*** that man. Open a dispute w/ paypal and get your money back. Id hurrt up and do it as ive heard of people getting shafted by paypal. U have this guys info, post it up maybe someone will know him and can either vouch for him or post up about having been ****ed by him before,

 

i had bad luck with paypal, but even they told me the faster u act the better off u are!

 

Well I did order an exhaust off ebay for my previous car and it had been 3 weeks and I still had no Tracking number...I then opened a dispute with them and they contacted the seller and he still was not able to ship the exhaust. they were able to refund my money within 10 days I believe. But yea this was through ebay so I guess they are different outside of ebay...But good luck getting your part or moneyback none the less.

 

well, he's online right now. it looks like he's in the private messaging system. i'm very curious to see if he responds to me at all.

 

last I checked pretty much everyone who can afford a 30k car could afford a 200 dollar camera

 

If you paid with PayPal I wouldn't worry. Others on here have said they got screwed but I've filed a dispute with them twice and got my money back both times. They do a good job of contacting the seller and asking for proof of shipment. If they ignore it or can't provide it then you get you're money back I'd definitely do it right away though. At this point you should just get your money back, potential IC or not.

 

i would wait to see if you get the parts, usually a week. if you dont then proceed to take actions.

maybe im too nice and allways give people the benefit of the doubt.

 

Agreed, but ignoring multiple PM's makes it too suspicious

 

Even if he wasn't going to scam you, he shouldn't have that type of attitude with a customer. Afterall, you are his customer.

 

Yeah... if I was lagging in shipping something legitimately, I'd at least offer an explanation as to what's the holdup... not say "you'll get your **** asap and that's all you need to know period....."

 

Always try to keep track of your order and to keep yourself updated of what's going on. Some companies could be busy and just backed up on their parts/shipping. Without knowing this company though, it does seem to be a very sticky situation.

Regards,
Mark

 

ok well, i just got back from lunch. i didn't get any reply from him. he's still online right now "Viewing Index evolutionm.net @ 02:01 PM "

sup mark, this is a 3rd/private party transaction. plus, if he has time to be viewing the forum then he should be able to take 2 min to type a reply to me. i dunno. just my opinion. i've only asked 3 questions:

-why did you lie and use someone else's pic?
-when are you going to ship my part?
-when should i expect to receive it?

 

shady stuff, I'd try to retract payment if you feel that uncomfotable about it.

 

filed a dispute already with paypal. i just spoke to another buyer on the phone. apparently, i'm not the only person getting swindled.

 

For decency's sake, I havent gone public and have given Nick Nyugen every chance to respond, but apparently I wasnt worthy of one, so guess what, time for me to speak publicly:

On July 4th, he PM'd me that he had a stock manifold he would sell me for 75 shipped. I asked him if it was ready to go and he quickly responded, yes. He also confirmed he was paypal verified, so I sent him the money ASAP. I trusted him and shouldnt have.

EDIT - Here is the PM information:

Once he got the money, he quit replying. 3 days later, he read all my PM's, but wouldnt reply. Even for simple PM's like where I asked if he got my payment and when it will ship out. This made me think immediately I was being scammed.

I even posted on one of his threads (about the wheel locks) and still no response.

I was later contacted by another member (not the original poster) and he felt he was scammed as well. I will not name him and will let him speak up for himself.

This was a sign for me. I finally sent him a PM saying I was filing a paypal complaint and he read that PM as well, with no response. So, I decided to file a claim and dispute it.

I am a 30 year old IT professional and honestly, 75 bux is not something to die over, but its the principle of it all. I ship stuff ASAP and provide communication. If I am late, I will apologize and keep the buyer informed.

I have lost over a 1000 bux on fraud like this so far and hate the fact I cannot trust other people anymore. Every time I give a person a chance, it seems like I am taken advantage of.

Meanwhile, he is posting on trying to buy a transfercase, carbon fiber hood and trunk etc...

I have informed a site admin. I hope some justice is served!!!

Even if I lose my money, karma is a *****. He will get whats coming to him - one way or another.
