Please ban this supplier! Sebring, Only here to take advantage of us Options

[lostreasure]

I purchased what was suppose to be a nice rear bumper that had a little ding as they described-After 4 weeks and 6 calls i finally received it- It was total garbage that should have been thrown in the scrap- They took my money and never credited me back after it was sent back. I made a dispute and they claim it was sent- ok now i have to open up another dispute with credit card. This is a nice club site and we should not tolerate part suppliers that act in this way!

I'm hoping I'm not in the same boat...waiting for my struts to arrive now.

Perhaps I ought to just open a dispute and retract it if they (ever) arrive.

I must admit, I have one of his banged up rear valence that is also trash to me.

I think he's already banned at the bird site.

[lostreasure]

yes Sebring66 Let him sell his crap on ebay and pay for a listing- at least others can leave some neg. feedback- I am out 325 no big deal but don't want others to get screwed!

And...buh bye. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) oops jumped the gun...I'm sure it's coming though...

Yeah looks like a call to the credit card company is in order. They will take it right off.

[Mblizzard]

There can be a problem occasionally with any of us that complete transactions. But when the negative transactions seem to be the norm rather than the exception, then there is a problem. Problems like this individual need to go somewhere else.

Yes. That's him....


Here's my saga....if anyone cares to read it...

I should have kept pressing on the refund...I'll get my money back though.

Jessus!!! Cpt, that sounds like an awful experience. Very sorry you had to go through that, i would have lost it!

[TC.356]

"I purchased what was suppose to be a nice rear bumper that had a little ding as they described . . . "

I have a chromed rear bumper that needs work but isn't garbage, you can have it for shipping if you like? I can take some pics for you and you can decide.

If it's going to be painted, then it might already be perfect for repairs and paint.

Just let me know, OK?

Sorry that you got hit by a scammer ! ! ! !

TC

[Mblizzard]

Doug,

OK so I read the entire thread. If i read it correctly there is a clear pattern of misinformation. That is the only thing that is consistent. Unless I got it wrong, it seems like every promise was next week or friday. So from 8-24 until 10-22 they have had your money and you don't have your parts? It is my opinion that a person that will conduct business in that manner is nothing short of a cheat and a crook.

It takes a lot of balls to offer something to make up for your failure and then still fail to ship. The lack of ethics on their part is astounding and they have no place on this forum. They have no honor, no integrity, no honesty, and they show a complete lack of respect for their customers. Is that what we want here?

If we can't get them off this forum, I would hope others will help me in posting this type of information in each and ever post they make. We might be able to save others the BS that you had to deal with.

[ThePaintedMan]

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif)

Consensus is that they should be gone. So far all they have done is bump up their over-priced ads for useless stuff and have already (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) a few members. Let's not let it get out of hand, especially since many new members don't know any better.

A few of us asked them to speak up on one of their listings and explain what the heck is going on... no response. Why waste anyone else's time or money?

[bulitt]

Doug- I gotta ad that I bought a set of struts, hubs, calipers, rotors...the whole deal off a guy on the bird board parting a 911, all for 300$ And personally IMHO that's probably the going rate unless they are powder coated. So this is perturbing.

Eric posted this in 2008-
It has come to our attention that we have price gougers sending PM's to people here placing WTB ads.

If you're a price gouger... we ask this practice stop. Please post your offer in the open where others can weigh in.

If you're a buyer; Caveat Emptor - If you are placing a WTB ad, be aware there are various "Resellers" who are scouring our classifieds trying to sell you stuff. Caveat emptor = Buyer Beware. If you get a PM be "very" cautious about pricing. Do your homework. We're not saying these people are "bad, crooked, evil or dishonest". It has simply been brought to our attention that some are attempting to price gouge our members.

Buyers - If you do receive one of these emails; you may want to post the prices in your thread for further verification to the validity or reasonableness.

Gang - Fair Trade is just that... "Fair". If you're haunting our classifieds just to make a buck off our members; fine. Do it at a fair price. Make no mistake, we feel this is a valuable service to our members. HOWEVER, if you're price gouging our members; we'll work together to call you out.

LOOKS like this guys has been called out!

Hey Andy,

These guys are scam artists . I guess I was lucky to get my parts in but it took a while. Take a look at the link attached for more info.

[mepstein]

It's about time everyone realized this about the "seller". Many on this board are too quick to jump at FS parts from a lurker. Not everyone is perfect but at least when I sell a part, you know who I am and that I will always guarantee satisfaction or your money back

[SLITS]

I sent Erc a PM about a week ago asking him to ban the seller ... no word from Erc.

This "entity" has screwed a bunch of people on Pelican - 917Longtail

Sebring66 here

maybe some other names elsewhere.

[7TPorsh]

Personally I don't trust anyone/entity selling online that does not accept Paypal as at least one of their payment options. It covers the Buyer. Period

Anything else is suspect.

[carr914]

The only down side about this is, when you Post on a Seller's Ad about their Incorrect description & Insane Prices, you get threatened with a Ban!

Admins, get youir Heads out of your Ass's
