Default Why isn't Bill in jail yet?????

I believe this is a Federal crime, not to mention against Ebay's policy......

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayIS...item=4653610437

He also has an auction for blank Trim tags. Why can't law enforcement put this bleeding sore on the ass of the hobby away for good??????????

These guys should be shut down. The VIN tag seems to have been stamped from the front instead of from the back. That's a way obvious blunder. I like how he describes it, "neat little stainless gadget". I can't see how ebay could allow this. I sent a note to ebay to report it. Maybe if we all do it something will happen. We'll see.

E bay ain't gonna do squat! They are protected by laW! According to them and so as long as they are not legally in a bind they still make there money!I am beginning to loose all respect for ebay!How can ebay not be legally binded to something like this when they have been made aware it is illegal!

I am not supporting what this guy is selling BUT..eBay is not going to do anything. It's not against the law to sell a piece of metal with CHEVROLET DD stamped on it. There is no visible VIN number stamped that coorelates to a specific vehicle. If there had been, then that would be a different story.

BTW, nowhere does he mention VIN in his auction.

Why is this guy loved and hated by so many people?

He is put down for selling trim and VIN tags and then praised for selling "detail items" like this door tag - which includes the VIN.

Very easy: Because one item promotes fraud and assists in the commission of a felony and is a specifically enumerated item of contraband addressed under Federal Criminal Statutes and the other is a decal that assists in restoration.
