Default benz-ta problems (resolved)

Has anyone heard from Ben or received their parts? I've been unable to get in contact for the last several days.

I have been in contact with him this week but still have not received any parts. I talked to him last on friday and he said he was pulling the parts off the car on saturday.

Well he has stopped responding to me as well. I sent him a pm asking what was going on and he has read it, but he won't respond. I have also tried calling him with no luck. I have filled a complaint with paypal to try and get my money back.

I picked up my parts personally from him.

Ben seems like a nice guy.

I just sent him another PM, I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt as I understand people do get busy. By the same token if I don't hear anything soon I'll have to get back with paypal on the transaction.

Well now ben will not return my calls or answer my pm's. It has been 11 days since I paid him and still nothing. I have already filed a complaint with paypal, and I am about to report him to the admin of this site, as well as start a bad seller complaint thread in the member feedback section. If anyone has gotten parts mailed to them from ben please speak up, otherwise it looks like we all got screwed.

Unfortunately I've heard nothing as well and I'm about to file a complaint with Paypal in an attempt to get back my $300. I'm going to give it until tomorrow and see if anything changes.

Default Complaint filed

Well I've heard nothing from Ben after several PM's, emails and calls so I've filed a complaint with Paypal. After buying various auto parts on the net for several years this is the first time I've ever had any problem. I'd appreciate it if anyone hears from him or receives your parts that you post and let the rest of us know.

Glad I didn't buy any parts. I don't care how busy someone is, unless they've had a serious accident or a death in the family there is NO excuse for what's going on. Being "busy" is a lame excuse.

Yea thats a great point. I am very patient and can understand that problems do arise, but there is no excuse for not communicating with anyone. At least let people know what the problem is. I can't count how many phone calls I made to him, and pms sent to him with no reply. Hopefully he does the right thing and ships the parts or refund everyone's money.

Received an email from Ben today, he apologized and said he was refunding my money and that he had been hospitalized with kidney stones.

It took me about an hour just to get to his house to get my parts. If I lived closer I would have.

At least things are being resolved now.

i still havent received any responses. I know he was online yesterday so he must have checked his PMs. All i want is the trans cooler he sold to me. I hate it when things like this happen on this site.

I still haven't heard anything from him. He has been logging on this site for the past week, but he won't open any of my pms. I have been calling him still without any response. I guess its time to start a complaint thread over in the member feedback section. What a scumbag.
