You can report them for that and the listing will get pulled. I do it for fun.

I was like, nice, I'll pick these up! I don't like chrome, but get them powder coated in gun metal or matte... Then I saw that "little" gotcha.

eBay doesn't car how much a seller charges for shipping now, because they changed their policy and now apply their "final value fee" on the combined purchase price + shipping total.

Not true, ebay policy still prohibits this and you can still get listings pulled. Report it and see for yourself.

http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/...practices.html

Shipping and handling costs
Be sure to specify shipping costs and related service charges in your listings. It's against our rules to provide unclear or misleading shipping information or to charge unreasonable fees for shipping and related services.

edit: I just reported it. Let's see if it gets pulled.

No. They are made in the Doitchland, Austria, and Poland. It all depends what factory they came from but they are all authentic.

Also, I've bought wheels and tires from these guys. They are A-OK in my book. That Ebay shipping thing is a joke and really tickles me in the wrong way.

If anyone wants the wheels, let me know and I will PERSONALLY go pick them up for you. I cant wait to see the look on their faces when I pull out three bills.

I asked if i could come pick them up.

Response:
" sorry!!! this auction must ship // no pick up available!!! "

To me this is just poor business. It's as if you are trying to purposefully trick people into bidding/buying. I suppose it's on the buyer to pay attention, but it seems in poor taste.

I LITERALLY just bought a set of 20's for my bro's BMW. They even mounted and balanced the tires on the wheel and then mounted the set on his car. IN THEIR PARKING LOT, WITH THEIR EQUIPMENT, AND THEIR LABOR!

LOL this is a joke, I really thought highly of these guys, now they deserve to be reported.

Not to say there is anything wrong with the wheels or their products, and they're pricing may still be great, it's just an ebay posting in poor taste.

That said, I knew this price is was a steal, and usually if it's too good to be true it is. But it almost got me, I was getting ready to buy, went to input shipping cost and noticed.

Oh well... this post was more for entertainment than to rattle anyone's cage.

^ Yeah I know...

Their products are good and prices are very reasonable. It sucks that someone I rather liked is involved in unethical business practice. Things like this make it impossible for me to refer them business; I mean, what does this say about their business motto?
