@savewave User "d d r 0 0 0" (remove spaces) responded to my WTB post. They have a fairly new profile and when I raised the concern of potential fraud they recommended doing Paypal Goods and Services.
I've used that on Ebay, but unsure if that will work on forum sales. Suggestions?

Does anybody know if OEM Parts Oline is legitimate? The site appears to have various Chevrolet dealerships around the country selling genuine factory parts. Their price for my parts needed were about half of what the local dealers charge and less than the General Motors parts web site. The parts I need would come from Malouf Chevrolet Cadillac in New Brunswick, NJ.
I checked out this web site and it appears it could be a scam site. I think I'll check out Malouf (if they exist) and see what they say.

As a courtesy to the seller, I deleted my response on his WTS thread after he viewed it. I did not want to hinder his efforts to sell. Which I predict is highly unlikely. If he can't sell in L.A., he can't sell anywhere. Either that he hasn't tried. I'm on my 74th vehicle, incl. 28 Corvettes, since birth. Not bragging, just saying. Still, you and me have got to be on our toes at all times these days with both part-time and full time scammers. Hence I do zero internet banking. Thanks CF.
