VRVIRGIN 0 Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 Warren, seem s like u ain't the only one to get ripped off m8, finally received my TT Comps today, and they're nowhere near the condition they were advertised as. Kerbed, slight laquer peel, used on a show car apparently, no pitting kerbing or laquer peel so it said. Not very happy about it, had them shipped over to Spain and have been eagerly waiting months to receive the wheels that i've always wanted, only to find that i'm gonna have to spend even more on them to bring them out to what i was expecting them to be. First and last time i'll be doing any ebaying. Sorry about the whinge peeps.Hope you sell your lights on Warren. Gonna be sending this tosser a nice email, just to mke me feel better. Not fair at all, wish people would just be a little more honest with their descriptions. x) x) x) x) x) x) Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 I'd report him to ebay. Link to post Share on other sites
badboyV6 4 Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 if you payed via paypal and boguth off ebay you are more or less covered- if he described them as perfect but aint- all you need to do is go on paypal and put in a complaint against the seller- needs to be within 48 days though!

pete8tch 0 Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 think this is gonna be happenin more and more as the less than honest members of our society discover the joys of e bay. maybe for expensive stuff we could get people on here to look if its close to them Link to post Share on other sites
VRVIRGIN 0 Posted May 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 Didn't use paypal, and we're talking Febuary when i bought them, my cuz worx 4 DHL so got him to have them sent, but he has been more than a little lazy on getting them over. Gonna see if i get a reply to my more than he deserves diplomatic email, then i'll post a picture of his car on every vw forum in the lands, so you can all think twice about getting anything from him. Well, time to look at refurbs now. Will be reporting it to ebay. Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 I now tend to ask for additional photo's of the items on ebay now and not use the ones they posted. if they say they cant get any more photo's I just walk off from the deal. Link to post Share on other sites
VRVIRGIN 0 Posted May 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 It was my first ebay purchase, i have learnt my lesson, and now i've calmed down a bit, i realise that my haste in getting these wheels clouded my judgement. Hope this serves as a lesson to all those about to enter the minefield that is ebay. Cheers everyone for your response, i deffinately know better for the next time, if there is one.
