This is BS

[Teds89IROC]

I bought a 92 Camaro front chin spoiler from this guy in PA on TGO and I sent immediate payment through paypal on 1/11 for 2 day shipping plus the part. I asked him for a tracking number and he didn't have one. After like a week he finally discovered he forgot to add some kind of info and the part was unable to be shipped. Also, this was shipped through some place "Going Postal"? I never heard of it. Anyway he tells me they will e-mail him a tracking # and he will then forward it to me. I get a PM yesterday at 7:30am that he has the info and is forwarding it to me and he thanked me again for the purchase. I never received an e-mail with a tracking # or anything, so just before I filed a dispute with paypal. The part should have gone out Thursday or Friday the latest which means I should have it Monday or Tuesday. If it's not here by then I can escalate the issue to a claim and paypal takes this matter into their own hands and hopefully I will get my money back. I also noticed he deleted his location from the TGO message boards. I'm so pissed about this, it's so frustrating. I've had the OK from AAA to fix my car 3 weeks ago and I can't start my front end suspension rebuild till this is solved. So I'm stuck. I wished his location was still up there I could have asked if anyone knew the area :twisted:

let's get donald duck's address and kick his butt

[GP99GT]

you should be able to get his address through paypal, no?

going postal is a shipping place like mail boxes etc, theres one by me in Norwood nj

[Teds89IROC]

I dunno, I haven't looked. I figure this way paypal can get involved and do more legal damage like maybe block his account or something.

Sucks man.

I thought I was going to get screwed with my SLP headers off TGO. Just the way the person worded things and kept delaying.

Said he would send me tracking info and never did. Kept saying he didnt have time to get to the post office but i seen he had time to install his new k member, motor, and new headers. And before that, took pictures of the headers I paid for, next to his new ones for comparison and posted them on TGO.

One day I came home from work and there was the box sistting there with the headers just as he described. So maybe it will work out in the end.

ive been waiting over a month for a freakin white HVAC overlay from a guy on TGO, it was only 10 bucks but i finally filed with paypal yesterday and he PM'd me sayin hes a respectful seller and there was no need to do that.... he replied to me once since i paid on 12/18 sayin he would check his records, then yesterday was the 2nd reply. some people!

[deadtrend1]

yes sir, you are correct

[WayFast84]

I only had 1 or 2 deals go through were I had to send money to some one, thankfully I got what i sent money for, Hopefully you will get your part, or your money back! good luck

[Fast92RS]

I always had good luck on TGO buying from other people. Although I had a similar situation from someone on ebay. I bought a reloading press and was about $500. Well after I won it, I sent payment through paypal. The seller dsaid he would send it out in a day or so. So a week goes by and nothing. I send emails and get no return. I get his info through ebay and call him. No return calls. I filed a claim with paypal. It took nearly a month and a half before I got the press.

there are quite a few a-holes on TGO who scam people. What was the guys screen name?

i got burnt by an add on racing junk. i sent the money through paypal and after getting the run around for 30 or so days i filed a complaint with paypay just to get the guy to respond as to when i would get my stuff. thats when he started harrassing me with phone calls and emails. well it took about another 30 days but paypal got me all but 20.00 of the 1200.00 i sent him. the twenty was a separate payment for additional shipping required. i took the big $$ and didnt persue the little amount figuring i got what i needed back. paypal doesnt mess around. if you send money for a product then you better get it as described. if not thats fraud and theft and paypal will come after you. what happens first is you file a complaint then paypal freezes the account. if there is money in the account you get it back sooner. if not after the investigation paypal pays you and then they go after the seller with a law suit to collect their money back. this is how it worked for me but not everything might be covered this way. good luck.

I disagree, you were one of the lucky people to get $$ back from paypal. I got burnt on 2 different deals for over $600 combined and paypal didn't do a damn thing. All the guy(s) did was clear the bank account that his paypal was run through. I didn't get a single dime back. They didn't do a damn thing for me and I'm far from the only person with the same story.

Consider yourself lucky.

