EBAY: Hella 500FF ($45 shipped) & 700FF ($50 Shipped)

[fishsticks]

Looks like the negative feedbacks have started rolling in on the guy.

I checked on doing a Buyer Protection through Ebay. Looks like I have to wait for May 1st for it to go through.


Sorry guys, I thought this one was going to be good.

[Gordinho80]

Oh well, shit happens. PayPal and eBay will make it right for us.

Still sucks though... I was hoping to update my lights. Guess I'll have to keep looking.

[MrSmithsTB]

That's a shame, guys. Sometimes things are too good to be true.

[fishsticks]

I filed my disputes with Paypal today and within 30 minutes they were auto escalated to Paypal claims.

My refunds are Pending until 5/3/10.

Seems Paypal is already onto this guy.

[Gordinho80]

Quite a few have already filed claims against him. I have... It is still being reviewed by PayPal.

He's had 6 Negative feedbacks posted since yesterday. 1 Neutral... but for the same reason. This schmuck better hope I never run into him. I know what he drives, thanks to his eBay picture. Also, he used our payments to buy a shitload of parts for his Ford Ranger since listing the Hellas.

I'd LIKE to think that this is a case of unauthorized account use... but I dunno. =/

On a brighter note, I'm dealing with an Ebay vendor called snappylights now who literally emails you back 5 minutes after you ask him a question.

No 700FFs in stock currently though. He has 550's if you want rectangle.

Funny... I've dealt with that guy before for my fog lights... he must just sit at his computer 24/7. He emailed me back within 5 minutes at like 10pm on a Sunday if I recall!

Sorry to hear about the bad luck for you guys

Yeah, or he gets email notifications for everything on his phone. He's a capslock typer though so who knows. I had positive feedback and a ship notification 10 minutes after I paid this morning though!

Hello geneelder (gfunk007@yahoo.com),

We've taken action to restore this account to the original owner, but wanted to let you know to be suspicious of any communication you may have received from them. Nothing is wrong with your account at this time ? this message is just being sent as a precaution.

-- Safety Tips --
-- Don't respond to the sender, through either eBay or your email provider, if the message is an offer to buy or sell an item. This type of offer may be fraudulent, and the transaction won't be covered by eBay protection programs.

- - If you received what appears to be a Second Chance Offer for an item you recently bid on, and it appears in My Messages with the subject of "Message from eBay Member," it isn't a legitimate Second Chance Offer.

Real Second Chance Offers appear in My Messages with a blue background and subject that says, "eBay Second Chance Offer for Item...". Always check for both the blue background in My Messages and the subject line of "eBay Second Chance Offer for Item?" when responding to a Second Chance Offer.

-- Never pay for your eBay items using instant cash wire transfer services such as Western Union or MoneyGram. It is against eBay's Safe Payments Policy for a seller to request payment with these methods, as these types of payments are unsafe if you're paying someone you don't know.

-- If You've Already Sent Payment or Shipped an Item --
- - If you already sent payment for an off-eBay transaction, or if you're a seller who already shipped an item to a fraudulent buyer, we suggest you take the following steps:

-- Contact the payment service you used to make the purchase. If you paid by credit card, most card issuers provide consumer protections in instances of online fraud.

- - If you sold and shipped an item to a fraudulent buyer, contact the carrier you used to ship the item. You might be able to receive additional assistance from the shipping service. If it was sent through the United States Postal Service, you may want to file mail fraud charges. Please go to:

So it appears he was victim of fraud and it isn't all his fault.

[Gordinho80]

Look at the guy's most recent positive feedbacks... all from other sellers. Dude has been buying shit for his ford ranger. You mean to tell me that this dude didn't see the extra money in his paypal? Or that he didn't see the emails/messages from all of us? Yet he was on there enough to buy lots of ranger parts? BULLSHIT! He's no Fraud Victim... we are...

I got the same emails this morning as well.


I wonder if Ebay has their own private suits who deal this kinda stuff...


*** "Mr Harris?"

*** "Yes?"

*** "Is that your white Ranger in the driveway?"

*** "Uh, yeah."

CRACK!

*** "OW F***! My knee!"

CRACK!

*** "GAAAAAAAAH! JESUS!"

*** "Have a nice day, Mr Harris."

Tow truck pulls up and hauls away Ranger...


...a guy can dream can't he?

[janesy86]

Hahahaha... Yea super bummed it turned out to be a bust. Guess I'll just pick up a set from Pep Boys soon.

[Trail X]

Wow... did that raw deal catch 4 of our guys?

[Gordinho80]

It caught a ton of people on expo too... I've used their thread along with this one in my claim on PayPal...

[fishsticks]

An eCheck payment from Kasey Harris was declined by the sender's bank. We will automatically try to process this payment again in 3 business days. It then usually takes 3-5 days for the money to be deposited into your account. Please do not ship items until you receive payment.

Wonderful...

[KE7WOX]

They pulled the listings off tho.
