Default What Would You Do??

What would you do if you purchased something from someone here on the forums (over a thousand dollars) and when it arrives, it is missing pieces plus any installation hardware? The seller keeps putting you off and doesn't want to refund you your money. Paypal has been contacted but won't do anything about it since it was not purchased via Ebay. Bank can only put in a dispute (no guarantee, just basically puts an inquiry in to Paypal since they cannot stop a payment that has already hit the account). You cannot buy the replacement pieces nor the hardware separately without buying the entire setup.

That my friend is a serious tough one. Just a plain out tough one, if you could you should talk to some one who knows the way of the legal system. Possible back door to help you. And if they are a member, try to get his *** banned or what not.
I bet you or whom ever this has happened to feels pretty s***y i know i would
Good luck with finding you solution.

Is he claiming that he doesn't have the pieces or is he just brushing you off?

I would like to know who it was and what was purchased. I purchased wheels from a member and it arrived with curb rashes. The packaging was horrible and it look like Fedex was pretty rough with the boxes....After some inquiry I decided not to pursue any claims.

This member must be a regular for you not to smear his name! Dilemmas...

Agreed. I would like to know what and who. The way I see it, if you have 4000 posts or 3, the community should know if someone is giving you the shaft. I dont post a lot, but I am always looking for parts on here. I havn't been burned yet knock on wood.

I'm currently in this very predicament. PayPal as stated was no help. I'm currently in dispute with my credit card company with the end result yet to be decided. If they don't support me, I'll cancel the card and let whatever happens happen. The f...tard seller has already got his money but, it's not my money. My credit shouldn't be dinged too bad since I'll continue to pay my mortgage, car payments etc...

I would ask for photos before the purchase. Photos and a simple list of parts include all hardware.

The seller has pics posted of the main piece here on the forums. Since he had the main part, I really didn't question the fact that the rest of the parts would be there. It was listed as brand new, so I felt confident seeing the main part that the rest of it would be fine. He claims all parts were shipped together yet he didn't so the shipping or the packaging himself.

He lives in NYC and has some apartment business. This is his business' website http://inapts.com/

He is not some big figure on this forum. The only reason I have yet to post his screename is that we are still in contact over this and I won't smear him til he tells me that he indeed is not going to give me anything.
