What a mess! I mailed him/them that I would do my best to stop his/their fraudiual activity. These are the excuses I got:
Excuse #1 (today 16.01): Christer, Even though I am not registered under eBay anymore, I Have filed a claim with the USPS for insurance. I am not going to leave anyone in the lurch. I took the information you provided and I am handling the claim and the funds will come back to me. I can either send you back the money you sent, or I can send you another mirror. I have two more of these assemblies that I got from a Chrysler dealership. I get most of my NOS items by visiting obscure dealerships around the US . I got into problems with eBay because my wife, now my ex-wife ruined my credit and all my credit cards and bank accounts had to be closed. I have a friend of mine selling some things of mine to keep things going. I dont want any trouble down the road.
Let me know if you want a refund, or if you want another mirror. I assure you that the I did mail you the first one and that I have all the paperwork to prove that. I will gladly mail you another one and I will track and insure again. I would not believe that lighting strikes the same place twice. Please call me anytime day or night.

Excuse #2 (today 16.07): No, my name is Cole, I work with Jeffrey. I am taking care of some items for him. He has had some serious finanacial difficulties with his wife. I am sure that if you contact him he will work everything out with you. We have a system here in the United States that is not too fair to men in divorce and I know he is under a great deal of stress lately. Best Regards -Cole.
Excuse 3# (today 17.25)Christer,
My co-worker Cole just contacted me and let me know that you had indicated to him via email that you were worried about some type of fraud. I will only try to assure you that that is not the case. I am going thru hell on my end, but as I stated in an earlier email, I dont leave people in the lurch. My problems are not yours, and I will do everything on my end to resolve this with you. Again, I will give you a refund, or ship you another mirror. The two others I have are identical to the one you purchased. Please dont make trouble for Cole he is new to eBay and trying to help me out until I can resolve things with my eBay account.
Thanks again,
Jeff

Well, my conclusion is that they don´t want me to interfere with their business. I have mailed them the two pic´s and it will be very intresting to hear their explanation. It is not a very easy situation for me. It is very hard to tell for sure if they are honest or not. The fact that he once has become a non-registred-ebayer makes me very suspicious though. Maybe he wants to be honest but doesn´t have the financial means?
