So I bought a stage 3 zzp h/e ,and sent him the payment through PayPal. Haven't heard from him since Feb 3 its been a week so I started a PayPal dispute. Anyone personally know him that can ask him what's goin on?

 

I had the same issue with him last year with some turbo parts I bought from him. He tried to screw me on some parts but paypal ended up refunding me the money after almost 2 months of waiting.

 

Wow... I'm glad I started the dispute then

 

i guess time to start my dispute as well... sigh :/

 

^ started dispute this morning

 

did mine as well as of 10 minutes ago.. how long are yall gonna wait before making it a claim?

 

I just sent him a PM.

He hasnt been on .net since the 5th.

 

anddd moderaters can we make this a sticky since this is the second occasion where this guy has scammed people

 

he doesnt respond to emails either... ahhh people these days >:[

 

I pmd him about tracking number on the 3rd or the 4th cant remember but yeah got no response and he seems to have logged on after I pm'd him

 

There's no need to make a sticky that's what the itrader system is for

 

i asked for the tracking # as well, how many of us got screwed on this? like 4 people?

 

me you and coolbalt as far as i know. me and coolbalt were talking about it this saturday at a little meet we had lol

 

all of us texas people, just cant catcha breakk

 

lol def...so close to just calling it and going back to stock until i graduate. ill see if i can sell the downpipe that zzp is fixing for me and if not ill more than likely end up looking for some stock parts

 

And I was thinkin I kinda wanted that badmab too, good thing I didn't

 

i guess i need to wait till i graduate college to spend money on my car... considering just selling and buying a ss/tc

 

I can't really do anything until he logs back on, or responds to my PM.

I hope you guys get this resolved through paypal.

 

yeah I know just going to have to wait till paypal figures it out.

i'd do it if my car was worth anything no one wants a 2.4 balt.

 

call paypal directly. surprisingly, they are very helpful when you talk to them.

 

sorry to hear about this boys.... i post coz im wondering if more changes are needed to sell parts on this site.... im thinking a min of 500 posts, and full discloser to the mods of sellers personal info, such as ph#, address, and business info.... i suggest this coz i hate to see people get ripped off....

 

good thing for using paypal though. i mean if u leave bad itrader or if he gets banned we shouldn't have that issue with him again... autochecking IP addresses could also help that cause perhaps.

 

or a $50 deposit to be able to post in classifieds and you get it refunded when you get 2 or 3 good itrader transactions

 

There is absolutley no way to stop scamming completely. You just gotta understand the risks that come with buying through forums

 

This.

Our new rules have cut it down greatly, but it will never be 100% safe.
