Default i need help

about a month ago i sold a set of pushrods to CorvetteKid.

he received them while ago and even gave me a positve trader rating stating " a speedy delivery". i just received an email from paypal stating that he was disputing the claim. i logged into paypal to get more details and he had wrote that he purchased a throttle body for his 99 firebird or something like that and never received it. Am i gonna get screwed and scammed out of those pushrods or what? i have no idea how this works. i wouldnt even see how he would think he could get away from it when the original thing says "pushrods", nothing about a throttle body. i sent him a terse pm but havent gotten a reply back yet. does anyone have any insight on this or what should i do?

hey man... got your PM

best thing to do is contact paypal... that's the whole reason it's called a "dispute" it gives both the buyer and the seller a chance to tell their side of the story...

if everything is legit on your end then I don't see why paypal won't side with you

keep us updated

Just point them to the thread where you sold the push rods and any PM's you have to/from him regarding the sale. HOPEFULLY Paypal wont have their heads up their *** and get this taken care of.

yea thats what im gonna do. paypal can investigate the account and see the only thing ive even ever sold was those pushrods. its just irritating because i sold those brand new 135$ pushrods for $80 shipped and gave him a hell of a deal.

There are **** heads everywhere mang, gotta protect yourself on every sale/buy as best as you can.


Be sure to give negative feedback for this guy no matter the outcome.

oh i will. im still waiting to here back from him with the slight chance its a misunderstanding. im just so confused cause he gave me a positive trader rating for that deal. ive only sold 2 things here on tech and will prolly never do it again cause of this crap. hell i lost money on those pushrods. i bought them for $100 and then didnt need them so i sold them for $80 shipped just to get rid of them. i just dont understand ppl these days. i guess thats how us members of the military get treated.
