erichwaslike Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 u payed thru paypal, dispute it. send them copies of any emails u sent him and any responses he sent u if u have any. Quote Link to comment
saad Posted August 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 he asked me to send the money as ( personal payment ) this is to help avoid anf additional fees i trusted him and i did what he asked . personal payment not protected by paypal that why i cannot open a case although i live in kuwait on the other side of the world but i made tons of deals and no problem att all Quote Link to comment
Elkie Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 You can avoid the fees by sending funds directly from a bank, or using funds already in paypal. The only time they charge fees is when credit cards are used for payment. Sorry you got scammed man. Quote Link to comment
71DIMER Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Saad, you should have Hector or myself look for these wheels for you, there's a lot of them around here. At least that way it's a trusted source! Quote Link to comment
Hardwyre Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 That's seriously fucked up. I propose two groups. Group one: Try and round up some wheels and donation to get a brother out. Group two: Find the piece of shit and get either the wheels or money back. Quote Link to comment
qwik510 Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Saad, Sorry to hear this. The guy even had 100% positive feedback. Really sucks. Do you have an address for him? Maybe a Ratsuner close to him can pay him a visit? BTW, I have a nice set of those wheels I would be willing to sell you. PM me if interested. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Lame...hope you are able to get your $ back somehow :( Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 When you say disappeared, no response from him via email? Did you get a contact number or anything? (If you did, don't post it here) Vigilante stuff isn't good. Are you sure the package is not on the way? Seems odd a guy with 100% feedback would screw you, unless he generated the feedback with a co-conspirator. Either that or maybe he got arrested or something at the post office with the package, but probably not. Quote Link to comment
Burabuda Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 wow sorry to hear you were ripped off scammers often prey on the buyer's honesty and desperation sounds like that's what happened to you and even if you use paypal, you may not be protected case in point, a mitsu parts seller in the philippines -- no paypal ended up scamming $3000+ from buyers who wired him money http://japanesenostalgiccar.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=15751 get this: even thought the guy didn't have paypal, he tried to send me money using other people's paypal accounts not only were they unverified, but they could've been unauthorized i had no way of knowing Quote Link to comment
saad Posted August 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 he selling some parts now!! and when email him no answers coming But when my friend email him he answe so fast. i gave to much time for my wheels i thought they on the way to kuwait but it is more than 90 days now. i dont have more info about him . but i know he livin in elverta CA. the most fun he spend my money to build up his workshop eheheheheheh he bought so many workshop tools. this appear from his feedback from other seller i am watchin him hahahahahahah Quote Link to comment
dennis Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Thats messed up, I hate scammers. Good luck, I know the feeling. The money is not significant enough to go after someone, especially overseas. Quote Link to comment
Pumpkn210 Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Whats he got up for sale now? Quote Link to comment
danfiveten Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Thats why no matter how much someone ask's you to send as a gift, you NEVER DO. usually those people are scammers. This guy needs to be found and the wheels taken. Quote Link to comment

This guy needs to be found and the wheels taken. It is actually against the paypal ToS as well, this is why I'm such a nazi with the confirmed info and so forth. Quote Link to comment

If you look at his feedback most of feedback is from sellers and if you look real close even one of those didn`t want to leave positive ( slow payment ) And as a side note what kinda knucklehead pays $80. for an bronco armrest Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 You should give him negative feedback on ebay. He appears to answer those.... Quote Link to comment

Either that or maybe he got arrested or something at the post office with the package, but probably not. All I see is that you paid and he replied that he got paid and was sending the rims. If he was ripping you off why even reply? So have you sent further e mails and got replies? There are any number of possibilities why sending them has been delayed or why delivery has been delayed. This is unfortunate but more needs to be found out about this first. He's being called a thief and worse and could have simply been in a accident or sick...... Quote Link to comment
saad Posted August 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 not sick he still a life and selling on ebay never provide shipping proof or trackin or anything also never reply my emails it is more than 90 days now lol Quote Link to comment
