Yes, I have noticed the same thing on eBay not

only on ther 107, but my C280, I bought a STAR grille, and a few chrome trim parts on eBay and the quality was Ok for the grille, whidh was a cut down grille, as you could see the marks left by a dremel or whatever they used, but it fit and looks good. The chrome parts were very high quality, but the particular seller, I both them from stopped selling on ebay. I wrote him and he said some the the buyers were expecting platinium instead of chrome. His service was great w days from NY and he charged what the carrier charged. It is illegal in federal law to charge a buyer more then the actually shipping charges, as that is considered profit, CFR49, Transportation, but of course there is a catch 22 to most things, adding handling can suffice, but a lot of thes sellers, just show shipping, and I know, this business and most of them mark up there rates at least 50%.I bought headlight trim taillight trim and door handle cups from this seller over 18 months ago and they have all stayed in place and are as bright as the day I bought them.

Avoid the sellers that do not state where they are located, I find most, especially one are mostly in Hong Kong and sell JUNK, to us "trusting Americans?"
