I didn't ask for him to reimburse shipping, or the money i spent on labor, or on powder coating, i am taking that on the chin, all i am asking for is to be reimbursed for the parts i returned that didn't fit my car and weren't as described. The fact that hes trying to use the powder coating as a reason to not refund me is deplorable.

Ya, mtb, I was involved on you refunding my money on parts s I bought from you and then telling me I needed to pay double if I wanted them...... Then I didn’t pick the rollbar up bc it took to long. It was a bad deal on your end. Not mine might I remind you. I’m sure people can use the search button for that.

A sharpie marker carries not merit. I know no one would believe something just bc it’s written. Would someone buy a baseball with some signature that said, Babe Ruth?

in case you really are looking for companies with better customer service I can tell you that ECS tuning and Amazon would be pleased to pay your return shipping even if it's not their fault

Hey bud, total BS. None of this ever happened with me. I have NEVER transacted with you.

I feel for OP - he was told the parts fit a 997.1 turbo and acting on that statement, he prepared the product for his vehicle. If you saw that the pipes said 997.2 and knew that those parts aren't compatible with your car, then I'm less sympathetic. However, I don't think the seller is a scammer or misrepresented the situation. He seems to be making a good faith effort to correct the situation and it's not entirely clear that he was even aware that you were going to modify the product. This is a transaction gone sour because of misinformation from both sides and this was not a professional or reasonable manner of handling the dispute in my opinion.

agree with moveswiftly, i feel OP's point but on the other hand, exhaust has been altered to the point where no point of return, without the logo, how much will this exhaust worth now?(i am sure there may be some buyer with 997.2 who wants the exact setup with powder coated tips).
even if the seller refunded the money, it will take a while for the buyer to see the money in their account.

Trendy, where did you obtain this exhaust in the first place since you clearly had no idea what the correct model it belonged to? From what I've read into this thread and other links contained within, you buy parts low then sell them for quite a profit not really knowing what you have or what kind of condition it is really in. Is that your business model?

I mean this in a purely curious way but if a company sent you the wrong item you're telling me you would expect to have to pay shipping back to them?

I think if the buyer had not gotten so irate and paranoid that it all would have worked out. But he chose to pick a fight and is dealing with the consequences. Trendy is a vendor on Rennlist and I do believe he tries to act like he's not horse trading parts but really that's all he's doing. I've bought several things from him early on and it went decent. He's not one of my preferred sellers by any means but I do believe if the buyer hadn't panicked and refused to ship without refund that this would have all been a non-issue.

First, I don't have a dog in this fight, just a long time member who's bought and sold lots of stuff here since 2003. I've dealt with trendy996 in the past without issue. I don't think he was out to rip anybody off, however he should've known the part was for a 997.2., especially when it's written on the part. At the same time, a buyer must inspect and verify the used part is correct before installing, or modifying in any way. Once you got the part and it said 997.2, antennas must go up, must verify. At the very least your mechanic should've been suspicious when he saw 997.2. Painting the tips was probably a mistake.
This is always the risk in buying used parts, yes you save a ton of cash but there's always some degree of risk. Sometimes you're better off buying new.
Maybe a compromise, full refund minus $200 bc the pipes were painted?
just an outside observer thinking out loud
hope this mess gets sorted, perhaps the mods in charge of the fs section can chime in on this one.
