Boatnik,

So what's happening ? Do the injectors work ? Have you tried them ?


Wondering what happened to your situation.

was there not a full name on the paypal address? You should be able to get an idea of where hes at with an address and name. I had a guy screw me over on an HE351 I tried to buy a few years ago. He said it was basically brand new and I needed a turbo bad so I went for it. I paypaled him the money and then never heard from him again. He never answered my calls or texts again and I told him I'd take him to small claims in a message I left him (he wasnt too far away from me) I filed a claim with paypal and they said they would do what they could but couldn't guarantee anything since it was not through ebay. I was not happy and started to look him up on facebook etc, my uncle that lived near him was gonna go knock on his door one day but about 2 months after this scandal, I checked my email one day and had the full amount of money back in my paypal account. Paypal got it back for me and must of snatched it from him as soon as he put some money on paypal and transferred it to my account. I don't think they can go after money unless they put money in there paypal account but I'm not sure. Luckily it got taken care of but I have been in your shoes and know how it feels. I think they just think that after a while that people will get over it and forget about getting screwed over for a few hundred bucks, but don't let that happen. Get all the info you can and go after it hard. Things like that get me riled up and it is not right. I'm sure me and many others will be on the watch.

Gather all the info you can, check facebook, myspace, and other sites to see if you can track him down. Best of luck to you and sorry about your hassle.

I fixed the thread on the one injector and have them soaking in cleaner in the garage. DDP is supposed to send a quote on honing out the tips to .016. I may be able to salvage some of this mess that way. If not I will sell them for what they really are. POD's are set at 260bar and so are these. I'm thinking if I can open the holes up they should run with a bunch more timing. Does anyone have a test rig close to SMithfield VA?

I warned the DTR MODs about this guy when he took me for 120 bucks for my Getrag Top Cover in May 2010. Why am I still hearing about this guy?! I want my money!

(I would've liked to see the posts he made, too bad they were deleted. I no longer have proof of any transaction)

Google is your friend....

I know a few people who were able to find threads that were deleted by using it...



Don't know how... but they did.


it never really goes away.... just like Herpes.

Boatnik:

Have you checked with Tim Barber to see if he could help you out with our injectors?? He may have a test rig where he works.

Good luck buddy!

Hey Gang: I have been following this thread in order to see what the outcome is going to be (I wish you success with the injectors.)

However, I would like to share some important information that I have learned about PayPal with you (since I have seen PayPal referenced in the post quite often.)


It is going to be a long read, but I think you will find this information helpful in the “protect yourself department!”

Rules to live by using PayPal linked to eBay:

1) Never set up eBay/PayPal directly to your main bank account. Set up an additional account leaving a minimum balance of say $50.00.

2) Always pay with Amex through PayPal because PayPal charges you for bank transfers (from your bank account.)

3) You have better buyer protection through Amex.

4) If there is a buyer dispute, PayPal freezes the disputed amount in YOUR PayPal account until a resolution (if any) can be made.

5) As of this post, I have not heard of PayPal taking money directly out of your bank account, but I am sure they are working on a way to do it. They can only freeze monies that have been wired into your PayPal account.

6) Always transfer your PayPal balance OUT of your PayPal account and into your bank account as soon as possible.


Unfortunately, PayPal and eBay have gotten very bad with their controls, business practices, and fees. Some of these practices (I would say) are very unconstitutional, but I digress. Here is a story of a situation I am currently going through. Remember: We are supposed to be “presumed innocent until proven guilty”, right?

WRONG!

In a nutshell: I had a bidder on an item I was selling on eBay email me asking if I would combine shipping if he purchased two of my items I had up for auction. I politely said “no thank you” and posted my response in the auction as so others would not email me the same question. He emailed me back saying that my charges were unfair and that I should reduce them. Again, I responded “no”. EBay charges you a percentage of the total winning bid. They do not charge you a percentage for the shipping. Therefore, if I have an actual shipping charge of $14.00, I would post a shipping charge of say $20.00. I told the prospective buyer to budget his bid(s) with the shipping charge calculated into the equation. If you want to spend $100.00 on my item, then only bid up to $80.00. This concept eluded him to the point of trying to argue with me. I had none of it!

The bidder wins two of my auctions and requests a revised invoice reflecting a lower shipping charge. Again, I said “no”. Several emails from him later stating how I am being dishonest, not fair, and a thief, I finally blasted him back telling him that he purchased my items knowing that I was not going to reduce my shipping charges and now he wants me to alter my auction to better suit his financial needs after the auction ended! It is not going to happen. I further went on to say that, I am tired of people who try to make others responsible for their actions. Occupy Wall Street has many such people and he needs to join them.

I finally get paid a week late (a slap in the face) and I ship out his products insured with a tracking number the very next day. My little voice told me to cancel his bids and sell the items to the next highest bidder (I should have listened to my little voice) but I did not!

