    ya but the positive outweighs the negative.

    Look at the 6 month ratio its 10328 positive 47 neutral 49 negative,

    49 is a pretty "my-NOOT" number

    Look at the 12 month ratio its 24847 positive 154 neutral 104 negative,

    again 104 is pretty low compared to 24847 positive.

    Ebay really hammers the vendors for customer problems. The vendors sometimes send customers pleas to rate them high because they say Ebay "punishes" them for complaints and lower ratings
    from customers. That said, if a vendor STILL gets the type of complaints I read, I would not take a chance on them. However, the prices at Rock Auto (a top rated supplier) are comparable.

    1986 Toyota Van (Standard Replacement- NOT Economy):


    MEVOTECH Part # MK9626 Upper: $15.62

    MEVOTECH Part # MK9533 Lower: $18.01

    MOOG Part # K9626 Upper: $19.99

    MOOG Part # K9533 Lower: $35.79

    Beck Arnley Part # 1014056 Upper: $21.79

    BECK/ARNLEY Part # 1014023 Lower: $38.79

    The "Economy" ball joints from Rock Auto are even cheaper ($10.87 - $21.79). Which category would the eBay vendor's ball joints fall into, economy or standard?
