Arrow Ignition/Spark Plug Wires...

I have a set of spark plug wires that fit M103 motors.....They dont fit my car so if anyone is interested, reply or PM me. They are brand spankin new in the box. Bosch Wires; 6 wires per cylinder and 1 to the cap.

My Story: I bought them off ebay (without looking at my wires first; big mistake!) Before I bought them, I asked him if they would fit my car. I gave him the year, make, model, engine size(2.8ltrs), and the type of engine I have (M104). He confirmed that they would fit w/out any problem. They didnt and I emailed him. He said that I could return them but when I shipped them to him, he refused the package because he didnt want to pay a UPS Brokerage fee of $57.00 I also bought a O2 sensor off of him through ebay and he sent me a coolant temperature sensor instead. I sent them back at the same time, that is why the brokerage fee is pretty high + he lives in Canada. I am stuck w/these wires that dont fit and I will sell them at a reasonable price, even though I will probably take a loss of money. Oh well. I offered to split the fee, he pays half and I pay the other but he never responded. I gave him a big Negative feedback to lower his score, especially because it was partially his fault and because of his responses that always took forever to get.

What a jerk. People who run Ebay businesses need to take a class in customer service. Even though they don't actually meet customers in person, they could make the extra effort to answer questions and make sure things will actually work rather than just trying to make a sale. I was once sold a magazine for my gun and when I recieved it in the mail it was not the same magazine in the auction, it was cheaply made, and it got stuck in the gun when I tried it out. I had to disassemble the gun to get the mag out. I left him a neg. The deuch bag ******* left me one in return. If I knew where he was, I'd find him and pistol whip his @ss. *Sigh* Sorry guys, I had to vent.

ebay complaint process

I too had an ebay problem. I went through the complaint process and was refunded 100% of my money plus I left, shall we say, negative feedback. Their system worked well for me.
Good luck!
