Paul Allen, AKA The Andante, AKA BMW 320 Brakes, Ripped me off $500 Options

[sclarke7171]

I normally wont complain about someone ripping someone off, but when its my hard earned money, i'll bleed and carry on like the world is going to end.

Paul Allen. AKA Ebay "theandante"
or as you may know, the guy that does the BMW 320 upgrades.

I have been comunicating with him for many month and got a reply every time i replyed to him.. it took him a few days but thats ok.
Then we struck a deal. $500 USD for a brake upgrade and misc other bits.

Paypal money was sent, he received it under another name and thats when i thought that is strange, must be his wife.

6 or so emails sent to him with only one reply... "Loss of a family member, will send the brakes"

few emails since sent.... not one reply...
Funny he has time to email and perform daily Ebay tasks and sell items as many as he can, but cant reply to me...

So i filled a complaint with Paypal.. I'll get my money back and i will bag the shit out of him on all the BMW brake threads.

Just because i live in the British Penal colony, does not mean im a bread stealing moron with no idea on how to perform a business dealing.

Am i right to say that there are people who think Australia is a 3rd world country and we all have pet Kangaroo's and talk Slow??
Hell yes we have red necks and hell yes we have vast open spaces of nothing but bush and desert... But at a population of 25 million im sure something is going right "Down under" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif)

Im not a wealthy man, but im not broke either. i live comfortable and compared to my age group 40 odd year old mates im doing alright in the finacial stakes.

Pure satisfaction would be to jump on a $1500 flight to the US and snot the bastard.
But as i have better things to spend my $$ on like my children, 914's and my upcoming outback trip to have a Bush fight in the Boxing tent in Birdsville, i'll let the legal proceeding commence, after that i'll enjoy my rant and source a set of monster Brembo's so the 914 melts rotors off.....

Your turn !!!!!!

Update
He refuses to answer my emails.
PayPal won't refund me as he gave them a tracking number that I've use to track the parcel and it's classed as a letter on the USPS tracking.
I never received anything from the low life bucktard.
Has made my 914 experience sour at the moment and the love is not there.
So I'm just putting my cars on hold and fixing up my Kombi for now.
Had a big trip in my Amarok and that has given me the outback travel bug. So much to see. Mmmm I think summer will spark my desire to finish the 914.
Till then I'll dream of warm weather and Kombi love. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Hey Steve, I'm a little late to this thread but for the record, I've never thought Aussie's were slow or anything like that. I don't think people here in America think that at all. I've never heard anyone say anything negative about you folks down under. I believe most people there think you guys are a lot like us except there are a lot less of you!

When you say Kombi, are you referring to a VW Bus? I have a 70' Westfalia Tin Top that unfortunately has been neglected ever since I bought my 914 last year. Hopefully I can finish building the stroker motor that I have all prepped over the winter.

Like everyone else, I suggest you get in touch with Eric at PMB for your brake needs. Anyhow, good luck with your projects.
