Buyer Beware
 

Well I usually wouldnt do this but I have been scammed and I felt I should tell other so this seller cant do this to someone else.

I found a front and rear 300zx hub and brakes on seperate auctions on ebay and I contacted the seller outside of ebay to purchase both the front and rear together. I have waited about a month and a half now and have received nothing. The seller would not provide me with a tracking # and kept delaying. After telling him to refund my money or give me some proof that the brakes were sent out he has not returned my emails since.

The sellers ebay name is: importnut2005 and he seems to sell only 300zx parts. His email address is: micheal2k4240@msn.com
I just wanted to give a heads up to buyers that may come across this guy. BEWARE!!

Thanks for listening

Thank you for th warning

see its things like this that make me not trust people.........good luck with it man.

hope everything turns out good... sheesh what a douchebag

Thanks guys. It is frustrating. You try to trust people but then things like this happen.

why not have EVERYONE on this board email this punk???


My mails been sent.

Lets go forum hunting :devil: and skin this sucka up,I hate when ppl abuse of the confidence of others .Hey bro I hope everything turns out good but I think u should start contacting authorities ..seriously dont give these mofo's a break b/c they are gonna keep doing it to other ppl.

You should be able to get his information through ebay if you just win one of his auctions.

that sucks, sorry to hear ... was it one of those "i'll buy it if you end the auction?" i do that for others, but i'm honest when it comes to me selling. BUT, you can't trust everyone. good luck!

You guys rock! Thanks for the support. I have contacted my bank so hopefully they will be able to get my money back after investigating.

Well the guy had one auction for the front brakes and one for the rear and I emailed him asking if I could buy both at once and pay less shipping. He agreed and ended the auction.

BTW here is the link to the auctions:

how'd you pay? see what sucks, is that ebay can't cover your back either :-/ because the auction didn't officially end.

i guess you could contact ebay. just play like you're dumb and you asked him to combine for shipping, he ended auction and told you to pay, you did, and you got screwed. MAYBE they'll help.

It's pretty tough if you didn't actually win the auction (and pay with Paypal or similar protective service) because anything that happens outside of Ebay isn't Ebay's responsibility anymore. Sometimes Paypal will refund you after their own investigation provided that you pay through Paypal and that you have the coverage.

Do you have any proof that you paid the seller? If so, what is it?

Yeah I payed through paypal but I guess you can only claim before 30 days after the transaction. I do have proof of the transactions and proof through emails that the seller would not give me tracking information and kept delaying.

actually contact paypal. they will at least limit him. this will hurt his scamming. ive done this before to someone and got my stuff with the quickness. the thirty days is to get your money back. but you can put a pretty hard hit on him by contacting paypal. he will have to provide tracking numbers to them or give your money back in order to lift the limits they impose. screw that punk. good luck if you need anymore help my dad is military intel. no b.s. he has helped me get people like local authority and feds on some peoples asses when they do this crap to me. ill help you the best i can i hate punks.
