I wonder if ttranssam, Lambert695, or RippinZ121 will post in here now that the pics are up? Seems kinda strange how quick they were to come to their "friends" defense but now that the pics of this crap is out there, nothing from the peanut gallery. I guess I'm not surprised, but if they do chime in I'm sure they'll say that it wasn't that way before or something.

You cant do that, its against the PayPal terms of service, I am guessing thats why he didnt. If this guy felt like being a complete a-hole he could send PayPal a print screen of that post(or a link to it) and your PayPal account could be canceled.

Not how you felt before, you put him on blast when your friend could do no wrong selling him the parts. Now that there are pictures you want to renig. Buyer clearly got ripped off and seeing the condition of all of it i doubt that it even still works.

Its too bad that the "moderators" don't ever get into these threads and moderate them? I've sent them PM's with a link to this thread and nothing. I've been doing business on this site for some time, with this being my first problem. I guess I'm glad it was $200 and not $2000 since none of the moderators seem to give a ****, or care enough to help resolve this issue. I wonder how many more fucked up transactions could be helped along with a little assistance from the folks they call "moderators"? Wonder what they actually do?

The classifieds are more of a "use at your own risk" section since it would be so hard for the mods to make somebody do the right thing. I mean honestly, a mod has no legal power or anything so they can't do anything you can't do yourself. Yea it would help if they banned the thief or whatever but then they'd just create a new username so if you trade with a person like that, there's really nothing a mod could do. OP, I would file a PayPal dispute ASAP for that garbage.

I don't expect them do have any legal power, but they can ban an IP which would help. I think if the mods were morew involved in these threads then maybe they could help out the situations, but since I very rarely see them post in these threads its hard for that to happen. Like I've stated before, I have been doing business on this site for over six years and it just seems that there are a lot more shady folks doing business on here lately.

There are ways around IP bans too so they're not as effective as you would think. All a used would have to do is go to a public library and some DSL companies use dynamic IPs so the banned IP may never be used again by that same user. I understand about the dishonest people so I always check everything in the person's profile; trader rating, past posts,etc.

Just an update. I filed a Paypal complaint and it was found in my favor. I was refunded for the original money I spent on this crap, and I was refunded the money it cost me to ship it back to the seller. This is the first time I've ever had to deal with Paypal and I have to say that it was a great experience for me. I have heard so many horror stories about Paypal, but mine was flawless.
