I received a bad part. What should I do?

@ oldmanmopar

I can kind of agree with that.....just like if you buy a tv from walmart.....you can't rip it apart and then try to return it and accept it.........but there again.....you are also buying new and have no reason to rip it apart.

plus he said he contacted the seller I believe prior to opening it up and requested a refund and it was only after being shot down on the refund that he decided to pull it apart (maybe a last ditch attempt and not taking a full loss on the deal?)

I PERSONALLY think that the deal should not be held up on such a technicality.....the simple fact is....the seller should have inspected the part and stated that there was play at the very least....at most he should have opened it up and took a peak inside.

is this seller here on FABO?

you might find it to be most helpful to post his name , let him share his side of the story......then let everyone come to a conclusion on it and see who is in the right and who is in the wrong.

if the guy is wrong he will either have to make it right with you or forever have his reputation here tarnished when it comes to selling parts which could potentially lose him money......

I had a similar situation on here about a year ago, I bought a brake booster and master cylinder from a member,was told it came off a running and driving and stopping car,was told he inspected it and all was good to go.....it arrived and I opened the reservoir cap only to find it filled with rusty water and about 1/16" rust scale all over the inside.
so I figured, ok....I wont use this master Ill just use the booster...so I put a vac gauge on the booster and no matter what I did i couldnt get it to show anything....so I popped the clamp loose and separated the two barrel halves just to find that the rubber inside was ripped to shreds.

I got messaged the seller...at first I did not hear from him....but I finally heard back from him and I told him if he would refund me ($80.00 I think) of the $100.00 I think it was.....I would eat the shipping charges and luckily we settled and he made good on his part.


hope you get it figured out!
