I PayPal-ed 340US (Paypal ID #13Y02756K5486905F) to 98slowt/a for a used cam with used springs on September 13, 06 after getting a PM from him about a cam he had for sale.

200US was for the cam, 100US for srpings and 40US for partial shipping because we didn't know what shipping would come to just yet.

I left my email and my home phone number for him incase there was a problem.
I get a call from him a day or so later saying that he didn't receive the funds. I emailed PayPal to see what had happened and made sure I wasn't getting two transactions coming out at once. (I dind't complete the last step in the payment process... no biggie)
I got that straightened out after the weekend and provided a copy and paste of the confirmation notice. Money was transfered to his account.

On September 22, 06 I sent another 75.00US (Paypal ID #15G98341GW938373X) because shipping was more that we though from Texas to Canada.


I ask him about cam installs and a few other things over the following weeks.


***note that I don't have all the pm's from him because my mail box was getting way too full so I had to delete a few at the time and make room. The ones I missed are still in the quotes****

Here's how it went:

Nothing yet.

I checked the mail yesterday and no notices. I'll check with the post office tomorow and see if its sitting on the shelf for whatever reason, although they're really **** about sending notices because they hate hanging on to items. If it is there, it'll be there for three weeks before they ship it back.

Dan

I need to know if you have a tracking number for the parcel.

I have still not received it and none of the shipping companies have a record of a parcel that wasn't picked up.

I'f like to beleive that you indeed shipped that good, but with no proof of shipping, I'm left feeling like I've been taken.

The previous PM that I sent have a read notice attached and it confirmed that you did read my message, but since you have reffused to reply to any of my pm's since 11-10-2006, 12:55 AM where you said:
"wtf you havent received those damn things
i sent those atleast three weeks ago??
let me see if i can find the tracking number
thanks alot dan"
... you're really leaving me with little choice here.

I left you negative trader feedback in the ls1tech forums in hopes that you'd reply to me to get this cleared up, but that hasn't been the case.



Do I have to forward all our pm's back and forth to PayPal to get my mony back over this??

Let me know how you wanna play this out.
If I don't hear anything from you by New Years, I have 6 pages of corespondance between us sitting in a Word document to be sent to PayPal.

If you have a tracking number, please give it to me so I can track this thing down.

Did it get returned to you?

I'm not trying to be a dick here, I'm trying to show something for my 400+ bucks.

***another read confirmation***

* [br] was an attempt to incert a page break incase anyone is wondering, or an admin wants to take the time to correct my code. =\

 

I had asked for the tracking number numerous times and not onces was I given one.

I have tried to contact the seller several times since he last replied.

He has read the messages, but reffuses to reply.


I have even left him negative trader feedback in hopes of spurring some sort of reply... and still nothing.

I am out :

$390.32 CAD
Conversion To:
$340.00 USD
Exchange Rate:
1 Canadian Dollar = 0.871080 U.S. Dollars

plus

Conversion From:
-$86.00 CAD
Conversion To:
$75.00 USD
Exchange Rate:
1 Canadian Dollar = 0.872093 U.S. Dollars


For a total of 415US or 476.32CA.

 

Where is the cam/spings???

If you don't have them...

Where is the tracking number???
*copy and paste the tracking info here for everyone to see*



I invite any admin to verify that these pm's are in my inbox, as well as my sent items.

I have a nice, full color, 6 page copy and paste of these pm's for anyone interested as well.

He's feedback show that he's also scammed out Wnts2Go10O.
You can read the details here:
https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...95#post6157595

 

My g/f asked lastnight... if his account is restricted..

How can he reply to pm's that have been sent?
Maybe he's trying to send a pm with an explanation...?


Then I asked myself... can he still reply to the rest of these threads?
Maybe he's been trying to post it here?

But then I thought, if that's the case... why would you sell the springs from my purchase to another user here? (see the other posts in feedback regarding bum deals)

I also gave him my email address, phone number and he has my paypal account to be able to reply to, and/or refund the money.

Yet still nothing.

