I used to do a lot of transactions on e-bay but I have stopped buying high ticket items that are to far away to drive and pick up. A couple of years ago I paid $100.00 for a radio delete plate out of Canada that I never recived. This last November I lost $1400.00 to a guy named Chris from a company named
[email protected], phone number 972-814-7685 out of either the Lubbock or the Dallas area of Texas. This guy had over 60 positive hits so I thought it would be a sure thing. After I sent him a personnel check for the aluminum heads I started seeing bad comments coming through and then he was pulled from e-bay and stopped selling on e-bay. I only heard from him a couple of times after that and he has disappeared now. His story was that his vendor took off with mine and a whole bunch of other peoples money and he is just the middle man. The worst part is that I only saved about $300.00 from buying the heads from my local dealer. The local police do not seem very interested in helping me with this issue and say its a civil issue and that I will have to go to civil court. I paid the guy with a personnel check and e-bay was no help because I reported the problem after their notification period and he no longer sells on e-bay.
