This thread brings a major case of the "What the f**k just happened?"

Edit: This page may help you with your answer also. http://ebay.about.com/od/frequentlyaskedquestion1/f/faq_archived.htm

If you want to start legal proceedings, you will need to start them to get Ebay to give you anything.

Tim, you're asking a question and people are trying to be helpful, and you're coming back with smart ar$e replies.

There's a thread not even a couple of weeks old about being respectful to one an other. Ease up or leave. Its pretty simple.

Interestingly, vin tag FAST results run yesterday show 1990. Need listing to confront seller.

seller may have been unaware?

my car is tagged as a 93 model, its really a 90 by fast.

id say contact ebay.

Ebay can give three years under archive, this falls outside their maximum scope according to enquiries. It needs someone with serious IT skill to get the result from web capture ebay archives.

If someone has dealt with ebay and retrieved a listing after 3 years then I would like to know.

You mean you want someone to hack into eBay?

Luke, let's just say it's a lot worse than a simple couple of years on a VIN tag. I can't go into it further at this point in time though. The seller was absolutely aware.

Useful Info for others reading this... The seller does not need to be aware for you to recover your funds. There was a recent case where a seller sold a Falcon GT to a guy in Sydney. It turned out to be a rebirthed car. Seller genuinely didn't appear to know. Court accepted seller didn't know it was a fake and awarded buyer $108,394.04 plus costs on top. The case name for those interested is Sammut v De Rome [2011] QDC 294.

Second case is Cassar v Pegoraro [2011] VCC 819. In a nutshell, a plumber sold a fake XY GT, which he knew was a fake. Buyer took him to court and won $81,688.78. In a corresponding criminal trial he got 12 months gaol to be suspended after 3 months. What this means is he went to gaol for 3 months then released on parole for the remainder.

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
