I have been using ebay for over twenty years. Over 4000 transactions and have 100% feedback. If it were that bad, I would have quit long ago.
At least with ebay I get return rights and buyer protection. Something you often do not, cannot get when buying direct.
Good luck but be well aware, you may order a brand new, genuine Jacobs arbor from wherever you pick.
A good chance that Jacobs is now having their arbors made in China.
The new old stock Cushman arbor was for certain US made.
You asked for help, I did try.

yes, that is what I said in my first PM to you, "Jacob arbors are made in China" and that is why I won't buy them.
I will search Cushman arbors. but as for now, I won't feel guilt for overlooking Ebay.
thanks for the help!
