Its a real webpage but the contact address is a post office box and the phone is a mobile....... very dodgy, shame you didn't ask before you bought. There are a heap of well known and reliable places in Aus to buy this kind of stuff.

I`m sorry dude, I just scanned their site, and they give 2 different ABN`s(Australian Business Numbers) for the same business name!

Check the ABN they give in the "Contact Us" part, then have a look in the "Products" section, and click on the "Policy" button, and look at the ABN they wrote under the "Refund Policy" section.

Like 51jay said, their address is a PO Box in a shopping center!

Theres not much you can do... sorry.

okie dokes... this is what I have found out:

* MAXIMUM CAR PERFORMANCE is a registered business name in QLD - BN18279363 (thats its number)

* ABN: 88 412 001 676 (found on policy page) is registered as HORSEPOWERINABOX.COM / RPM PERFORMANCE CENTRE and registered by TIMOTHY D & NADINE B POSSINGHAM. Business located in SOUTH AUSTRALIA.

* ABN: 81 718 416 027 (found on contact us page) is registered as MAXIMUM CAR PERFORMANCE / Xtreme Car Performance by MATHEW DILLON.

Now, I beleive that he has just copied his policy shit off horsepower in a box hence why he has 2 abn's.

That 2nd ABN seems like the correct one. Quick look in the phone book under DILLON in Elanora showed quite a few listings, so cant help you there sorry.

um, hope some of that helps

Mathew Dillon registered xtremecarperformance.com.au through Melbourne IT using the second ABN in dAVE's above post.

At the time of registration, he was an iPrimus.com.au (ISP) customer. His username was/is 'mdill'.

But eBay should be able to give you his home address and fixed line telephone number, assuming he gave them to eBay when he signed up for their service in the first instance.

Edit: Oh, and his web-site is hosted through Magic-Moments.com.au.
