I agree! I don't understand how in the He** they get positive feedback. They are making a killing from this CRAP!

I'd like to see what this product looks like even if it's just a picture of the box. You'd think that for around ten bucks Chrysler would have thrown it in. I guess this guy is smarter than their engineers.

Chrysler couldn't afford the extra ten bucks with all the money they lost on the XFire.

Well looking at the negative feedback shows if you complain they will hit you too. A guy gives them negative feedback for not sending it after three months and they give him negative feedback saying:

"We will ship your item again at no extra charge. Please contact us."

What a flawed feedback system. I've been held up by that BS before too. "We'll give you a refund after you withdraw the negative rating"

I agree this is a part of e bay that needs sorting. I purchased a new cover for my cell phone they sent a damaged part. I sent it back as requested by them and waited a month and a half for a replacement that never came so I gave negative feedback. I received negative feedback from then saying I was a time waster dont deal with this guy.

I totaly agree that the ebay feedback system is way flawed. The sellers shouldn't be allowed to wait for your feedback before entering theirs. I got negative feedback after I received the wrong item and tried contacting the seller on multiple occasions with no luck. Once I entered a negative feedback tho, you know the a$$ came right back with his own negative feedback. That so Pissed me off, but I kinda figured it was going to happen. He said he'd take back his if i took back mine. Heck with that, I'll take the hit to warn others. EBAY SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!

i think the whole idea of rating customers is odd. imagine standing in line at starbucks or target with a rating on your head. the cashier would be like, 'uh oh, this person has some negative feedback...watch out.' that, in my opinion, is not right.

I think I'm going to buy two. An extra 180 HP would definitely come in handy.

Ebay seller "g-ordus" does this too. I've bought several Crossfire things from him and never would he give me feedback unless I gave him a positive one first. Needless-to-say, I never gave him feedback nor would I ever buy anything from him again. He has a 100% positive feedback rating out of 14869.

Can't you forward a copy of this sellers threat to the Ebay staff and report him as doing bad business and show that his feed is not warranted?

If I'm not mistaken, ebay has taken on this problem and initiated changes which resulted in a huge boycott by sellers.

There is a difference between walking into a Starbucks or other store and buying a product as compared to buying sight unseen from some remote internet seller. The system has flaws, but a lot of people are using it.

First off, I'm not defending this guy. but if you understand how an engine is controlled electrically, you can do this.

Example, let's say you have some nasty, powerfull, mo-hunking turbo-diesel motor puttin out 900Hp and 1200 ftlb, 90 hp isn't that much.

Well, I am not an expert when it comes to increasing horsepower on a car but anything over 10 hp for $10 buck throws a red flag no matter what. I have bought a few things from Ebay but the only thing that I bought that feel I got screwed on was a CAI for my 3000GT N/A. I had to cut and file the steel tubing to get it right. Never bought anything else from that guy.