If you are reading this Dan, you need to email me pronto like:
frisky13@hotmail.com

And you should email the 2 others here really damn fast

 

I've never purchaces anything like this before, so I had no idea what the cost on shipping should be.
I thought 40 should be a good start.

He said:

 

What a piece of work you are Dan...

You **** me around with the "I'll have to look for it" when I asked for the tracking number several times.
Convenently just long enough to slip through PayPal's loop hole.

Yet you had the ***** to call a two days after I agreed to buy the cam/springs from you saying the money didn't get sent through PayPal yet?

 

Still nothing.

I'm going to Vega in Febuary...

Do I have to make a quick flight over to Texas to help you find that tracking number Dan?

Or do I start asking for someone to take over your debt and you can deal with someone else with less patients and much better motivational skills?
MODERATOR EDIT: If you can get a credit collection agency to file a claim against the seller they most likely will get it settled. That was what you were referring to, right?

You have my email, my paypal account, my phone number AND my address.

I suggest you use one of them to contact me.

 

Crazy hope everything works out alright. I sold him a converter ehh september/october? He paid me the day I posted it FS. Somthing kinda odd though he gave me an address to a mcdonalds to have it shippped to.

 

To Micky D's???

 

Paypal offers protection if you dont receive anything in the mail. The dont protect you if you receive it but it isnt what you wanted. File with them.

MODERATOR EDIT: Paypal only offers to try to get money back if there is any in sellers account. They offer no "protection" against bad sellers per se.

 

 

Paypal doesn't protect you past 45days of the payment being made...
After a few questions, watching a video of his car at idle and such, I sent payment. He said he's send it right away.. then he said that he hadn't gotten to getting to the post office for a quote.. then he said shipping would be much more than we expected so I paid the difference on top of that.
Then he said he was doing this all durring his lunch breaks and the people at the shipping co were giving him a hastle on the customs papers.. then he filled the wrong one out...
blah
blah
blah

One excuse after another...

I asked time and time again for tracking info after he said it was on the way and should have been here in a week.

I have recieved NOTHING from him.
He stopped responding to PM's and emails.

He has made no attempt what-so-ever to contact and explain what's going on.

He jerked me around past 45 days and then went out and bought AutomagicLS1's converter with my money and asked another member for info on a car for sale!

 

150US reward to be person who can get my 480 canadain from Daniel Short AKA 98slowt/a.








This has gone on wayyy beyond reason.

I can't take legal action against you because I'm not located in the US.

I can't get a PayPal refund because this is WAY past 45 days.

I'm several thousand miles away, or I'd have hunder your *** down.


You have my phone number, email, pm info and PayPal account info and you havn't once contacted me.

You claim that you shipped the cam and spring, but after 3 months I have nothing and you're still looking for the tracking number...

 

some info on where he is and other stuff might help.

 

Sorry.. its all in my sig.

BUT.. Gearhead also posted this in the Bad trader section, so I'm a bit confused if its the same person, or if someone just happens to use the same board name... the seller name is totally different and when I did get a call from him when my PayPal payment didn't complete the day after I agreed to buy the cam + springs he called me from a Texas phone number.

Here's what Gearhead posting in any case:

Board name: 98slowt/a
Name used as a seller in pm and email:
James Boyd
Pat Boyd Jr,
james boyd
5500 66th Street North,
Saint Petersburg, FL 33709
(727) 712-7548
Tampa, Florida
paypal is JBLT4@HOTMAIL.COM .
onesweetZ06,AFRLS1.

 

His PayPal account is: horndog6980@yahoo.com which is different from the other person in Florida.

 

Has he been banned yet? I know he has scamed a few people and not fixed things.

If I remember he tried selling a tranny on here a few weeks back but someone that he scamed posted about him in the thread and its not longer there. Almost positive it was him. Like 99.99999999999% sure.

 

-How bout the mods just take the For sale section OFF of LS1 tech and leave that stuff to E-bay- Continously hearing about people being scammed is really getting old.

 

I am sure its like this any place you go, even e-bay has its bad sellers.
