Default Ebay Stoptech Brakes on Ebay...I think I got scammed!!!

I don't know if any of you guys can help me out but here is the story. I bought some stoptech brakes of ebay for 1500.00. Saw pics and everything. It was all 4 wheels. Anyway the guy had perfect feedback and all.....seemed like it was all ligit. I sent him a cashiers check for the brakes.....He said when the check cleared he would send them. I sent check on the 2nd of JAN.So then in the mean time, ebay sends me a e-mail saying that his account has been suspended. so I e-mail him and ask why, and he says someone did buy it now and since he doesn't take paypal they couldn't pay for them so they filed a no recieve item claim on him for 3 items so they suspended his account. Here is some info if anyone can help.
Min Shin is His name. Address is
6830 NE Bothell way
Kenmore WA, 98028
425-738-9544
email is shinsalesco@hotmail.com
If anyone lives near this place and can help me get my $ back. I will pay anyone to give me a hand. Thanks guys. Ed

not that it means anything, but he has no vehicles registered under that name at that address. he may have them registered out of a different address, or may not have a vehicle.....or it could be a bogus name/address.

Rule #1 - never send cash (or a cashiers check) to an unknown. You have no recourse.

Sorry Ed.

$1500? Come on....

That's like a $15,000 350z. It ain't happening. Hopefully ebay can help.

Sorry Ed.

+1 People who do business over Ebay should know that paypal is the number one method of payment. The fact he wanted a check should have raised a flag. Sorry to hear about your situation. Good luck with everything

I have bad news, that address is for
Davis Optical X Press
(425) 485-3051
6830 Ne Bothell Way
Kenmore, WA 98028

I called and confirmed the address with the receptionist.

I also checked the same 6830 Ne Bothell Way in the city of bothell washington and it is a pizza place, who I called as well.

I did not call the number you provided, It is a cell phone, and could be a simple pay as you go, meaning we can't get an address for it.

Well if you sent the money to that address he must either work there or have access to their business mail box, and that means tampering with mail which is a felony!

my guess is the mail comes before the eye doctor opens, and he grabs it, if I lived within 60 miles I would stake it out and see who came around. maybe someone here is in a postion to help,
this is mail fraud, contact your post office.

I hate eBay thieves. Its a hard lesson to learn, but I am sure it will never happen again.

Min Shin is His name. Address is
6830 NE Bothell way
Kenmore WA, 98028
425-738-9544
email is shinsalesco@hotmail.com

BTW there is no such person as Min Shin. The thief may as well be a ghost. He is long gone by now.
