I recently purchased a part listed for sale on a Mopar Parts facebook site, paid the seller his asking price plus the shipping charges. I paid for it using PayPal friends/family (what a mistake that was although I've never had a problem in the past). I'll think long and hard about doing that in the future.
After receiving the money, the next day he PM's me saying that UPS requires an additional insurance fee of $100.00 refundable up on delivery of the part. I suspected this was false, but giving him the benefit of the doubt I double checked with our local UPS shipping office and as you would expect that is not a policy of UPS. He also says UPS has the part but won't ship unless the additional fee is paid.
Just wondering if anyone else has had a seller try to pull this scam. I'm accept the fact the money is gone ($185.00) and I'll never receive the part.
Buying and finding parts is hard enough...but dealing with scumbags like this makes it even harder.
