This post is more to vent and maybe save someone else the same headache.
I found some bullydog stage 4's on ebay and it was a smoking deal, $450 for the set. The guy's name is richie schmidt and his ebay handle is CUMNSHZE01.
Well when they arrived I knew just by looking at them that they were junk. So I brought them to HMP here in chicago and had them tested. well 1 was totally clogged and the others just shot a stream not a spray.
Well I reported this to ebay and paypal, and waited my 10 days. So today is day ten and I get an email from paypal that the guy never contacted them or ebay.
When I reported this to paypal the said that I had upto $1000 coverage for fraud. Whell They are giving me $175!!!! What the hell????


To all that search ebay and find a smokin deal BEWARE, It probably is a fraud!!!

Yea I know Its my own fault but still It is very dissapointing to be robbed by a fellow american...........

 

I don't think the country of origin has anything to do with being scammed on EBay.

He DID leave you a positive comment though.

I try to only buy stuff "New in original package" to avoid buying someone else's used junk.
And the stuff I've won, I usually wind up paying around 1/2 of the normal retail price.

I just won a set of Harley Hi-Perf heads MSR $1,000 for $585.

 

dude... they say used.

 

Buyer Beware when it comes to Ebay. I would keep going through the proper channels with Ebay, not that it will make you fell any better.

Not to be a jerk or anything, but the listing for those injectors was crap. He barely explained them, no pictures, not enough history or positive feeback for me to spend $450 bucks on him........

 

The bidding started at $110, then the last jump was from $250 to $450

 

I got hosed last year on a turbo, as did several other people. I just took my $175.00 from EBay and learned my lesson about paying any other way than with my credit card or Paypal......

 

I noticed that, sounds like someone knew the reserve?

 

Just complain to your credit card company and get all of your money back forget Ebay. I have been through this to and Ebay is not there to help. They just want your money I got every cent back through my credit card. Then Ebay sends me some whinny email that they would helped me. Ya right

 

Yep, I had 1 bad deal on evilbay, that's all it takes to find out what they are really like, them and paypal. I haven't bought a thing from them or even browsed the site since then. As Clayten mentioned credit card company's can help, mine was all over it, they love that kind of stuff.
I try to buy local anymore, shop around so I don't get hosed to bad, if it's local you can go down and drag him over the sales counter and choke the life out of him. Very satisfying!

 

It was a cheesy discription but thats how I have found some good deals. and yes I did know the reserve, I asked. I should have known better than getting a $1000 set of injectors for $450 With 500 miles on them. Live and learn I guess.
The real reson for posting was to post a warning for others not be a dumb *** like me.....
