Well, he finally responded...he said he was not sportsam, and that he personally took those pictures of the chassis, and that he will be getting the chassis shipped out tomorrow. I told him about the pictures being ones someone else had taken of their personal chassis that they still own, and asked him to take another picture of the actual chassis since he hadn't yet shipped it, this time with a piece of paper with today's date hand-written on it next to the chassis...no reply yet.

I contacted eBay and told them about what is going on, so I will not only get my money back, but this dude will get his account suspended/deleted as well.

Didnt you win the auction like a week ago, and he hasnt posted the item yet? What a total knobber. :no:

I hope he does post the item, but I have a feeling you'll be getting a refund.. in about a month ( good old ebay/ paypal, get there eventually ) :sarcastic:

I know, it sucks. I have started the refund process, though, so I just have to wait for the refund. The best part is, I have also filed a fraud claim, so he will be investigated and will lose his eBay account. I know he will just create another account, but he will at least lose his current account, and will have to go through the trouble of creating a new account and start over with a 0 feedback rating!

by the looks of it, he needs to start a new account anyways,

i sold sportsam that chassis. for 200 then he scammed me and got the money back, since i didnt sell it with the mounts. so he sold it either straight to you or someone else and then it went to you. i have the original tranny mounts dogbones and drive cups for it. if you are interested in them lmk and give me a decent offer. here are pics

there they are they original ones that came with it.

Man, I think we need to have a sticky with a list of known good & bad sellers on ebay, so we know who to avoid whe buying/ selling r/c gear.

Thanks emaxxthemonster, and I agree Neil!

Hey emaxxthemonster, can you further explain how you got scammed when you were the one selling the chassis? I am just concerned because I have some auctions on ebay and need to know what to look out for and/or how to protect myself. I assume this has to do with Paypal allowing the buyer to make a false claim or something.

Hey Chad, not trying to hi-jack your thread, this just seems to be the direction its headed and I am curious. Thanks!!

i recommend not dealing with sportsam at even if he had cheap ue parts. he asked me to end auction early. i recommend not doing that but he would not leave me alone. once they leave feedback its done with you cant do anything about that. if he files a claim once he leaves feedback give them a link to it. prove that he left feedback. he said that it was not all there, as i put in the description of the item mounts,dogbones,and drive cups NOT included. i told him to send it back and i will refund him his money. he eventually got a refund and said to me after he got the chassis and money for me to give him more, so he can rip me off again. i said no thats not going to happen. leave me alone i am taking action on this and i am contacting the ic3 i believe. DO NOT LET HIM TELL YOU WHAT TO DO!!!!
IF YOU EVER HAVE A PROBLEM CONTACT THEM AND THEY WILL HELP YOU OUT!!!! although i still have never gotten my money or the chassis back.

anyone interested in mounts and stuff the close up of the mounts are ingraved with f for forward or front. i did not put them there, that is how they come.

i sold the chassis right before december 2 or 3 i think. i will have to get all the paperwork out one of these days.

I wonder if the local law enforcement in his area could help, might be worth contacting them & informing them of the situation ( since you have evidence that he scammed you ).

emaxx: I still don't understand. Your ad said the trans mounts, dogbones, etc. were not included, but he still successfully petitioned Paypal to return his money?

you know ebay, the buyer is allways right!!!! i think it is alittle lopsided. to much power for the buyer.

Hell, i have a like new UE lightning stuffed under a rack somewhere in the shop here. If I could get 8 bills for it, I would sell it in a heartbeat! Same goes for the VBS(without the towers, as i preferred lower profile towers when i raced my truck). :)

send me pics, we'll see about a deal?? qtkimby@yahoo.com
