I drove the Z to the mall for a hooters meet and then when we had that big cruise down in the afton area. I swapped pads on the squeaky BBK I had and drove it a bit to test that, and that was it last year. I was busy with our daughter, who just turned one last month. I plan to get it out more this summer.

Why do you need to remove spot welds?

I don't. I figured there's a painless way to remove everything. Did you remove your dash, too?

So for you eBay experts, what should do about the following? I'm just considering all my options.

I paid for the exhaust on 3/10, and the vendor page stated that the estimated delivery date would be sometime between 3/15 and 3/21. I hadn't gotten any tracking updates for days, even though I got a note saying the label was created on 3/12 or 3/14. Anyway, I contacted the seller who replied today that the item "will be shipped out this week."

I'm not worried about the money. The transaction is fully protected. However, I'm disappointed with the response and the shipping issue. Should I leave negative feedback or complain to eBay? Should I do both?

Negative feedback is the only way theyll know your discomfort in the service provided. Do it.

I'm just disgusted with the fact that businesses who rely on customers who shop online cannot hold up their end of the deal and have the item shipped out ASAP. I mean, this is the only country in the world that can affect an electronic financial transaction on the same day. Yes, it's true. So if I'm able to pay electronically and get that money into the business account within a day, then they should be able to ship that item out within 2 days. I'm not asking for much, am I?
