When I need parts, the first place I look is on ebay. I have no problems to report. If an ebay vendor doesn't perform, Ebay forces them to refund your purchase price. Sometimes you have to go to certain vendors for specific items like torque convertors or injectors, for example. I just ordered 80lb injectors and chip from Eric Marshall at Turbo-Tweak. I've dealt with Eric a couple times before with no problem. I've also dealt with Brian at Gbody parts. In fact, I used to provide him with dozens of vacuum brake pedals for those TR owners he sold vacuum brake systems to, but that was a few years back. Sad to hear folks are having problems with his service.

I usually shop around quite a bit and I have bought a few things over the years from GbodyParts and the last thing was a front spoiler about a year ago for my Regal project, I couldn't find this style anywhere else and I am happy with this purchase.
For me I have received everything I ordered and had no issues with the parts that would require a return or some reason to contact them which in most cases from what I read is where a majority of the issues are.

Paypal sucks for sellers, IMO.

Also, ebay is gradually phasing out paypal, some sellers have switched to the new service. As I understand it, once they switch, they can no longer accept paypal on the site.

As a very low volume seller I never got any word that Ebay was going with another payment method to phase out Paypal. Anyways doesn't Ebay still have some sort of corporate contection to PayPal even with it have been spun off.

On Jan 31, 2018 eBay announced that, "After the existing eBay-PayPal agreement ends in 2020, PayPal will remain a payment option for shoppers on eBay, but it won’t be prominently featured ahead of debit and credit card options as it is today. PayPal will cease to process card payments for eBay at that time."

Paypal was spun off as a separate, publicly-traded private company in 2015

One source I read indicated that paypal would be completely out of eBay by 2023

They're going with Ayden, a smaller (and CHEAPER) option. It will do back-end payment processing- basically allowing you to purchase stuff directly from the ebay site like most vendors, without having to be redirected to another place like paypal.

Ayden is profitable, but much much smaller than paypal and others. It's like the movie Office Space where one of the Bob's mentions that they replace the more expensive, seasoned worker's work by farming it out to overseas lower-wage entity. Standard procedure.

It's the way they should have done paypal in the first place, but they didn't, so now they don't want anything to do with it any longer.

You try any others? What parts specifically are you after?
For the interior I need a new console, headliner parts, bezels, new seat belts, 442 emblems for the door panels, sound deadened, window guides, felts, door lock & window switches....basically everything to make the inside look new. Im finding there is not as much out there for the Olds, more MC, GN & Elco’s
