wow this is great schooling for me.........i never knew much about pump plates but i'm learning here.....

...gasteek you stated in your last post ....."but when a seller tries to sell without Paypal, it is a red flag in MANY cases. I did NOT say all cases. ".....

....however in your earlier post you said this........" Be wary that the seller has stated NO PAYPAL on this item, but he normally accepts Paypal. This is ALWAYS a red flag on ebay. "..........

I would like to take the sellers view on this as there are ripoffs from not only the sellers but from buyers as well.........How would you like to sell an original sign for a $1000.00 & have the buyer cancel his charge on pay pal because it was a repo, but in reality it is original......Then the bad buyer sends you a repo back & you have the burden of proving it was an original you sent ..What a mess it becomes.....Moral of the story is, not only sellers can be bad there are some bad buyers also........i just read of this occuring in Antique Trader........The slogan should be BUYERS & SELLERS beware

Hawkike, you said ........Gasteek: After listing the Signal Sign I found the Paypal logo cannot be removed once the auction starts. Hope this clears it up. It was not my intent to create H&D!!!!
Frank.......

I believe you may be able to remove the pay pal logo from your auction......try this

go to my ebay,....... on the left side of the page click on "my Account" then click "Preferences"..........then click on payments from buyers......on the right side of the page click "show" then click "edit"............then click NO for "offer pay pal on listings" then click NO on "display pay pal credit"......there may be a couple of others you may want to click no......

...Then after you have updated this part go to your Signal sign auction & click "revise item", scroll down to offer pay pal & you should be able to remove the logo..........

I had to do this once for the same reasons you are......good luck

Everyone has opinions and its great that we can share them here on this wonderful website. Thanks for your cooporation in keeping your opinions and responses civil. Buyers and sellers should always be cautious when purchasing items over the internet. I agree with DB..shows are the best place to inspect and purchase items.
Thanks

Roadrelics.........Thanks for the info. on removing the paypal logo. It worked!!
I also removed "No paypal accepted on this item."

This should take care of the controversy!

WOW, didn't mean to start a war with this question, still don't know if its real as some are saying it is real and some not. Not sure where to go to find out if these are real or not. This is what these repros are doing to the hobby. Everything is reproduced now days, gas pumps, signs, pedal cars, jukeboxes. Wish there were better ways to stop these from being made. Hundreds of dollars is alot to spend if its not real.

56chiefstar--if you read the post from Dick Bennett and Pablo i think you must agree that this is not a repro.It fits the criteria as original.That fact was verified when i first bought this sign and posted it on Old Gas.

The ORIGINAL SIGNAL SIGN is the one I have on auction and is pictured on the left. Note: The REPOP has a black outer edge and the Original has a white outer edge. The Repop measures 11 1/4" versus 11 7/8" on the Original. The grommets on the Repop are closer to the outside edge than the Original. The lettering is brighter and the stop light is wider on the Original. Those are a few differences I have noted.
