Inspector Gadget Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I've bought quite a few things from people here and, by and large, have had very positive experiences. I can't say that anymore. I paid a LGT forum member with good iTrader history for a low mileage VF46 turbo on October 24th; he said he would ship it the following Monday and I should have it Thursday or Friday. He just didn't say which Thursday or Friday. It's been nearly three weeks since I paid him and two full weeks since since he was supposed to ship the turbo. No tracking number and no response from the seller. The seller asked for payment as a gift or payment owed, but I am really glad I ponied-up the extra 3% so I could file a claim with PayPal. The silver lining? I found a brand new VF46 close to home for less money. Do I leave negative iTrader feedback for the seller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeGiT_Flat4 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I would absolutely leave negative feedback. Also I would contact the site mods so they are aware of the situation if the seller has gone MIA. Sorry to hear of your troubles- hopefully you get a full refund from PayPal at the very least. Good reminder of why we should not do the gift option unless absolutely certain of who we are dealing with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators BarManBean Posted November 11, 2014 Moderators Share Posted November 11, 2014 Who is the seller? No real good excuse to be out of touch for several weeks, but maybe someone else knows how to contact if they have been around for a while.

BDII Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 PM this thread to him. Give him 1 day to ship it with a confirmation # or you'll post his name. If he plans on sticking around the forum he'll ship or refund. If he stoled your monies he won't respond. I expect he freaks out on you and somehow points the blame at you. Need forum help?

Covious Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Not good. Never use or send payment as a gift . OP said he opted for the standard PP fees for a business transaction, so luckily he's in good standing for a refund Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewLegGT67 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 For expensive items over $200 maybe I need to see a high volume of positive iTrader as opposed as someone that has been a member for only a month trying to sell an item like a turbo. Also, members need to remember to update iTrader once a transaction has completed. This will help potential buyers/sellers in the future. Let us know the outcome from PayPal. I'm probably the only person that has Wu-Tang Clan and Paul McCartney on their mp3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspector Gadget Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 As far as I know the seller has not responded to PayPal. He has been a member here for 9 years and has 11 positive iTrader feedback ratings. Not a ton of ratings, but not zero either. The seller has made no attempt to contact me since he sent the text pasted below on November 3rd. Sorry, haven't been on the boards at all crazy week and weekend. I gave the box to my assistant to drop at fedex last week. I'll be in the office in an hour or so and make sure they went out. I'll let you know. Sorry again for the delayed reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspector Gadget Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 what happens if the money is not in the person's account? Also, what is the members name on here? In my case, PayPal froze the money in his account. I just posted it, but I'll say it again. The seller/scammer was singincanary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singincanary Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I am not a scammer. I refunded your money when I couldn't get the turbo shipped. I apologized for the delay and you got a full refund. Life got crazy. I run my own business, have a family, got crazy. Paypal didn't decide, I refunded the payment. I have more than 100 positive feedbacks on various sites and nearly 300 on eBay. Again, I'm not a scammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not a scammer, but a douchebag seems to fit in this situation. 3 weeks and no shipment? Running a business is no excuse for going 3 weeks without shipment. Can't run a business for long with that poor service, either. Your excuse stinks. Please douche, then go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singincanary Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Please kiss my ass, doc. I apologized. I refunded the money. I admitted culpability and admitted that I could have handled it better. I'm a douche? Please pass judgement on someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
