Just wanted to give you guys a heads up. I bought a set of front itp welded wheels off ebay and the guy totaly lied
( bear81) on the description and said they were 3+2 wheels when they were actully 4+2 wheels. He mentioned and had a picture of some small dents in the outer rings but didnt say anything about the inner lips and didnt have any pics of the inside They were totaly trashed. The rims were so bent the rim would hit the brake caliper. Plus the bead wouldnt even seat. I asked him about it and he says "oh they dont even make a 4+2 wheel" I said no $hit thats because the wheel is out of the 80's, I even sent him pictures of the wheels and the backspacing. He was like you dont know what your doing! And he said "what do you mean there rubbing the calipers and the tires dont seat"? The inside of the wheel was all grooved up from were they were rubbing on his calipers, and I said if the beads seat so good then why did you silicon the beads? So I asked for a refund and he said only for the price of the wheels not shipping costs....so I would be out of $40 right off the bat. And he wanted me to send the wheels to him then he would sent the refund. I was like I dont trust you at all and you lie threw your teeth, And said Im not getting *ucked twice! I WOULD AVOID THIS JACKA$$ AT ALL COSTS!

 

Ebay's great isn't it? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

Did you pay with credit card? If so, you should contact both Ebay and your credit card company. Between the two of them, you should be able to get ALL of your money back.

 

Best thing to do on ebay is buy from ebay stores and companies as much as u can. That way u never get screwed over. I havent yet.

 

You should go through arbitation. I was successful the one time I had to do it.

Given the error in his description, he should be responsible for the full refund including shipping. Messing up on the offset completely changes the transaction.

 

I agree that you should contact ebay and the credit card company and that you should watch what you buy and from who. you should have asked for a few more pictures of the wheels with like a part number then researched the wheels a little bit to see what you were getting. I always research a product/item before actually spending the money.

 

Good advice.I sell Mustang parts off Ebay,we also have a store.At least if the guy has a store he's been selling for a while.

 

you should post the item number and his seller name in this forum- what kind of feedback does he have? i hope you'll be burning him on his feedback.

he makes it harder for honest ebayers.

 

Chalk another one up for bear81..........I purchased a pair of front seat gromments for a 250R from him. Then he emails me after he recieves my payment and says he can't find them. He says he has some other gromments he can send me, so I say OK, because I'm building an R and can use them anyway. Then, a week later I see him selling the front seat gromments in another auction. What a dick.
Bottom line....don't trust that jerkoff....

 

I bought a flywheel removal tool from someone on ebay and never received it. I bought it though paypal and they have a protection plan up to 1000.00 dollars. I reported my case and in about 30 days paypal credited my account back the full amount. If you bought it through paypal, check it out. They might refund you total cost.
