Only found this site today great to find  , I bought these , the bloke was an absolute nightmare to deal with  and the lights turned up eventually in a cardboard box protected by bin liners.... I ask you  what a retard!
Took nearly four hours to polish the scratches off the lens, fitted and working fine now but as with all e-bay transactions buyer beware.
Here I wrongly assumed the photos to be of the actual item, I guess the lesson is to not hand over your cash until you have seen the goods.

Hi John, welcome to DISCO3 
I know what you mean about eBay, have just been fleeced for some wheels and tyres which were described as "new" - arrived scuffed, kerbed and chipped 
Seller doesn't want to know so will be setting eBay on him, if they care!
Glad you got the Xenons working ok though 06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti

I think you will find that the seller has been chucked off ebay.
I was watching these (wanted them) but there was some very dodgy bidding going on.
I may be wrong but I think he had another ID to push up the price.
I see you are in Melton ME TOO would be good to meet up some time and compare 'notes'.

eBay seem to be pretty hot on sorting out issues at the mo, so fingers crossed! The End

Thanks for the warm welcome guys I've been hoping a site such as this was available.
Hi Cliff yes would be great to meet up, drop me a PM and we can arrange.
The seller came up with a load of old tosh about his account being suspended approximately 1 day after I had paid him ! 
But I already had his postal address as he listed accepted payment by cheque and later checked with some people from his previous transactions that this was the mailing address they had used to send his goods to ..... and then I let him know that I knew  simply asking him to confirm his address that soon made him a weee.. bit more compliant although he still took his time and made no effort to protect the shipment.
Not all e-bay people are bad however , I managed to pick up five brand spanking new 19 inch wheels still in the protective wrapping for a fraction of the retail value, although I do still need tyres which are not cheap.
The bloke was a diamond, could not do enough to help, I guess some you win and some you lose.
regards
JohnT
