Radodb 4 Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Alright lads, iv purchased my turbo last month on the 29th from the US, I was told it was in stock but once I had paid I was then told it was not in stock and he will need to order one. Fair enough I'll wait the 3 days for it to be ordered. But after being fobbed off with different waiting times I opened a case with ebay the day after I had a tracking number :/ hmmm it didn't add up. I revived it last night so ebay closed the claim I opened it up and for a start it's the wrong turbo it was a ar.62 not ar.84, after closer inspection iv noticed there is a cut out for what looks to me like a plate with serial numbers should be but it's missing??Could this be a fake? Stolen? I do think I'm being scammed and he's just posted something he had so the case is closed. Iv appealed the case being closed and iv lost :/ WTF??? What can I do now?? Iv got something I cannot used and dose not add up to me.. Can I open another case or contact paypal / my bank?? I assumed I would be covered by ebay but I'm beginning to feel that he's done this before waiting for a case to be opened post something and then the case is closed in his favour....Thanks lads Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
Nex 17 Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 You can try opening a case through paypal buddy, on the grounds that goods received where not as described/ordered and see how that goes Link to post Share on other sites
Ickyketseddie 89 Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 I'd contact PayPal, he can't just send you something you didn't ordEr that's the basics.I take it you've spoke to the seller about it??Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
Radodb 4 Posted November 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Iv messaged the seller but had no response I'm not surprised as he was so slow replying after he got my money... I'll contact paypal see if they will do anything about it I'll also email / ring ebay too Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
Ickyketseddie 89 Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Post the seller name on here too, to help other avoid him. Hope you get a good result mate. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
Radodb 4 Posted November 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 It's horsepowergeek iv had a look at his feed back and seams a couple of people have had problems but nothing that would make you not buy from him/them... It could be a genuine mistake but I'm now out if pocket import fees from the us so got to see if I can get that back now probably not though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Not the best of news there. But dealing with the yanks when buying is hard work at the best of times.This is why I don't buy from the states, only once but direct with unibrace.Keep on at them and as others have said PayPal/ credit card company etc Link to post Share on other sites
Radodb 4 Posted November 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 (edited) after closer inspection its getting even more suspicious the ebay sellers name is horsepower geek BUT payment went to TD Autowerkes after searching both TD Autowerkes has its own ebay store I'm starting to think they are trying to sail off TD Autowerkes name :/ using a email address of tdautowerkes@yahoo.com but the TD autiwerks email address is sales@tdautowerkes.com Edited November 21, 2013 by Radodb Link to post Share on other sites

Daverse 175 Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 might be worth contacting precision turbo themselves about it? see if they know anything about the numbers. Or I believe Poriordan onhere just bought a precision turbo, maybe he could show you his serial numbers? VR6Pete 1 Link to post Share on other sites
