Edit. Seller is communicating now. Will give him some time to sort this out. Fingers crossed.

Montreal.

Nothing ever arrived and now he refuses to answer calls or texts. And has the item I purchased still listed for sale with the same picture.

Lesson learned on my end, just want to make sure nobody else gets suckered.

Yes, but it's still up

I did not use PP so no recourse. I should have known better.

That said, I had an old timer in WI mail me a 400.00 part and said when I got it and if I liked it send him a check.

I had another guy send me an owners manual for an early aircooled car for free. Even paid the postage and wouldnt accept payment. I had posted "looking for manual" on the site. He said he had two and only needed one.

This guy will get his due.

I have hope for our race. Like always there are a few bad apples.

Yep. I hate the fee's, but it's worth it for the protection.

I was actually just buying them because the old aluminum caps are getting hard to find. LOL Didn't need them.

Thanks for the offer.

Problem with paypal is that then the seller has the same problem. I would take paypal from someone with history on this board (up to a point), but definitely not from some random on Kijiji (at least not for any significant amount of money), since paypal dispute scams have become so common. Had a guy try to pull one on me when I sold my Z4 a couple weeks ago actually.