[Teds89IROC]

I can't find his address through paypal, unfortunately. Unless I'm not searching in the right spot, all I'm getting is his e-mail address and I'm guessing his mother's name. His name on TGO is Donald1992.

i was lucky. i agree. sorry you got burnt. in my case paypal was great but it did take some time. i guess bottom line is buyer be aware as not everyone is honest in this world. it sucks but thats the way it is. i know after my case happened i cut back from buying anywhere but ebay and i even cut back from there since all the scams that are floating around. i still think that paypal is one of the safest ways to pay though other than cash in person.

It sucks that there are so many dishonest people in the world doesn't it?

[Teds89IROC]

His last name is Hughes and the paypal user is Mary Hughes. I think I found an address though. Anyone close to Columbia Ave. in Lancaster, PA?

EDIT: Forgot to add: Thanks for everyone's help and concern, it means a lot 8-)

Update: I got home today and saw nothing by the door and I was mad. So I thought F-it and I called that cell number I found on TGO that he posted in a thread some time ago. He answered and I told him who I was and told him I still haven't received the part or the tracking #. He was surprised and said he shipped it out Friday and checked his computer and apparently never got the e-mail I sent him or the tracking info. So he told me he'd go to "going Postal" and find out whats going on and call me back. I get a call back that apparently "Going Postal" went out of business late Friday and the chin spoiler was never shipped. So he now has it. He went to UPS and they quoted him $100 to box and ship it and he even said that that was ridiculous. FedEx quoted online a $50 box/ship but he doesn't know where the closest one is to him. I just spoke to him again and he's going to go to USPS tomorrow morning and see if their $23 online shipping quote is accurate or if it'll be a lot more due to its size and then call me with info. If it's too much to ship we're going to just meet halfway and I'll get the part. Oh and BTW, he's definitely 16 or 17. He's a nice guy, just really Pennsylvanian :lol: He was even telling me how he wants to get the part to me ASAP so I'm glad I called him. Seems to be no fraud, just a huge mess. Thanks again for all your support, I'll keep you guys updated.

told ya it was just a kid :lol:


glad it worked out dude

Oh gawd...the "country" of PENNSYLTUCKY! :-x

[Teds89IROC]

Update: I've spoken to Don and USPS turned out to be mucho expensive for shipping so we were going to meet up halfway tonight. Well turns out he's a lot further and didn't know where he would be going plus gas money (he has a 350 V8 truck) so he checked DHL and they said $40 to ship it 5 business days. I'm fed up at this point and I told him thats no good. He's had my money since the 11th plus this is a AAA claim, so I need to get it done. I told him I need the part over the weekend. So he agreed he's been holding me up and said it wouldn't be worth it to drive so he's going to go with UPS's next day quote for $100, take the hit and learn his lesson. I mentioned again that I'm willing to meet halfway to get it but he said he'll just ship it for $100. He still made money, but less. So he's going to ship it out tomorrow and get me a tracking number. I'd prefer to make the drive so the part was in my hands but we'll have to see what happens.

[edpontiac91]

Ted, why not bite the bullet and go ALL THE WAY to his house. Again, it will be out of his hands, and into UPS(or so he says). You want the part, he has it in his hands, just go get it. This way you can see what your getting. If he DOESN'T pack it that well, or UPS damages the part, where are you going to find another one? :rofl:

[Teds89IROC]

two reasons: Number 1 it's a 3 hour drive one way and number 2, I wouldn't be able to get all the way out there till next weekend the earliest. :shrug: I'm kinda stuck

[Teds89IROC]

last update: I wasn't able to get in touch with Don all of Friday and Saturday. I left numerous messages and finally I told him if I didn't hear from him I would raise the dispute to a claim with paypal and let them handle it, that I was sick of his BS yada yada yada. Sunday morning I checked my e-mail and my money was refunded back to me. Still no contact from him, just a refund, so now I need a new chin spoiler lol

[Iroc-z86]

:supergay:

I guess he really didnt have the part... sorry to hear about your inconvenience.

[chevyt454]

Camaro guys working together - makes me feel all warm & squishy inside!

[68pont455]

at least you got your money back. the claim process through paypal takes some time and isnt guaranteed from what i hear. hope you find your part.8-)
