well im new to the sight and so far i sent money to 2 people to buy stuff and cant get either one to send the stuff or give me my money back. does this happen to anyone else or do i have the worst luck.

 

Thats bad luck. Post up your response in the feedback forum. Help the rest of us avoid the bad dudes.

 

Sucks but you should try using Paypal I mean its not as bad even though you still can get peeled that way

 

i did use paypal now i have to start an appeal proccess, so now it will take 20 days to even hope i get my money back.

wath out for luda0840@sbcglobal.net aka andy lopez

 

well as of just now luda finally gave money back, so i guess 1 down one to go, i have learned i will stick to ebay to buy stuff.

 

Not everyone is a con artist, dude. Some of us are very honest.

What are you trying to buy? I don't have performance parts for sale but I may have some powertrain stuff.

 

post their user names and info so we can stay away from them.

 

i have had good buyers, and good sellers. i recently bought a programmer and he said it was returned to stock.LIAR! I wont mention his name now. i filled an apeal w/ paypal tonite.if no response by morning, im ratting him out.

 

I agree with the Paypal idea, it offers a little more security rather then just blindly sending money orders through the mail. When I was new to this site, the very first purchase I made was with a money order and the guy burned me. It is not right, but I'm just more careful now. I'll only do business with people who have higher post counts or who have been established on this site for awhile. Plus, I'll only use Paypal and a credit card as a form of payment.

 

well man...
I hope there are not scams. I look at join dates and how often people post. (not post count) before i buy anything.

I thought i got ripped a few months ago. But, after a week or so he returned and sent my package. People have stuff come up aka family probs whatever.

 

I always use paypal and my credit card. That way if paypal wont refund me, I would talk to my credit card company. So far I've had all good experiences though! Sometimes you got to do a little recon work, searching about the seller to find good/bad things about them.

 

So far I have had good luck...keep my fingers crossed...but it seems that most people I buy from are good people and you really cant beat a lot of the deals on these forums. Well, lets definently keep up on the scam-artists as i try and buy a lot of things on these forums as I know others do also.

 

I have bought and sold to luda0840 and had no problems at all and one time i sent him a m.o.



use your best judgement, I have not had a problem from this site since it started, not yet

 

I ask for a phone number that I can call them on to confirm the sale. From that conversation, you try to get a feel for the guy. And use Paypal, if you are that picky, only use "Verified" paypal accts.

 

yeah the phone call thing is a good idea
