According to the your DHL ship date (3/16/15) that was before he became no longer a registered user.

I've been reading about it and it may just mean his account is suspended on ebay because of violating some terms of service. It doesn't necessarily mean he closed up shop and scammed everyone after being on ebay for 13+ years.

Anyways I sent him a message just to see about my status. Otherwise I may have to dispute this

So I got nailed with a $15.20 VAT charge from FedEx. Just an FYI. So it ended up costing me about $343.00 all said and done.

Was this with Schneidmann?

The ebay seller is using DHL explicitly states in the ad that VAT is included in the price.

Well, it sounds like Schmiedmann suffers from very iffy stock (and is constantly out of stock) while the eBay seller is completely out...argh.

I think the ebay seller doesn't have these items in stock. It takes an additional week before it is even shipped. This leads me to believe that they order from a BMW insider as soon as they have a confirmed purchase on their end. Either way....it would take about a month to from start to finish.

Seller is listed as a registered user. It looks like everything in the universe is okay again. My tail lights have shipped via DHL and on its way to US of A!

For the record I am not unhappy with Schmiedmann. Their respose time was acceptable and they were 100% honest with me regarding the situation. They even offered to give me a refund if I wasn't happy with the lead time. Overall it was a good experience.

it seems ebay will be slightly cheaper $20-$50 cheaper (depending if you buy it now or win an auction). shipping times seem to be about a month for both.

i chose ebay since several members got them there.

Does anyone know how noticeably darker the blacklines are from the regular LCI tailights? It's hard to tell from the images, especially because of the natural light flare that's in the image when taking a picture directly of the tail lights. Is it a lot darker and do you think it's worth it?
