Well i bought a turbo off ebay. the guy was supper nice and emailed me all the time. we even talked about are setups and what not (he has a honda) anways he didnt have paypal so i sent him money via money order. he called me the day he got it and told me he was going to cash it the next day and send my turbo out. the next day he sent me a email saying he cased it and would send the turbo out the next day… that was the last email for over 3 weeks now. I have tryed to call him left msg’s on his phone, paged him, send alot of email. he lives in florda so i am not going to his house of coures but i would if i could haha. Anyways i just lost $500 and have no turbo. so this turbo is going to cost me over 1G in the end… anyways to make sure this does not happen to you: if you have to send a money order make sure you pay for it with a CC and not use cash or debit so that if you dont get it you can call your CC company and they can refund you. I hope i can help someone with my loos. ---

Wow that sucks… Do you have the guy’s eBay account info? Perhaps he has the flu and isn’t able to get on his computer. :dunno: ---

Report him still, but I guess there’s not much you can do now. I try to only buy from people that have a huge amount of feedbacks. ---

Feedback is key, you can get 500 people to give you false info lol. Other then that before paying get his info and make sure its correct. And use some form of payment that has fraud protection. ---

I too got scammed like this 3 years ago. Never ever pay for anything with money order, its such a pain in the ass to get your money back even if you use CC. Paypal it or nothing. ---

This is why I have given up on purchasing off ebay or boards out of the province anymore. I was screwed by company in the states last winter with oil lines. They sent me wrong set, took 1.5 months when I payed for USPS 10-day. 150 bucks down the drain and I ended up going to Cisco like I should have. Be carefull who you buy from. Sorry to hear about this Justin, the asshole will get whats coming to him eventually. Andrew. ---

I feel lucky becaues I’ve bought crap load of stuff off eBay for my car and I’ve yet to be screwed. :dunno: I’ve even bought sevearal stuff off others in the states privately and I’ve never been screwed by the risk. I hope others don’t get scared because of this. If you’re buying off eBay, make your decision based on person’s feedback. If it’s privately (eg. another msg board) then look for seller feedback or search the board. ---

Make sure you send the cops a Xmas holiday card, for their trouble. It’s an investment, so that you can have peace of mind when you buy from that side of Florida. A small $5 card can go a long way. ---

I second this. Even if it never happens to you again, they’ll know that you dont them them for granted and they’d be more likely to help someone else out in your situation.
