Own up to it Nascarguy.
That is wrong members ripping off members.
Good luck getting your $$$$ back for a bump!!

Have to agree about the "gift" part. I just offer to pay the % markup and use PP as a purchase. Trust is earned, not automatically given. And it's hard to earn trust over the internet.

Good Luck

If it's less than $50 usually I'll send as a gift. Anything over that I do the normal PayPal

I NEVER send any money as a gift. It ain't worth the 3% savings that the seller gets.

I purchased a SE intake kit from "NascarGuy" the same week, and the package arrived in a very reasonable time frame. He was willing to negotiate on the price, and I have nothing negative to say about the transaction. Maybe it really IS lost in the mail?


It's not like your package can be teleported to your desktop. The fact that he's dropped off the radar? Maybe he's riding his motorcycle, and not sitting on his computer. I'll be in Sturgis a week from yesterday, and I guarantee you I won't be checking email for about 2 weeks.

If it really is lost in the mail, that's understandable but he should respond to text, emails or PMs so it doesn't look like trouble IMO

Good point, "BigJ". It did take almost 2 weeks of prodding to get him to reply to my original inquiry regarding the item(s) for sale. Either way, I'm thinking it's about poor communication, and not underhanded deceit.


I check my email daily, and NEVER text. But that's just me. I can afford to have 3 bikes in the garage that I paid cash for, but I can't afford a data plan on my mobile phone. Maybe my priorities are out of whack.

Beware
 

If you paid with a credit card, even through PayPal and even as a gift, simply call the number on the back of the card and deny the charge. Your account should be immediately credited and they will investigate (require the seller to provide tracking/their side of the story, etc). Over the years I've unfortunately done a handful of times and its worked perfectly. If PayPal gives me any crap about a refund, I do this and it is DONE.

If you used bank funds, call your bank and tell them it was a PayPal fraud. They may be able to intervene on your behalf, because chances are that money was deposited in his bank/credit union and there is recourse. I'd be really surprised (especially if it is a credit union) if they don't resolve.

Keep us posted, and good luck!

I hope that this is just a case of something came up or something likethat. This is a great forum with a lot of great people! I personally dealt with Nascar guy and had no issues. Bought a headlight. Sorry to hear about this and hopefully it gets resolved. For every 100 transactions there always has to be one bad one that leaves a bad taste in everyone's mouth. Good luck man! Hope it all gets worked out soon!!

Beware of NASCARGUY !!!
 

Yeah dude you might want to think about that. It's 2015 and all.
