vendor selling fake parts as real parts - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

dear mods why will you let sellers on here sell china parts advertised not as replica but as real parts and use photos of the authentic parts installed on a car. you make private users post signs of their username with the parts but this vendor with 6 posts is selling replica parts, saying nowhere they are replica parts and using someone else photos maybe I am the only one that sees an issue with this but i cant see that i would be.

That's why I clarified if they were replica parts in their other thread. Replica makers needs to either say "replica" or "style" in their descriptions.

they commented to you in the other thread but aren't posting them as such and using someone else's photo of a car with authentic parts, this is 100% misleading and should be dealt with if you are going to make members prove their parts are indeed theirs.

Oh yeah, don't get me wrong, I agree with you. It is very misleading, that's why I said they should say "replica" or "style."

you know that little triangle icon with a ! in the middle of it?

easier to use that than to start a thread...

"This is ONLY to be used to report spam, advertising messages, and problematic (harassment, fighting, or rude) posts."

Not sure this falls under any of those.

I already brought up this to admin a couple years back.... basically you can use it to report anything that needs immediate attention.

And now they're making you contact them for a price, whereas just yesterday, they had their pricing posted. That's just ridiculous.
