04GTAMPA · July 11th, 2008, 12:26 AM

Modified88Dreamer · July 11th, 2008, 12:26 AM

I see some ass. Do we have another chicky on this site

B0B · July 11th, 2008, 12:28 AM

i have plenty of proof that we exchanged many emails and his paypal account had the same name as his ebay account. i also wrote the ebay item number and brief description on the paypal transaction before i sent it to him. so hopefully it will be enough proof if there is a scam going on here. i'm so fuckin worried right now. he hasn't responded today and through the last 3 days he would respond within a couple hours at most.

04GTAMPA · July 11th, 2008, 12:29 AM

dude, that's not the same one. The new post is NEW, yours was used and you can tell the difference. I sold some shit on ebay last friday and i just sent the tracking # today, even though I mailed them Monday.

04GTAMPA · July 11th, 2008, 12:31 AM

Well, personally I wouldn't have bought an item that expensive from someone with only 9 feedback, but maybe it's ok, I don't know.

B0B · July 11th, 2008, 12:36 AM

i'll let you guys know. i don't want to think about this anymore at the moment though its irritating me. hopefully everything will be ok and my car will be charged within the next 2 weeks

hardhitter · July 11th, 2008, 02:19 AM

I bet that other guy was watching to see how much the first auction sold for and put his buy it now price the same and stole the other guys description. I do that all the time if I'm too lazy to write my own.

I actually got in trouble for doing it because the guy who wrote the description reported me to ebay for plagiarism.

06RedfireGT · July 11th, 2008, 03:27 AM

Shit comes up bro, the guy could've had to work or something. I know $3200 is a lot of money but it is too soon to jump to conclusions.

what i did is use another guy's pictures.. i bought a diablosport.. used it for about 6 months or so and then decided i could use the money and returned the car to stock and sold it on ebay and used the pictures from the guy i bought it from lol

Yea bob give it some time. dont sweat it. I am sure JA will attest to this that it takes a little while for a tracking number to come up. They cant give you one when you bring it in a ship it there, they have to have it go through all the wickets first then send you the tracking number.

Like it was stated, the serial numbers are different. Its a new one. And I am sure that guy waited to write his up and used the same blurb. I would! Makes it easy.

bottlefed02gt · July 11th, 2008, 02:09 PM

Like everyone else said give it a few days. And always pay with credit card, added insurance, because paypal can't always get it all back. You can always call the Credit Card and they will give a refund for full amount.

ECUSVT31 · July 11th, 2008, 02:24 PM

yeah, just give it some time. but i wouldnt of spent that much money on someone with only 9 feedback either...

zinc02GT · July 11th, 2008, 02:34 PM

im sure its gonna be fine dude

ChrisJ · July 11th, 2008, 06:57 PM

Someone prolly copied the description...

You went paypal rather then using an escrow huh?

B0B · July 11th, 2008, 08:27 PM

he sent me an email with two tracking numbers today. i'm very relieved. i got pretty worked up about it yesterday i know i over-reacted but that much money i had the right to be worried. anyways i'll let you guys know when i get it in the mail!

HMUSN · July 11th, 2008, 08:29 PM

Well it's not like it's money for a much needed liver transplant. Evidently you don't need it for bills. No one has to have a supercharger, you just want one. But it would suck to be scammed out of it.
