I had bought a set of calibers from sammyb for a $100 a day shy of two weeks . I have talked to other members that have similar stories . Sam said he had some problems last week and I told him he could just send a refund if things are that bad that he can not mail anything out . Then I get next day , next day....
Now he reads my pms but does not return them even though I asked . I gave him till Monaday (yesterday) to do something before I filed with paypal . So today I did file a cliam with paypal to get my money back after seeing he read my messages but did not write back .I would not know I was the only person with a problem if I had not looked at the sale thread .

Check out the second page of the thread .
As much as I do not like to post this and had warned sammyb I guess it is apparent he really does not care . If there is anyone else out there that has a dispute with sammyb feel free to chime in .
Also adminastrators can check this out or maybe you can write the dude a pm to get his attention as my pms do not seem to do the trick . I would greatly appreciate it .

I am in the same boat as snake charmer. Reads but never responds to PM's I filed a claim. Sammyb saw it and sent me an echeck refund which will not clear til the ninth. Which means he has spent our money already. Do not buy from him.

Same here. I was told of problems at home so I said that is understandable and Sammyb said he would mail out monday, which was yesterday. I said fine email me a tracking number on monday. Well it is now Tuesday and no tracking number or an email. I wish I could get the strut bar but I am tired of waiting I will also be filing with paypal. Maybe he is a good guy and has just had a lot of problems but I will not buy from him.

Same issue. I sent him $150 for the Sumitomo 315/35/17s and received nothing. I PMed him plenty of times and he definately read them. About a week later, I finally emailed him and he emailed me back with this story:

So I emailed him back and apologized about his "daughter" and said I still wanted the tires. I eventually got a PM a few days later saying he was going to have to refund my money... but he never refunded it. I PMed him trying to find out why the money was going to be refunded but got nothing. I did this twice.

I filed a dispute with PayPal last night and woke up to an email today from PayPal saying there was a $150 eCheck coming my way.

I feel no sympathy for this guy. There is absolutely no reason why he should have issues at least PMing or emailing someone to explain what the problem is.

User profile for sammyb,
email address he listed is sammyb02@sbcglobal.net

Has anyone tried email and calling him as well?

Keep filing with Paypal and if that is not resolved, file a claim with the local police dept in his area with an internet fraud case.

I have emailed him and that seemed to get his attention since he actually emailed me back but I went ahead and filed a dispute with PayPal and he sent me an eCheck for the $150 refund. Josepy did the same and he also has an eCheck awaiting clearance.

I just got a pm from him claiming he sent item via dhl and he wants me to stop my claim . Only thing is once you close the claim it can not be open back up so I will wait till item is received . I will keep yall up to date .

really he is sending yours. i told him i still wanted mine. im not closing my claim until the e-check clears. which i have not faith in. im expecting it to not clear and to hear more excuses from him.

I also still want the tires but he is already sending me the eCheck. My dispute will not be closed until the eCheck clears. I also just received another PM from him:

My Reply:

Sam,
Where in the **** do you get off geting a ******* attitude with me! I have been more then patient with you and your problems. If you don't have the time to sell then don't sell you should have thought of that before you started. If you wanted some more time not a problem all you have to do is ask not just assume I am going to think somebody with zero feedback is not trying to screw me over. You dumb ****, what are you ******* retarded and then to top it off send a email like this. This will be going up in the LS1 tech feedback section to let members know what kind of guy you are. I hope you don't like doing business with Mexican Americans because after this I doubt you will get any. Thanks Bud. - Mike

That's exactly my problem with him. If he would have just emailed/PMed me saying he needed more time to ship the items I would have gladly allowed it but there was absolutely no response. This is ridiculous.

Hey people just saying hi. So I am not the fastest parts shipper in the world sue me. Sorry for all the confusion but now that I see this I really don't care. I use to sell all the time on here. This is the reason why I stopped. Anyhow, enjoy your parts.

When people pay you there hard earned money they expect at least a half way decent turnaround. Not sporatic PM's and lies about refunds or ship dates. It took us to file claims before you did something right. You had no problem taking and spending our money immedialtely. Now I have to wait for you e-check to clear. Wow what a guy.
What parts. You shipped out 1 persons stuff dumbass. You really didnt expect all of us to get together and find you out? Do us all a favor puke and stay off this site. You have now made me skepticle on buying anything on here again. This site has been good to me and a lot of my car has been built off of here. What reason did you stop for. You screw people in the past and your upset they got mad at you. You are worthless.

If you used to sell stuff on here all the time, why do you have a trader rating of 0?

Just ONE ******* PM would have been nice. That's all I wanted... one PM within a week to tell me that the shipping was going to be delayed for a bit but you were making every attempt possible. I would have been satisfied with that. Instead, it has come down to this.

What is your excuse for this anyway? You clearly read my PMs the day I sent them.. how difficult is it to hit that reply button and let me know what's going on?

Man you would not be here if you would have just responded to one of my pms or emails from last week . Aside from that seeing how many other people have been treated in this thread it would of for sure happened sooner than later .
Also if you are going to take so long shipping something you might want to let the good honest folks that have sent you their hard earned money know that it is going to be a few weeks to begin with . Maybe then there would not be so much confusion .

Time to keep the theater chatter down in here.

Everyone due any parts and/or refunds post
Username
Part waiting on or
refund amount waiting on
Any payment and/or parts recieved with date

The only nagging question: "secretary"? Sometimes its worth looking at their profile and read what they have posted. If its all for sale stuff and a few "yea, not contributing to anything in particular" that should set off bells its a non-sponsor and potential trouble. Unfortunately.

Just make sure to file any claims within 45 days if you used paypal or the claim will be denied.

I'm waiting on the eCheck refund of $150 to clear through PayPal. It's been a couple days now and nothing. I don't know offhand how long it takes one to clear but I would expect only a couple days. I still have a dispute open with PayPal. I never escalated it to a claim but I will if the eCheck does not clear.
