I've been kinda looking for some wheels for drag radials and posted a WTB in the For Sale section. This same guy contacted me telling me he had what i was looking for. He tried the bait and switch (offering a low price at first and then came back for a high price)....but when I asked to buy just the rears instead of all 4 he immediately came back and said he found someone to buy the other 2 and it would be no problem. I mean it was like 20 min later. He also said they had 10 miles on them....so I guess he lives just around the corner from the dealer???? He kept pushing me left and right that he had someone to buy the fronts but didn't want to sell them unless I bought the rears. He also sent me some pics of Midnight Silver wheels and even though I called him on it he swore they were polished. That just thew all sorts of red flags and I told him to send me the wheels first and then I would send money. Of course that was the end of that.
I can tell you that I'm not buy anything that I can't see in front of me unless it's from one of the paying sponsors.
Thanks for posting your situation. Hopefully you'll some how get your money back but even if not you have probably saved a few people from falling victim to this guy or maybe someone else. |
If they do ban atleast his name and user account then he would have to make a new one and like others said buying something from a person without a lot of history will make people alot more nervous. Ive been lucky and that the stuff ive bought from ebay has never been a ripoff and once i used paypal but the seller never sent the item to me after like 10 days so i got my money back and got the same item cheaper from someone else lol.
Paypal can be awesome but you still need to be careful. I hope you do get your money back and can stop that guy from doing it to other people.
