It's an eBay thing. It means they have to maintain 98% positive feedback with NO compliants. If you notice by their handle it says "Power Seller". eBay puts that there, not themselves.

The convidence part is in the fact that you don't send your money to them and then they never ship the item.

This guy has a total of 544 positives with only 7 negatives.

You don't happen to have a part number for those Yellow2K shop manuals do you?

Correction, the manuals are orange.

Strangely, they don't use part numbers. Go to:
www.techauthority.com

and use the drop-down menus. If you don't have it already, start with the Service Manual - I believe they are still $90.00

After that, go to the drop-down menu for "diagnostic manuals". I happened to have ordered the same 3-book add-ons (transmission, body, powertrain) as the Ebay offer. This is what the confirmation looked like (ignore the PT
Cruiser manuals) and note that there's no part numbers. Straaange:

P.S. It's GRROWL, by the way (growl is a nice guy in California that I'm swapping floormats with. The fact that his REAL name sounds like "growl" means I won't be hiring AC for a patent/copywright lawsuit).

Actually that's not quite the whole thing - you must also sell a minimum amount each month also to maintain that standing. I'm surprised that they have allowed this guy to continue his standing with that many negatives! My sister sells oil and gas signs and antiques on ebay and has over 10,000 feedback with 0 negatives and she just lost her power seller rating because she has cut back and didn't make the sales quota.

I have 4 negative feedbacks, ALL after I left negative feedbacks on them. I collected insurance on 2 of the 4 after being defrauded. I think I probably have close to 1000 positives.

They read like computer manuals - I thought I bought a car, not a computer (actually, there's 3 major computers, each manual seems to cover one each). This may well push me into buying a DRBIII scanner - WOULD APPRECIATE RECOMMENDATIONS.

Hopefully, the Powertrain and Transmission manuals just go on the shelf until I need them YEARS in the future after the extended warrantee is up. The Body Diagnostic Procedures manual is interesting. It goes into much greater depth on all of the body systems (such as the Chimes, Illumination systems, Low Tire Pressure Warning System, Wipers, Power Door Locks, and more - lists 17 systems). It's fascinating reading the in-depth details on the (overly?)complex Tire Low-Pressure Warning System.

I would suggest that anyone with a Service Manual at least get the Body Diagnostic Procedures Manual ($11.00), but you certainly won't go wrong with the whole set ($26.00)
