I keep gettin screwed over....
...by vendors online and ebay sales.
1) Bought xm receiver on ebay, no product for a month, called cc to chargeback, finally get the item and have to send back because I already bought it again from someplace else.
2) Second place I bought from shipped fast, but wouldn't help at all when it broke two weeks later.
3) Bought gauge cluster for a member here like 3 weeks ago and I still don't have it. Doesn't answer his pm anymore.
4) Bought expensive cd on ebay a week ago, still no cd. Says same day shipping and 2-3 day delivery. It's only a few states away.
5) Sent product to a member in good faith and didn't get money until 10 months after.
It really bothers me when this crap happens. One of the main reasons why I buy from 7thgen vendors only and occasionally ebay with the risk of losing money all the time. What ever happened to being honest?

Rep Power: 312 i here ya bro... i picked up a neuspeed upper today new for $104 shipped.. i have a sinking feeling that its gunna either be a knockoff or its gunna be used.. and i got some tails a few weeks ago from someone on tgen.. they didnt mention that they had just yanked them out and snaped the pegs on the bottom and one of the bolts.. didnt really make much of a differance.. but it would have been nice to know about in advance..
sorry to hear that gearbox. hopefully things will work our for you. it is good though, that you paid for some of this stuff on a credit card, so then at least you have a course of action if you don't get your merchandise (or its messed up). keep searching though for a good vendor and good people and it will work out. good luck!

Rep Power: 0 I've ordered quite a few parts from the internet, from CDs, to vinyl records, to car accessories, even a modified wireless card and the worst I've ever had to endure is a long wait for a poster that the guy sent a bit late.
Just look at people's feedback ratings and if they're low or nonexistant, don't buy from them. When you see negative feedback like "Didn't ship expediently" or "Damaged product", its Ebay's way of saying to you "Don't buy from this guy."

you're not the only one. I sent money to a honda tech member in May to buy RSX type S full 5 lug swap ... 600 bones ... never got jack **** except constant excuses. Now he doesn't answer me anymore

Rep Power: 0 i hear ya bro. sometimes people are bastards. they just want to make a few bucks so they screw over people who trusted them. whenever i shop on ebay. i usually look for people who have 10k feedbacks or more. and the stuff i bought off 7thgen i usually do a local pickup. i dont really trust people that i communicate with over wires and fiber optics.
