
And leave the name calling out of it. I didn't call you anything, or even suggest anything. Perhaps your just your own worst enemy.

Your welcome, we understand your feelings got hurt and I am sorry but this is not about you nor any specific vendor. This is not a flame post so please go start your own thread if you want to enlighten everyone. This is about opening up peoples minds and not being biased towards the same gear on EBAY.

Also, those kids who got scammed by AI.... wouldnt have happened if they bought authentic parts.
If you don't want a Vendor to "poke" their nose within "your" thread then perhaps you shouldn't start a thread with a title that insinuates a call out to all vendors on MY350Z. Last time I checked we were a vendor and we have every right to respond to this thread as you do in creating it. If you didn't want just anyone with a vendor tag to respond to this thread then perhaps you should specify which vendor you are directing your comments to within your title or your first post. General questions will be answered by the general public.

I think something everyone is missing is the only parts anyone is finding on EBAY are the cheaper non authentic parts to start with...
When is the last time you saw true JDM parts on ebay?? real bride seats??
Its because ebay shoppers dont buy quality parts they buy junk. Vendors stock and carry both because they reach out to all buyers. I have developed relationships with several vendors on here and can say that they have priced matched for me on any deal I find.
Z1 I have only had one personal transaction with you and you guys are A+ keep up the good work, good communication, and fast shipping that I experienced when buying my suspension.
For everyone buying replica's good luck on your search for the absolute cheapest price instead of the best deal. I will continue to use vendors with stellar reputations who have not screwed me out of a single dollar and have always given me great communication.

Alright Picasso put the paint brush down and step away before you hurt yourself. For claiming to be working at such a great shop you seem to have entirely to much time to watch my thread. Glad you understand that where you shop depicts the level of customer service you experience. Way to go Timmy, you have officially moved the subject to "customer service quality". Why dont you focus on biting your ear so I can move this back to being open minded about EBAY and not flaming people who post what they have found.

I do consider all points of view when they have to do with the focus of the thread instead of derailing it all over gods green earth. Have fun with your wife's need for money cuss your Jew-Bone is not wild like she needs it.
You insult me, so I insult you. Stupid and gets us no where, but still I can hope to get back to focus here. This thread is a total fail on focus of WTF I was trying to say but what ever.

Understand where your coming from but I am referring to the same part. Does it make you or your ride less acceptable or less cool if you got it from ebay motors?
