Wayne,
eBay is a competitor to Pelican in some sense. There are new parts for sale there. But I find the prices are many times over what you could purchase directly from you. The used items for sale on ebay are often much more expensive than what I can find on the for sale forums here. Even though fraud continues on the for sale forum here, the community seems to call out the crooks and make everyone aware of what is going on. eBay only cares about lining their pockets. I used to sell a bit on eBay, but found online forums such as Pelican to be a great place to sell. Even though I contiue to use eBay I am as careful as I can be and I use it less and less.
I also find eBay is the place where people with mostly usless Porsche items go to find somebody that is new to all this and unload their crap. Like used 911 (non turbo style) tensioners and the old style tensioner arms.
My .02 worth.
