I just want to share my story with you today about a seller named: "rpmsteve".
I'm not sure about some other buyers in this evom forum but rpmsteve is one seller that you ALL need to be aware of..
Here is what happened....
On December 29. 2008 , I was looking for a OEM car cover for my car and finally came up with this thread started by rpmsteve..

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...al-dealer.html
(came from evolutionm.net > Market Place > Evo Vendor 'Group Buy / Specials' Classifieds)
His thread started with this heading
"Oem Mitsu Dealer Parts!!!!!!! Cheaper Then Your Local Dealer!!!!"

I Thought the whole process of purchasing product from a proven seller (by looking at the comments from the last buyers) was enough for me to trust the seller. However, whenever I tried to contact him over the transaction period, he did not reply nor given me any information on shipping process, tracking number, and etc.

When I realized the item did not shipped and did not received, I filed a claimed on Jan 14, 2009 through PayPal.

When he FINALLY noticed after I sent another private message to him, he resent the item on Jan. 19, 2009. The reason??? hm...
1. he wants to get his money back from PayPal.
2. so he could screw me

I WAITED another EIGHT DAYS after I filed a claim, I finally received the item exactly on Jan. 22, 2009 9:21 AM.

!!!!!!!That is almost a MONTH after I purchased an item fromRPMSTEVE!!!!!


When I opened the box, he sent me OEM EVO X ENGINE COVER!!!!!......by the way i have evo 9. so there is no use of this item what so ever lol.

AGAIN..with huge disappointment and upset mind... Very next day i sent another message to him saying that "the seller did not sent the right item AGAIN...please stop wasting my time and send the right item..."

HIS RESPONSE???????????
"theres nothing going on.......Now you can just sell it to recoup your money. its not my problem" quoted by rpmsteve.

IT IS NOT MY PROBLEM.......hmmmmmmmm that is all i have to say...

I am amazed and shocked by the event that i had through a month period.
I wanted to share this story with you because...
This could happen to you,too. aware every time you purchase an item from him. This seller CAN or WILL scam you at any cost..so I believe.

pm and reply welcome

thank you all for reading my story...

 

That suxs man sorry you got jerked around by him, thanks for the heads up on this guy

FYI Just so you know it couldn't have been on Dec. 29, 2009 since were kinda far from that date but i get what you ment (2008)

 

Wow. Sorry to hear you had such a bad experience. Did you post any of this in the Vendor reviews or scam alert sections?

 

i got jacked once on dsmtrader by someone once and i tell you it sucks. good luck.

 

Sorry to hear that bro. I feel your pain too

 

That sux, leave approprite feeback and goodluck

 

Sorry to hear about your story... This forum is a great place for information and for ausome deals, and it's a shame to hear a story like this. When I sell my parts I always give a contact number and a tracking number.

 

that sucks man... leave feedback on his iTrader... use the quotes from here...


so how much for the X cover???

 

That is some serious shady business. Forums are great to find deals and connect us with sellers and buyers but its also so potentially dangerous.

Thanks for letting us know and giving all of us a heads up. Hope you work everything out. Probably should file a claim with paypal again, leave negative feedback and also see what you can possibly get for that evo x engine cover. If what you can get is more than your car cover then, WIN !! Goodluck !!

 

Sounds a lot like the attitude I was/am receiving from "ARC_EVO" on the forums. Better known as Rene@M1Autosport.

I feel for ya man . I wouldn't hesitate to pursue your ordeal to the fullest.

 

I'm a little confused, he sent you the wrong item twice?

 

^+1. I've sold many things on this forum as well as other's and I always provide a tracking number, that's pretty much standard in my book. Not once have I had any issues.

Trust me this guy won't be in business for too long if he keeps up such horrible service. Thanks for the heads up, and sorry about your experience.

 

ive been scammed before and it sucks really bad. i really hope it doesnt happen again and im sorry for what happened to you.

 

It sucks that there are people on here doing that. I was scammed back in December to and I have never been so mad in my life. Lucky it wasn't for much money unlike other people here still dealing with the guy. All I can say is people need to leave feedback on the sellers or buyers iTrader. So that way the next person can see what they are getting them selves in to. The guy that scammed me had good feed back. But after I made a post in the scam alert people posted telling me they were scammed by him some time ago(). Now see this could have saved me and other people time and money if these people would have left a the proper feedback.

 

sounds like a jerk...send the cover back to him and get your money back through paypal
