WTF. Nice thread. showed up a bit late... but good read Bored here at work. its a slow day for sales.

 

Same here lol \
Im sorry but imo just pay the guy. Its cheaper than bad feed back and paypal problems. Plus If you feel he is in the wrong than the karma fairy will turn the table......

 

Dear seller,

You're a diiiick

Good day.

 

Well, the fiasco is wrapping up. Paypal will decide in the coming weeks what happens, plenty of documentation to submit.

Calipers were pulled apart and powdercoated yesterday, I'm picking them up today and putting all new seal kits in. Charles at B2autodrsigns has been awesome, he shipped lines to me at incredibly fast speed and I get them tomorrow morning so the weekend project is back on track.

Thanks for everyone who chimed in, makes me feel better about the marketplace as a whole knowing the vast majority have a similar standard for packing and shipping.

 

Good to hear you're proceeding with it.
Looking forward to seeing pictures of the final project

 

Hahaha who would even let that thought enter their mind when packing a shipment up lmao

 

In my limited experience I've found transactions like this to be extremely rare. For the most part guys are falling all over themselves trying to help and make the deal painless because that's what they would want from a seller- or buyer.

I see more complaints about vendors than I do about the marketplace- if you haven't already, please go and submit feedback on b2 in the vendor feedback section. Site vendors (the good ones at least) could use a boost!

 

This dude has the nerve to say the rears dont have hard lines and he wanted an extra $15 to ship and separate the lines...now he's going to pay a hell of a lot more than $15. That looks like a hard line to meeeeeeee

 

Just a follow up for you guys, paypal decided to rule in my favor without me needing to submit any pics/docs. However, their resolution is less than satisfactory, basically I qualify for a full refund but have to ship everything back at my expense (which would be >$100) and they will not do a partial refund. So basically I'm gonna eat the cost of the brake lines (around $100 by themselves), but everything is already installed and I'm happy with how the brakes perform. Guess I'll just take this as lesson learned when buying. Thanks everyone for chiming in w/ your support.

 

What would you have done differently bro? So we all have an idea to look out for.

 

explicitly tell any seller ahead of time "DO NOT USE FLOWERS AND LEAVES AS CUSHION MATERIAL" lol

 

DaFuQ

In for the Lulz

 

My mistake is that I assumed some level of logic on the part of all sellers on this website; I was proven wrong. I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but when I buy from this site, its a few levels above buying from a stranger; even though I may have not met the person, I usually give them the benefit of the doubt. After this, however, I'm gonna be a pain in the rear when asking type/amount of packing anyone I buy from will use. It's probably also the last time I will buy anything above $100 without picking an item up in person. I'm gonna try to contact paypal, but it looks like a dead end from here.

Karma always comes back, that's one thing that keeps me smiling, lol