Here comes the fun part: He emails me that the items are damaged. This is impossible because I pack up my items that can be dropped out of an airplane while a gorilla is jumping on the boxes! I tell him I do not believe him and if he does have a damaged item he should go to USPS and submit a claim (this is precisely why I insure my items.) Many more nasty emails later (I saved them), I told this crybaby to send them back because I did not want to hear his BS any longer. He does not send them back but rather opens a dispute with eBay.

I have over 550 positive feedbacks and an impeccable track record with eBay. I see two seething negative feedbacks that I cannot remove. I immediately withdrew all of the funds in my PayPal account, and canceled several auctions I currently had running (there is a reason for this and I will explain it later.) I called and emailed eBay with my side of the story while also sending eBay ALL of the emails from this clown. I requested that the negative feedbacks be removed until an outcome has been reached. They said “no, they cannot.” So now, I am being punished or falsely accused and labeled without any due process.

WE LIVE IN AN OFFENDER PROTECTED SOCIETY!

PayPal “clawed back” the $250.00 only to find there were no funds in my PayPal account to freeze. So, they have a negative balance posted to my account. Had I not transferred my balance, PayPal would have frozen that $250 indefinitely. Had I kept the other auctions (the one’s I canceled) until they finished, PayPal would have seized the proceeds from them as well. Also, I am not comfortable refunding this clown the money without having my items back.

A lot of people fall into this trap and will lose both the money and the item and will have to go through hell trying to get one or the other back.
I replied (posted) to the negative feedbacks on eBay, but I am still in limbo. EBay is about as useful as **** on a bull when it comes to any type of help. PayPal is just as bad.

This clown has until the 13th of this month to send back my items or PayPal and eBay will conclude this to be a scam. In the meantime, I cannot buy or sell anything on eBay utilizing PayPal.

I tried buying something yesterday on eBay through PayPal, and I was billed the negative balance along with the item purchased. I contacted the seller to cancel the purchase I just made because I refuse to allow PayPal to have this type of control over my finances.


I know this clown will not send me back my items. I know I am going to have a difficult time getting the negative feedback removed from my account when this is over.

If the negative feedback stays on my account, I will have to post the entire story on future auctions as so potential buyers can read why I have two negative feedbacks in over 550 transactions since 2004.

EBay and PayPal are evil………

ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS PROTECT YOURSELF!

At this point, I am ready to close my account and open up a different account if a favorable outcome is not reached in my favor. I do purchase a lot of things on eBay, and I would like to continue to use it as a good source, but I will be damned if I let them get away with this.

Well, that’s it (thank God, right?)

What do you think of this story (beside it being long and winded)?

Let me know.

I think the in the thread on Diesel bombers where he apologizes and admits what he did, some dude posts his REAL address and REAL name. He used several emails and several different addresses.

Would you mind linking that thread here so I can look at it please?



Slatemd, while I agree with you about the practices of ebay and their subsidiary PayPal and the way you handle the money in your account, I have to remind you that you're not in a court of law so this statement of yours is incorrect. Remember that due process in this case is whatever they decide is the process today. When dealing with these two "companies" you are solely at the mercy of their policies, which we all agreed to and if we use their services and the idiot whom we get on the phone or on the other end of our computer. That being said, it sounds like you have worked out a very solid way to deal with their system and protect as much of your money as you can. I have purchased a couple items off of ebay in the past and refused to "verify" my bank account because that information is non of their business. As long as the funds are in the account and available for transfer, that's all the information they need. Good tips up BTW.

Good morning Totallyrad:

I disagree with your disagreement of my statement.

Granted, I am not in a court of law, however, do I not have the constitutional right to face my accusers?

I AM being punished by PayPal PRIOR to their decision or outcome of this bogus claim brought against me.

1) PayPal did indeed freeze my account and money.

2) I cannot use their services without first paying them the frozen assets.

3) I do have negative feedback.

All of these restrictions and negative feedbacks are in place based on someone’s false statements.

I should be able to go on as I have been until PayPal comes to a decision.

Then, and only then, do they have the right to impose restrictions/claw backs/ negative feedback/ etc, etc on their members if they should find
malfeasance.

I get it T.Rad; I have to play by their rules.

Funny though, I can’t find their rules concerning what they just did to me.

It kind of reminds me of the Salem Witch burning. If you say someone is a witch, it must be true.

Burn the witch, burn the witch!

Thank you for your compliment on my PayPal/eBay diatribe.

It took me a while to learn that my family comes first, and that I must always be vigilant in my daily goings on in order to protect my family.

As far as linking a bank account to PayPal, I thought it was necessary in order to set up credit card payments.

Ciao

I sold a car on Ebay 1 time. 1985 Omni GLH

The guy drove 3hrs to come get it with a Uhaul rented trailer, the car was 21yrs old in Michigan it whole life and his winning biid was $860.

A week after picking it up, I get an email saying the car is not what I described it to be in the auction and he wants his money back or he's taking me to court. I said "see you in court".

We went to court and the judge laughed him out of the courtroom. She said " what do you want for a 21yr old,$860 car?"

Why do I have to defend myself after he physically came and picked up the car?

Ebay was no help in this matter what so ever! IMHO Ebay is the devil!
