FotiosF90M5 · 01-19-2010, 07:53 PM

If you dont get your item shipped you should be able to get the money back through paypal.

Tee212 · 01-19-2010, 08:01 PM

scums, theres nothing worse than a headache transaction with forum members. I hope he goes over his cell minutes.

e92phreak · 01-19-2010, 08:02 PM

Isn't he the old HPFP class action lawsuit guy that PM'd everyone?

KkSc · 01-19-2010, 08:09 PM

ouch..sorry to hear that!

to_riffic · 01-19-2010, 09:14 PM

damn sorry to hear jimmy. u should hav just paid longtran for this....

chrisE92 · 01-19-2010, 09:28 PM

damn hopefully you hear from him soon.. but I would just go ahead and file that paypal dispute.

Kev · 01-19-2010, 10:57 PM

Hopefully this is just some mix up. Last I heard Will was busy dealing with an ill person in the family.

balance · 01-19-2010, 11:03 PM

lol respect you talked him down $130 from his asking price
but that sucks man hope u get this resolved

Bimmer This · 01-19-2010, 11:09 PM

Your idea of giving him a week to give you a tracking number is good enough. Hopefully he returns your PM's. I know what it's like to be in your shoes and it sucks. Good luck.

One thing that I've learned is that if I buy anything online and use paypal, I always use my AMEX CC because if you feel that you been scammed, just call AMEX customer service and give them the seller information. From there, AMEX will deal with the seller until something is resolved or they will reverse the transaction.

E90SLAM · 01-19-2010, 11:49 PM

Damn....Hope he's just busy....

Saigon · 01-19-2010, 11:51 PM

Thanks for all the positive input guys. I'm going to wait it out until tomorrow night. Worse case scenario it would take 1 week to ship 1 item out, I am putting myself in his shoes. You're right about the AMEX, companies don't mess with them for a reason.

robbie211 · 01-20-2010, 01:29 PM

Sucks to here your having trouble with the seller. Hope everything gets straightened out.

Saigon · 01-20-2010, 05:23 PM

Update:
Emailed me notifying me that the item has been shipped but still awaiting tracking #. Seems that he was busy, I had a feeling. Anyways, thanks for all the support guys.

good to hear that

vAnt826 · 01-28-2010, 11:38 PM

Wow I didn't even realize there was a thread about me here. I've sold a shitload of items on E90post and not once did I have issues.

Like other people assumed, I had to go to Oregon for an emergency. Sorry for the minor delay. Personally I'd think it'd take more then just few days before someone starts a shit thread.

Either way, I'm glad you like your steering wheel.

lopealle · 01-29-2010, 12:57 AM

well im glad everything worked out

deanmc · 01-29-2010, 10:12 AM

OP, glad everything worked out! Since this is resolved, it might be nice of you to edit out his name/email address?

punky8d · 02-03-2010, 02:12 AM
