This seller is showing item locations from Fendale, and Bellingham. Your tranny shows a Bellingham location. Did this seller at any point tell you it was shipped? And if so, by what method? And if he admits it still hasn't shipped, what did he say on your last contact with him, and when was that? This fella does look a little flakey in the last six months.

On the motorcycle site that I'm on, they have forums called Hall of Fame and Hall of Shame for good vendors and deals gone bad.

How about something like that here?

That's just 1.5 hours from Vancouver. I'd be willing to go down there and harass him if you give me some in$entive.

Default He got me too!

I'm having the same problem. It seems he will ship smaller items but doesn't
want to ship larger ones. I bought a door off of him, same excusses you are
getting. Now he won't answer my e-mails. Guess I'll try to get something back
from the other sources. This is the first real problem I have had with ebay.

you must be kidding me. what is the count, four people now? Someone needs to pay this guy a visit. No violence, just a friendly reminder...

What address did you send the money to guys? Time for public disclosure.

Just so it is known here, there are several 924.org members that are in the same boat. I have purchased from Michael in the past, but not for months, luckily.

There are a couple threads on that site that have brought the issues out in the open and I have taken the liberty of posting the concerns voiced here on those threads as well. Also sent him a PM regarding the initial rennlister's case, and hope that my pressure can expidite the resolutions to everyone's problems with him.

Here's one of the threads...http://www.924board.org/viewtopic.ph...65990ec4465bf4

Click on his profile, look at his other threads that he has been posting in lately, and see how your money has been being spent. Unreal nerve, or stupidity, you tell me?

I totally agree, there's a ton of buying power in this forum and I just bought something (white gauge faces) I had to sell because I was told they would work on my S2. Great product, wrong fit, just as bad...

Wow, I no longer feel so alone on this issue.
He gave me the whole family emergency line back in august. He's so full of $hit his eyes are brown.
Come to think of it, he's the first, and only person to ever burn me on EBay.

If a seller ever has under 100% positive feedback, I go through and read all of the negatives, and I will usually ask the seller what went wrong before I bid. That's a policy I came up with after being burned by mikri184 (or karkannibal now).
When I bid on my item, he had very good positive feedback, and no recent negative feedback, my how that has changed.

I agree, this guy should be flagged, and black-listed, as he truly is one of the worst.

Again, I wish you the best of luck in getting this sorted out.

I have it on good authority that all the stories, all the excuses, and his recent emergency posts on 924.org are all lies. My source must remain anonymous but they took it upon themselves to email me some details about his activity for the last 6-8 months. I don't doubt that something has caused this lapse in his reliability, but it was not a family emergency, and he was not out of town for any extended period of time as you guys were told. Maybe re-hab for all I know, but he is obviously trying to dig himself out of a hole using other people's money.
