Yeah, I got done a few times - sold 6 meters of braided hose, on a signed for thing, the buyer said they never recieved it, even though it had been signed for. Then I had to give them a refund for £35. That put me off selling on ebay.
Like many others, I gave up on eBay a while back. I had problems as both a buyer and a seller, and the cut that they / PayPal take doesn't represent value for money.
Final straw for me was an item I purchased but which never arrived. Chased seller, and he had a delivery receipt from courier saying that it'd been put through letterbox. Pointed out that item was far bigger than a letterbox. Courier changed their answer to "left in back garden". Pointed out that I was in the back garden all afternoon, and the gate was locked. At this point the seller decided that I was pulling a fast one (and I don't blame him - I would have thought the same) - eBay agreed and refused to refund. Not worth my time to follow up anymore, so gave up on my money, but vowed there and then to avoid eBay for anything except cash purchases.
phoned scparts today, the guy from there parts department was trying to determine weather the holes had been tapped with a worn out die which i wasnt really interested in, told him i wasnt going to try and thread the holes and i would post the pump housing back when my money had been put back in my paypal account. the money was put back into my account by the time i got home from work

I would agree with Mr Brake. Where I can I get all I can from Canleys. I can't ever remembering having a problem with them. My water pump house was a straight replacement I can't even remember doing it so it must have been painless!

The one I have, and I really can't remember where I got it, was full of swarf and all of the 5/16" UNF tapped holes showed signs of having been done with an unlubricated/worn out tap. I nearly sent it back, but they cleaned up well enough with a decent tap. I did loctite the 3 studs that hold the water pump to it though. It's been ok for a while now and does weigh a whole lot less than the cast iron one it replaced.
