I know it's not a big amount of money, but someone else might buy more expensive stuff from this guy.
Advertised as take offs with 4 miles I bought a black rear lightbar for my Roadglide, I go to put it on and notice paint bubbling all over the place, bad paintjob or powder coating. I contact seller requesting refund plus return label cause it's defective, and he refuses to pay return shipping and won't refund unless i do. I paid $60 plus $2.40 for paypal fee as he wanted as gift otherwise.
I filed a paypal dispute and we'll see what happens.
I've bought and sold on this forum and on ebay for many years, and yes **** happens and stuff gets overlooked, but I always man up if there's a issue and take care of it.

Here's the ad


Here's the pm's


And here's the part.



And the other side.

 

SMH scumbag

 

Those bubbles are actually the chrome plating lifting.this is due to not removing the chrome when it was media/sandblasted. How in the hell do you miss that?what a **** poor powdercoat job.

 

Too bad he doesn't see the advantage of just doing the right thing. Hope PayPal makes it right.

 

I'm a VERY experienced PayPal/eBay user. Over 1,000 transactions over the past ten years.

1. DO NOT, EVER, use "Friends and Family" to pay for merchandise. If you do, and a dispute arises and you file a claim with PP, they will tell you to go pound sand, as well they should. Why would you expect them to get involved in a pissing contest between "Friends and Family"?

2. If a seller wants you to do that, walk. If, otoh, he gives you an option to pay his fees, he's still a dick, AND he's in violation PP's TOS, but at least you're not giving up your PP protection.

3. Luckily, in this case, the buyer paid the seller's fees and didn't go F&F. According to PP's rules, if the item was significantly not as advertised, the buyer gets a full refund, including shipping. Good luck!

 

When ever I have had an issue PP has always been easy to work with and paid me back without any hassles.
Sad this guy thought he could screw one person and get away with it. Instead he screwed himself.
Good luck with your claim, I am sure PP will back you.

 

Says on his Facebook that he's in sales, glad he's not my salesman.

Just a update. Paypal ruled that I am responsible to pay for return shipping. So I will lose whatever it cost to ship back because of this scumbag

 

Yes, that's how it works with a PayPal dispute. You are responsible for shipping it back and then you will get a full refund.

Thankfully you paid with PayPal and are able to recoup the funds!

 

I would take that to a local powdercoater and get it re-coated for prob around 20-30 bucks.

I know it seems like letting the dude off the hook, but it's better to spend the money on actually getting a good part rather than pay shipping so some jackass will give you back a measly 60 bucks...
Even with the re-coating you would probably still be under the cost of a new or used one by a good amount.
