eBay/Craigslist Ebay!

I signed on to Ebay and emailed customer service and complained about them caving into Yanmar. I told them I bought a used tractor on Ebay and wanted to resale it on Ebay someday. I think anyone on this board who has an Ebay ID should complain about them not allowing the sale of grey market Yanny's.......

You mean that they should allow auctions for tractors like this one?

Not this again!

Didn't we just have a thread closed about this subject?

Bob,

That's a YM240, the US version of YM2000.

That model was sold in Yanmar dealerships when they had a dealer network here, before they departed in the mid- 80's.

I don't think Yanmar's objection to gray market tractors includes models they brought over for their own dealers.

no that one was intended for the US market and has not been banned. There is one listing that is getting by though......

OK, just out of curiosity, how is Ebay supposed to know if the particular tractor is grey market or if it is old domestic?

And, since I didn't check because I don't follow grey market tractors, what about the other brands like Hinomoto, Mitsu, Shibiru (SP?) and others? Is Ebay stopping those auctions too?

Apparently Yanmar USA has an Ebay user ID and they stated that they will be looking at ebay from time to time looking for grey market Yanmars and they will notify ebay about them.

No we did not have a post informing people that I complained to Ebay. No we did not have post asking others to complain to Ebay.. Why do you not like this post?

I was told they had a list and would check. There is listing getting away with it. Some tried listing as Zen noh but I see they are gone now too...... If no one takes the opposing side Greys will be harder to sell......My point is that I bought my used tractor on ebay so why can I not sell my used tractor on ebay?

Felt like you needed to post it again even when your first try got dumped.

Tell ya what....I'm sorry I said anything and I'll take the high road and kindly bow out on this.
