I convinced my parents to buy me car parts for my birthday. Don't expect an intake, or some coilovers. Its much lamer things, but they are lame things that will make my car have just the finishing details it needs to be truly nice.

Heres what happened. This is my first time ordering fro E-Bay. I made my account and connected to paypal, and everything went well. I added to my cart these products:

1. For 2014 VW Golf MK7 Headlight with Angel Eye and Bi-xenon Projector V2

2. Silicone Protective Key Cover Case Fob Fashion Style For VW Golf MK7

Kinja'd!!!

3. Volkswagen VW Golf 7 MK7 VII 2013~2014 Stainless Steel Exhaust Pipe Muffler Tips

Kinja'd!!!

4. For the Giggles: 2001 VW Volkswagen Golf Cabrio USA Market Brochure Catalog Prospekt

Kinja'd!!!

Heres what happened. I put all of that in the cart, went to the checkout and paid. The next day, I receive a confirmation from every product except the headlights which made me nervous since it was the most expensive thing. The Paypal account says that the payment for the headlights hasn't even been done, and the mail E-Bay sent me also doesn't include the headlights. We tried again today, and got the same result. Nada. Not in a mail in E-Bay nor in the Paypal account payments. And, my mother doesn't want to do it again because she fears they may be somehow stealing the money.

What do you think is happening Oppo? What should I do?

Here is a very nice VW as a gift.

if not, move on to a different seller.

At least you don't need real parts! I need a resonator/midpipe (I already bought the muffler) and I gotta fix my oil leak, too.

Regarding the headlights—if they're HIDs and your car didn't come stock with them, you'll probably need more than just the lamps themselves. Stuff like ballasts, relays, etc.

I can't offer any help bc PayPal has issues and they have some of the worst customer service people ever so I haven't used it in close to 10 years.

However. You are not lame for asking for car parts. I did it this year and I've done it in the past.

It includes the ballasts, the adaptors, and everything else for plug and play.

Trust me, I made sure I bought lights with them.

Oh no, what I called "car parts" (the keyfob skin, muffler outlet) is lamer than performance upgrades people do here.

Try again later. As someone who has an eBay storefront I can tell you they constantly have issues. I constantly lose pictures in listings that have been active for months. I would contact the seller and let them know you're having an issue and they can test it themselves and contact eBay to resolve or relist the listing.

I did exactly that. He answered right away and sent me an invoice. I will try tomorrow, but this helped a lot. Thanks!

Haha I also wanted the original mats that said GOLF, but it was already too much.

Does your golf have a power tailgate?

Nope! Its odd, the key fob has the opener, and when you push it it only partially opens the hatch. You still have to push the VW emblem, so I don't see much of the point.
