Burnt buying plastic on Ebay

I got ripped off by the seller. He has several more superhawk items available. You've been warned.

I got a new fairing off ebay. Before I placed a bid I asked the seller <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by penst8grad &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">In the picture without the finger, there appears to be a fairly substancial crack. How badly are these cracked?</TD></TR></TABLE>

The response I got was <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by jbirdinmichigan &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">There are a few stress cracks in the paint.that had to happen when somebody laid the bike down.It didn't crack the plastic just the paint. Thanks for asking</TD></TR></TABLE>

I didn't even take it out of the shrinkwrap yet and I can see a 4" long one all the way though the plastic. I sent an email and let him know that I was very unhappy and am giving him a chance to make it right. If he doesn't, I'll be disputing it with paypal.

Got a followup.

Man, people like that just make me burn with anger.

Good luck getting retribution. You may just have to let it slide...

Most people are good, after all.

Got a seller Id? I can plastic weld it for you, but is still gonna need painting.

Feedback left

I didn't want to do it, but he left me no choice. I would have paid the shipping to return it in exchange for a refund.

Your his only negative feed back in the last year.... Damn!
Sucks that you got shafted on your part though!

damn that sucks, i try to bid on stuff that i can drive to where ever it is in a day. that way when i send the payment (i almost allways go with a postal money order unless they wont let me this will give me thier name, and address as to where they live.) the post office tracks thier money orders, and i can find out exactly where and when it was cashed. being i would know where they lived, i would show up at thier front door with a can O whoop ass ready and the part to give them, demanding a refund and gas money for the damn trip.

also if they cash a postal money order and give you the shaft, IE not send you anything, its now mail fraud and the feds will go after them hehe. yea this way takes longer being the money order has got to be mailed, but damn its effective hehe. ive only once had to threaten a guy who after 2 1/2 months hadent sent me the part i won off ebay. i told him i would be paying him a vist being i know where he lives, if the part wasnt on my door step in 3 days. 2 days later part arrived and there was a emailed apolligy.

Damn that guy is an a-hole. Dispute the charge with paypal! Make sure ebay knows as well!


Good Luck
