Angry Do not buy from this seller!!!

I tried to buy decals from a seller on e-bay and now he still hasn't sent decals and will not refund money. Instead I get harassing e-mails now wanting more money. I have filed a complaint already with E-bay and paypal, but don't want anyone else getting screwed by this guy. Please stay away from this seller:

"Decal by AutoGraFics.com" <decals@autografics.com

This guy tells you to send him a certain amount of money w/free shipping and then sends you an e-mail wanting more for "rush shipping" which was not initially offered. then when you contact him, he ignores you, tries to block your e-mail address, and then finally when he realizes you r not going away, responds in a vulgure threatening manner. Great guy to deal with huh? I just want what I ordered, in a timly manner, or my money back, like a normal person would ask for.

If it's the same Autografics as the website, I don't have any complaints about them. They've always been cool with me, and even sent me free rear fill-in decals when they sent me an extra pair of side door decals by accident. I ordered all my stuff thru the internet site though. I'd email thier contact address at chughes@grandecom.net

That is him. I tried to reason with him and ask when I would get my decals, and now I am blocked from sending him e-mails. I will now be filing not only complaints, but also requests for refunds. I should have just stuk with the guys that sell on here. I admit it now, I am a fool for trying untested waters.

I also bought from him a couple times and had good luck. I haven't bought anything on ebay now for over a year, I don't want to chance it.

DanoHB, that sucks man. It is people like that that ruin it for all those who honestly do business on eBay. Hope you get it all worked out!

Wish I had seen this post sooner, I ordered a set of formula decals from that website and I am not happy at all either. First, they sent me the wrong decals, and told me to send them back and they would replace them. Well, they've had my $$ for about two months now and I have no decals. I've e-mailed numerous times but I never get any replies. I've finally just requested that they refund my money....but whatdya know? Still know reply. I'm not doubting that some of you may have had good luck with this seller, I'm just saying that Dano isn't making this stuff up, nor is he the only who has been scammed. On the other hand, I've also ordered from Fourth Circle Designs, and they had the decals here in about 10 days.

I've orderd decals from them a lot and have never had a problem. They did hace a server crash on them and their site was down for a while but he was still more than willing to help me when I asked about decals. It did take a little bit to get a response but he got back to me the same week.

The last time I ordered was a couple months ago and I got my order with in a week or two. It wasn't as fast as before but I was happy with everything.

I did not have a problem with the first set ... nor did I have a problem with my wife's set we orderd from him. HOWEVER, now he has sent me a set for a '93-'97 Trans Am when specifically odered for my 1999. I returned the set and asked him to send me the right set about 2 weeks ago and he hasn't answered the last emails I have sent him.

So, DanoHB is right. Do not order from this *******. He's another Scott Jantzer!!!!

Here's my 4th email to him in 2 weeks:


To: decals@autografics.com
Cc: chughes@grandecom.net
Sent: Friday, November 11, 2005 7:16 PM
Subject: Decals


You sent me the wrong set of decals for a ’93-’97 Trans Am. My car is a 1999 Trans Am and that’s what I ordered. I sent them back to you and paid the shipping. I would ask that you make it right by sending me the right decal set.



After two weeks of emailing him > here's his smartass reply:



Did we ever say that we wouldn't?
Chuck

That is the same guy i tried to buy some brake caliper decal's from for my camaro.
I finally got them after 4 month's, i believe the only reason he sent them to me was because i sent a bad report about him on ebay.

96.2% feedback with the negative showing up in recent times is going to hurt him some.

His responses on the negative feedback are very disconcerning. What a ********.

Sounds like a 12 year old running a business.

Just punk him with negative feedback (though it looks like you already have).
