The only reason someone does that is because they have tons of negative feedback and want to start over with a new name so it doesn't look bad. Plus he has 2 negatives, 1 neutral, and 2 mutually withdrawn feedbacks in the last 30 days!! I'd look somewhere else.
Just FYI - when you change userid on ebay you keep your previous ratings (good or bad). I know because I changed my id once. There are probably lots of reasons for changing ids, mine was my old id had part of my name in it and I thought it was best not to do that

But you can register a whole new id and that would wipe your slate clean. Just one of the many problems with ebay.

In any event, I would stay away from that auction too.

digital1986, I did a ton of searching and found a few people that had bought ebay rotors. I couldn't find a single post from anyone that had disasterous results from using ebay rotors. I figured it sounded too good to be true, but I didn't think it would hurt to ask you guys for more info. I'm really not as ingorant as you imply lol. I just thought it would be worth asking.

Thanks again for all the help guys, This is the first time I've needed brakes on my G and I've learned alot here. I'm leaning towards the ones from irotors.com. They seem pretty reputable and it's good to know that someone has had good luck with them in the past.

Come on man let's not insult people for asking questions. I've bought ebay rotors everytime I've had to replace mine with excellent results. Cross drilled slotted rotors that lasted years without rust or warping for the cheap, so no it's not a stupid question. Personally I would look for a company with more feedback as the others have said though.

i'd say if you dont track the car, ebay rotors are fine to "try" and if you post the results here then we'll all know next time

Yah..I kinda didn't want to be the guinea pig with a vendor that has a suspicious reputation. R1 concepts seems to be one of the major ebay sellers and people seem to like them. They just don't make them for my car. I'm glad to see that not everyone thinks I'm a total moron for being curious about these ebay rotors. I'm new to this stuff and I'm here to learn.
