Talking Porsche Palace alert, do not trust!

Back in March I purchased vented front panel off e-bay from a guy using with the user name of porschepalace here's a link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...SA:MOTORS:1123
to the original auction.
Any way after a lot excuses from him about being in the middle of a move and not getting around too shipping (should have been a red flag ) time rolls by I'm busy go away on vacation expecting it to around when I get back and its not!
He doesn't answer e-mails and the time to lodge a complaint with e-bay / paypal has passed. He seems to have closed his account.

So the moral of this story follow up quickly and don't trust people on e-bay.

Since the guy called him self a porsche guy he may show his head around here, so just incase here's is the e-mail address' for him;
porsch_jx5158ti@members.ebay.com
porschepalace@optonline.net
His location was, Sloatsburg, New York.

If any body know where he is I'd like to know may be I pay him a visit

I was trying to figure out where I had heard the name before. Quick google search reminded me. There was a thread on here a little while ago about this very place. Their website is like a mess of random pictures scattered everywhere with annoying background music that can be shut off.

For example. http://s244276042.onlinehome.us/decals.htm

Or

http://s244276042.onlinehome.us/Contact%20Us.htm

Sorry to hear. Hope it turns out ok for you.

The S & T should give an insight as to the type individual you are dealing with, "No Class". He should follow the rule K.I.S.S.. There are Scam Artists all over the place praying on honest people who will not make a complaint right away.

Cheers,
Larry
