I have bought gaskets from Stan for years. We originally started with me telling him what I wanted and he put it on eBay. After a year or so doing that, I just bought direct; calling was the only way to get him most of the time as he isn't an email guy. In any case, last time I called him, he complained to me that eBay had put him out of business. I didn't know what he meant but I did see his eBay store had disappeared as well as his website. I don't think he is likely to get back into the gasket business.

I've tried to call him, no luck. What's left are the sharks being protected by eBay. Got two survey requests about their handling of my negative feedback complaint. Not only did it disappear but they want me to give them good reviews of them protecting a obvious crook selling an item that doesn't belong in KZ/Z1 engines. NOT GOING TO DO IT
BTW, eBay is no longer an American company. :angry:
