Beware of newbie1016
I talked to this guy several times before buying and he answered my emails everyday, but once i paid for the HKS TWIN DLI IGNITION he stop answering my emails. The last time he answered was to tell me he was out of town but his son sent it and he would have a tracking number for me monday, which he didnt give me. The funny thing was all the while he said he was out of town he was using my350z webcite. He was asking some guy about a carbon fiber hood and trunk. He is still trying to sale some jic coilovers for a 1000.00. He ripped me of for 290.00. But I used paypal and filed a claim with them so it is cool they will refund it to me and make him pay them or they will report him to a collection agency...and so on on...and if he still wont pay they take you court and that 290.00 becomes 1500.00. anyways I was just trying to give the community the heads up:
here are copies of the emails B & I is his words.

It's only been 6 days! do you have no patience? when people sell things on the side on forums, it usually isnt their highest priority.
These threads are getting pretty old, especially the ones that are very premature like this one... once a month has passed and still no item or word from the seller then make a post like this.

Wanna buy my DNX7120 for $200 shipped? I'll ship it by 2010, I promise.
It's common f*cking sense. If you sell sh*t, finish the transaction promptly... don't put it off until you feel like it...
F*cking asshats.

When you sell something and deal with money, it should be put on high priority.

Anyone who buys something sight unseen from a perfect stranger on the other side of the country/world and basicly pays cash up front on this strangers word shouldn't be asking why he got ripped off.

Hope you put the paypal transaction on credit card funds. Paypal is ****ing worthless. They didn't reimburse me for 1500 in a ebay fraud, and thankfully, my credit card company backed me up. Lesson learned, don't but from ebay or use paypal.

Spork pretty much nailed it - and there are so many threads on this site concerning rip-offs and shady deals that they are hard to miss. As far as who can vouch for them, you might try starting a post when you are considering buying something from a private seller to see if anyone knows them or anything about them. If not, then it is no different than responding to a junk e-mail - the seller is totally anonymous. Being a member on this site or any other is no validation - if you were going to rip someone off on 350 parts, where else would you advertise than a 350 forum? Most people here are fairly anonymous - they don't all use their club logo for an avatar, ya know, and many have never met another member in person. And agreed with others that you might want to show a bit more patience - yes, the seller should ship the day he takes your money, but shiite happens and it might not be the highest priority thing he has going on right now. Just my $.02 - I'm getting sick of seeing these threads.

I agree with the OP. When it comes to money and merchandise you are supposed to send it asap if you are the seller. Now ebay has a new rule, whenever you buy or sell, paypal doesnt release the payment until the buyer has either recievied the item, or posted a positive feedback about the transaction, OR the seller uploads to ebay the tracking number issued by any of the carriers(i.e. UPS, FEDEX, USPS).
We should come up with something to work with Paypal and see if we can get the same policy when buying or selling here just to protect everyone.
On the other hand, if you use paypal, yes, use a credit card!

Ok so it looks like the consensus is that you should only buy from people who are not new to the site, have some some sort of trader eating and maybe get someone to vouch for them. All sounds like good advice. So how would that have helped all those that got scammed by the black pearl z? He had been around forever, had a high trader rating and could have found many people to say that he was a "stand up guy".
Also, two people came forward after the OP from the black pearl z thread saying they got ripped off recently as well. I remember a few replied that they should have said something sooner and maybe more people wouldn't have gotten scammed as well.
This new OP just stayed that we should beware. He hasn't received a tracking number and has not communicated since he received the funds. I think that he has a damn good reason to tell others to beware. I sell a ton of stuff on eBay and it is my main priority to get the person their merchandise once I get the funds. Maybe the OP and I have too high expectations from sellers from people we give our money to.
OP I think you did the right thing and did it the correct way by just stating your case and that others should be cautious. I agree we don't need a lot of premature posts about scammers, but you have to consider the safety of the people who have lived up to their end of the deal by sending the money.
So do we really need any more people posting "you got what you deserve"?
