Did you use Paypal? Did the description clearly state if the kit was for one or a pair? Did you ask?

Leave negative feedback, complain to Paypal.

The old says is still true: caveat emptor

You can't have a list since people change their userids all the time.

Caliper rebuild kits are sold like that. You need to buy two. Doesn’t matter if it’s eBay or not

sounds like a reading comprehension problem to me.

easily solved by asking the seller a question.

conversation avoids conflict most of the time

Logic would dictate that they would be sold in pairs like pads or shoes. They arent

I buy a ton of stuff from eBay for old motorcycles I work on - read and re-read the listings so you know what you're buying, how many, and where it's being shipped from. You have to be really careful and keep in mind that the pictures used may not accurately represent what's being sold.

To the OP, with an old car like our buses, a good part of working on them is understanding the parts, and differences between years. That is one of the reasons no shops want to work on them - how do you bill a client because it took you a week of research just to figure out what was needed, and then find a good one? These cars are HALF A CENTURY OLD.

The burden to know what you need, and whether a certain part will work is on you, not the ebay seller. We are here to help if you have trouble figuring out what you need, but you will also have to do some of the research and study first. No one here can just put their forehead to the monitor and know what you need.

The underlying subject of my original post had to do with purchasing brake parts. In the meantime I found a local mechanic I never knew existed until I contacted a member of the local VW club. The mechanic is going to retire next year and is very nice to talk to on the phone. He's going to do an inspection and I feel I can trust him.
In the meantime I thought I should order a rubber boot for the servo because mine is starting to crack. I couldn't find one online. Can you fellows suggest a seller ? Thanks

not sure anyone has found those parts. The rebuild shops have them sometimes but typically they don't sell D-I-Y stuff. Maybe someone found a source but there have been threads over the years for people looking for that part. It may be a try different ones until it fits. You might find out who did this rebuild and call them:
