No problem Roy. We were just curious. Thanks for the update.
 
Getting paid for merchandise is the same problem for the seller. The buyer can send junk back and get his money back with just a tracking number and an "item not as described complaint".

Look at feed back and require an address and phone number that works. I always give my info before I accept payment.

I will not send high dollar parts unless it is paid as gift, I lost to many parts to scum bag buyers that use the "item not as described". So if you are not in a weekend driving distance you better be well known or get someone who is well known to buy it for you .

Some buyers I hesitate selling to or buy from until I check their profile.
That is another perspective that Is a great point!!
I had a similar experience on ebay a while back I sold a guy a set of Wii rock band drums on Ebay the guy messaged me and wanted more pictures so I sent them and he ended up buying it he said it was a Christmas gift for his kids. A couple months later he sent me a message wanting his money back because he said they didnt work. Which I know was a lie because it was brand I i only l used them one time. But I told him no and he filled a complaint and PayPal gave him his money back. It was only like 20 dollars it literally cost me more to ship it than what I sold it for so I took a double loss on that one.
 
Fabo updated the voodoo/server stuff, so that could be why there is an issue logging on.

THose are all good ideas. Doing business in that way will all but eliminate bad experiences......at the expense of possibly not selling as quickly.....but if you're like I am that doesn't matter. lol
 
Not siding with the seller, however sometimes the shipping companies are at fault as well. I bought a 69 rallye dash frame off a member on here, got a post office tracking number, and no joke, it took the post office 5 weeks to ship it from North Carolina to Abilene Tx. Everytime i checked the tracking it was sitting and waiting. Nothing i could do to hurry it up either. Nobody i could call etc. No wonder the post office is losing money. UPS woulda had it on my doorstep in 4 days.

I have had that same problem a few times. I bought parts and they stalled for over a month with USPS. After going to my local office to check the parts show up within a week of complaining.

I can beat that—thrice!

1. About 12 years ago when this book came out, I did a call for interest on autographed copies, then bought a dozen or so and Bill Weertman signed 'em for me (at that time the price was much lower; mama mia!). I sent 'em out to everyone who'd squawked, and about a week later everyone had their copy…except for one dude in Argentina. His copy never arrived, and the post office eventually did their trace, the result of which was
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A year(!) later, the book arrived back at my address, still in the undamaged packaging I'd applied, with stampings and markings and stickers indicating it had enjoyed an all-expense-paid trip around the world.

2. A few years ago I sold a camshaft, valve springs, valve stem seals, and lifters to a guy in Finland. It worked out most economical to send the small parts and the cam in separate boxes. The small parts arrived in Finland in 7 days. The camshaft disappeared. Post office did their trace and found it had been sent to Ghana (um, because yeah, Ghana...Finland...easy mistake). They said they had to wait for the Ghanian postal authority to do their own investigation. For some strange reason, they never heard back—probably because the Ghanian postal authority is make-believe. Okeh, fine, somewhere in Ghana somebody's using a custom-ground Slant-6 camshaft as a baseball bat or something. I filed for the insurance, collected it, had another cam ground, sent it, and it arrived in Finland in 7 days. Nine months later, the first camshaft landed on my doorstep in fine condition with no explanation. I should mention that it had a machine-printed address label so there could be no handwriting issue, all customs forms were properly filled out and attached, and a sheet with destination and return addresses was inside the box in case the outer label would be damaged.

3. Last September I had a customer, a Westerner in Thailand who was rebuilding and upgrading an old Mercedes W123 car. I sold him the top-of-the-heap headlamp system he wanted. That was like 12 individual components in three boxes—big order, big price tag, but he insisted that it be declared for not more than $300, otherwise he'd get taxed on it. I explained how underdeclaring meant his *** was hangin' out if anything went wrong; if one or more of the boxes got lost or stolen or damaged he'd be outta luck for most of his money. He swore up and down he'd never had a problem, boxes always arrive in perfect condition, this is just the way it works in Thailand, everyone does it this way, etc.

Okeh, fine; you da boss. Parts distributed amongst three carefully-packed boxes, machine-printed address labels inside and out, customs forms completed and properly attached, etc. One of the boxes went missing, because of course it did. It vanished from radar very shortly after its origin scan. National US Postal Service people initiated their traces. Local US Postal Service people tried their best, too (benefit of small towns). Nope, gone. Vanished without a trace. And it was the box that happened to contain the NOS no-longer-made Mercedes parts, not the readily-replaceable LED headlamps. Groan. I put in for the minimal insurance, got it, and scrounged up a good used set of the brackets and a set of aftermarket faceplates (no more NOS), boxed them up, declared and insured them properly at full value (with the sheepish agreement of the customer), charged him for the replacement parts less the piddly insurance payout, and sent 'em off. They arrived in his hands 8 days later. And last week he pinged me to advise the missing box from the original shipment had just appeared on his doorstep!

(All that said, overall my experience has been better with US Postal than with UPS or FedEx)

I have to get a good laugh from posts like this.
UPS, FedEx and DHL all use the USPS extensively to do business. In fact its part of all 3's business model.
The P/O isn't losing money, in fact far from it. USPS handles 20.2 million pieces of mail per hour, 154.6 billion packages per year. Compared to UPS and Fed Ex who combined handle only 6 billion. So do the math, with a 99.99% success rate, there will still be over 154K lost or damaged packages.

Back to the original topic. I'm not getting a horn but a big blast for PayPal as they just refunded my $ that Bruley had received for some parts. PP reported he wouldn't even respond to their inquiries. Apparently, his character or lack thereof hasn't changed - SCUM.
 
Pay pal refunded him money from some other sucker DCB conned. Kim

i get that

and then on page 2 or 3 of this thread fellow members started kicking in some money to "make it right"
so, at the end of the day, the OP has got a rimblow steering wheel that other members paid for, and hes got his initial purchase price back
which made me wonder, if he will be dispersing that paypal refund to those members who took money out of their budget to help him out

seems like a fair question to ask, no?
 
I would sure hope so that he does. It’s only right to return the money to the good members of FABO. I think he should of only got his original purchase price and not the rest to buy a more expensive wheel, plus extra cash left over. Of course that is only my opinion. Kim
 
Yep. Lost $45 to him also. Ordered parts, paid agreed amount via PayPal, and was told “they shipped”. That was three weeks or so ago. No contact on here on here or via email despite numerous attempts.

Go back and look Roy is the OP that they collected money for not richm that posted Paypal got his money back.
 
right you are
I never did get a refund for the $$ that I got ripped. Yes if they would have issued me a refund I would have given some money back to the awesome members who chipped in. In my opinion I believe that the members that chipped in to help me out to get another steering have a right to voice their concerns. However those who did not chip in should not voice their opinions . If the shoe fits...
i just assumed it was the OP who posted that
right you are

i just assumed it was the OP who posted that

carry on


carry on

No, somebody ELSE got refunded. Not Roy.
