DOTD Posted August 26, 2006 Report Posted August 26, 2006 Well, I bought a 250 watt stator on ebay. Item # 270016240897. Auction states "brand new in packaging." I ended up paying $81 + 12.00 shipping. I was thinkin SCORE! since It is from Team ECC.com (Escondido Cycle Center) I was not worried about getting scammed. I mean lets face it a $220 stator for $81. Anyways I paid immediately, and I live 3 hrs away from them, so I figured 3 days tops. HA! I contacted them 4 days later and the tell me UPS screwed up it is in Missouri, and they were going to re route it to me. And upgrade to 2 day air. WTF? I call UPS they say it was not their screw up, it was the wron address on the labe. So I get back to ECC. The guy starts talking to me like he's pissed and getting all defensive. So tonight 10 days later I get a box from UPS. Sure enough he put the wrong address. When I open it up, I get a used electrex stator with the wires cut off of it! I'm thinkin WTF. It even had scarring around the mounting holes from the screws. I am so pissed I'm about to drive down there an bounce this thing off his forehead! I am going to Paypal to try for a refund if he doesn' do it next week. Now accepting any ideas for revenge! Quote
[email protected] Posted August 26, 2006 Report Posted August 26, 2006 good lord show up at the shop and pretend like a newb who needs to learn about four wheelers , act like you just took off ure stator and wanted to get some help on it . Tell them you dont know how to connect it and need a walk thru , play a total idiot role , until u find the guy who shipped it out ..... Grab him by the ear and slamm it to the table. Quote

98bonerSTOCKshee Posted August 26, 2006 Report Posted August 26, 2006 i did a search and found the item... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...em=270016240897 sending him a nice little "ask this ebayer a question" do you often send things out stating they are new when they aren't... just wondering before I do business with you.. I suggest we all join in and send some questions!! Quote
Animalman294 Posted August 26, 2006 Report Posted August 26, 2006 screw being nice, if the asshole owes you some $hit, go after his a$$ :beer: :beer: Quote
DOTD Posted August 28, 2006 Author Report Posted August 28, 2006 He's playin the old " I had no idea it was used" card. Yeah right you guys are a major so cal dealer! This one is so obviously used it isnt funny. The wires were cut so short you couldnt even connect them. Oh and aparently the original packaging is a plastic bag. What a clown! The guy says he will refund if I send it back. Mon it goes out , If I don't have the $ back in my Paypal by Thurs. I am contacting every bidder he has with all our emails back and forth. That outta get him. Oh and 98 Boner, Id love to hear his response to this one: " do you often send things out stating they are new when they aren't... just wondering before I do business with you.."

pipebomb Posted August 28, 2006 Report Posted August 28, 2006 get pix and make a copy of EVERYTHING( auction, paypal recipt, shipping label, any emails, the whole 9 yards) before you send it. that way they can't pull a switch on you and say you never sent it back/they never got it or that you sent them your old one/broken one. that way if they do, you got got all kinds of evidence to show to paypal, BBB, lawyer or whatever that they they are comiting fraud. believe me its easy insurance, I've seen it done and it worked.

munkenaround Posted August 28, 2006 Report Posted August 28, 2006 I would send it back by us us mail with signature confirmation so you can prove when he got it back and also have the mail fraud laws behind you. I just went through this with a helmet from ebay. Quote
[email protected] Posted August 28, 2006 Report Posted August 28, 2006 i say you hand deliver the part and tell the guy hes a moron to his face, while you get your money back.. might be worth the 2 hour drive in gas ... Quote
98bonerSTOCKshee Posted August 29, 2006 Report Posted August 29, 2006 just a simple: "no, what are you interested in" was his reply... I sent it from the item you bought from him so I know he received it as a question about that... Geez! Quote
bombedbanshee06 Posted August 30, 2006 Report Posted August 30, 2006 GO THERE AND THOW IT BACK IN THERE FACE I WOULD BUNCH OF :yankyank: Quote
dogboystoy Posted August 30, 2006 Report Posted August 30, 2006 (edited) I sent him a question through his ebay account. Well actuall I gave him a rash of shit. I will post when I get a reply. Here is what I stated "Do you always send people crap?A buddy of mine bought this from you. 1st. You sent it to the wrong address, 2nd. you sent a USED stator that was basically rippped out of a quad. Wires were all ripped off and this thing is useless. Way to go... I will never buy anything from you! " Edited August 30, 2006 by dogboystoy Quote
dogboystoy Posted August 31, 2006 Report Posted August 31, 2006 The reply I got was "Real Mature" My reply to his reply was "Mature, is sending out the part that was purchased through ebay. Immature is ripping someone off and not following through with an agreement. My response previously, was not immature, but fact." Quote
DOTD Posted September 1, 2006 Author Report Posted September 1, 2006 Ha Ha yeah that guy is a Liar all around. I did take all the necesary pics, and shipped it UPS through my business acct. So I would have a way to track it. And I made sure to let him know that I did all these things too. I also told him I was going to talk to every bidder he has if he gave me any more bullshit. This is when he started kissing my @ss. I just checked my paypal and he did send the refund, but i am still leaning towards the neg feedback. He flat out lied over and over. and continues to lie to you guys. I am always honest in leaving it, and I leave it as soon as my buyers pay. Not like the sellers that wait to see what you put for them. HMM what do you guys think? Quote
