This steering wheel isn't safe to be put on a car. The rubber has detached from the core and it could literally rip off causing an accident while you're driving. There is a difference from sponginess and the wheel being damaged and this is it. I want my money back or I'm opening up a paypal complaint to get the refund. I don't appreciate my time being wasted in dealing with this.

Describe the items accurately.

I really hope you sent the OP a PM about your dissatisfaction before going off on a public rant.

I really hope I discouraged other people from purchasing before they gave this guy money and the product didn't meet the specification.

no, but you have convinced me that your a douche bag. Pm the OP first before you rip him. Im sure he'll talk care of the situation.

I realy hope you gave the guy a chance to make right before you try to make him look bad.

This is a pretty tight nit community and anyone who purposely rips people off get booted. Considering he's had atleast 6 positive transactions I dont think he's out to do that.

Relax a bit, he will make right.

I just get steemed as anyone would you feel lied to. I act on honesty, and when I see a problem I let people know. I would hope others would alert the community as well when a potential problem arises. Freezes transactions and ensures no one unnecessarily gets ripped off. Douchebag or not I would hope you would appreciate someone giving you a heads up to a "scamful" sitaution rather then Pming and having a bunch of people swallow money. Its precautionary, its nothing personal.

TravisR

#1--this shouldv'e been brought to my attention privately via PM or email

#2--I described the item best I knew how, you didn't ask and further details or info after being told the wheel wasn't "good to go", other than a shipping quote and my paypal address.

#3--I've seen at least 3-4 wheels in that condition on people's cars, if YOU feel its "unsafe" then thats your opinion, which your entitled to. But don't come here in front of everyone trying to sound like you got scammed which you didn't.

#4--I've never dealt dishonestly with anyone. I have nothign but positive feedback here and elsewhere, and you are literally the 1st person to ever accuse me of such a thing.

#5--I have nothing TO hide because I am honest so I'll post you THIS response to your request for a refund right here....
Absolutely, go ahead and ship me back the wheel at your cost, once it arrives I will refund you the price of the wheel it self, and the shipping to you MINUS the paypal fee I was charged. Or we can work out a partial refund and you keep the wheel

Do yourself a favor and learn to deal with things the right way. On this partout alone I sold parts to at least 10diff people who have emailed me about how happy they are. You bought a 13yr old, $25 steering wheel off a wrecked car which was described as having sponginess @ 12o'clock position, then came on here like a total ass and tried to give me a bad rep, unsuccesfully. Then tried to threaten me with a paypal dispute, because you received the item you bought, as described :jerkit:

Do me a favor and please don't even click on any of my for sale items again, I'd rather not deal with you on another transaction.

Ps--I kept this professional as possible. Make another reference (like the 2 you posted already) to me being a scammer, or a liar and my response/action to such an unjustified accusation will be far from pleasant

I'm sure you'll huff and puff and blow my house down, but I'm not interested in fairy tales.

So lets be factaul here. I was one of the first people to purchase an item. The item I got I felt to be inaccurately described. Spongy is not can turn the top of the wheel 180 degree's before major resistance is felt. That is dangerous and can cause loss of grip in an emergency or aggressive driving situation. I in essence alerted via town crier method that the items for sale in this post might be on the questionable side. Perhaps this was not the case in which it is in your right and favor to provide evidence otherwise.

I did deal with this in the manner in which it should have been dealt with. Alert others first to a possible scam. Allow the O.P. time to retort. No sales will be lost on your part if it does in so facto come to public knowledge that it was an honest misunderstanding.

In the consequence had you been a scammer 15-20 people could have been ripped for hundreds of dollars. What I done was the safe and constructive thing to do, and it should be practiced by anyone on a public board. Look out for the person to the right and left of you, and screw feelings.

This is business, and this is a contract. When the contract is felt to be breached it is the signee’s right and privilege to make it known, and the consequences for contract breach. It is also behoove of the signee to make it known to as many people as possible in order to strengthen and add notary to the time and type of infraction.

I knew exactly what the hell I was doing, and I had good reason for every action.

Send me a P.O. for the amount and I'll ship the wheel back.

Now do everyone a favor and stfu, your a waste of time and I really regret ever entering into the trans. You're here for 2+months and think you're being scammed for $25??

Seriously now, enough...you were given a prompt and courteous and fair response despite the fact that you made no attempt to act that way in your public post. Next time simply PM the seller of an item that you want to talk about a refund because you aren't satisfied instead of trying to accuse someone, slander them, and then make them have to explain the situation.
Would you call the BBB before even making 1 attempt to speak with the business in question? Call Bill Gates before trying to reboot your computer? , etc..
I do believe I've heard the phrase buyer beware, and while I dont think its fair and thats why I'm not going that route with this, maybe you should ask a question before going thru all this.
You have my return address, and a confirmation from me that I will refund you the total amount I received from you (minus paypal fee) as soon as I receive the wheel back. It'll have both cost us shipping for the item, and paypal fees and it's even and fair. Just make sure you come back here and let everyone know that I made things RIGHT, the same way you rushed to speak negatively about it.

Let's leave it at that.

So you think by warning the forum before further transactions took place was a bad idea. You can't put it in your mind and think that if you had been someone purchasing from a scammer that you'd want to know the guy was selling scrap?

I'm talking hypothetical here, I know its a stretch for you since you use words like dueche, bitch, and ass over and over and over again. So I'll take it slow. I was trying to send out a warning flag to O-T-H-E-R-S incase you were a scammer. I didn't say you were, I-N C-A-S-E you were a S-C-A-M. Now we can grow up and use big boy words and think intelligently. We can't be 18 for3v3r, and walk around like sailors all our lives CUSSING everytime we get "ANGRY."

I know someone in West Palm, I'll see if he can mediate the transaction for me since I don't think I can trust someone like you any farther then I could throw you.

Travis, you are a one of a kind gem.
Forget about me working with your friend in WPB. Think after all this I'm going to go out of my way to make you feel comfortable?
YOU Send me the wheel, YOU'll have your refund via paypal, the end.

You can preach all you want about being trying to be a savior of the people, but the point remains there is a right and a wrong way to handle things. You chose to tell your 1/2 of the story, and label me as a scammer publicly. This was noted by 2 other forum members, before I even replied. Note that you didn't "hypothetically" do this, you L-I-T-E-R-A-L-L-Y did.

There was nothing to point you in this direction. If you were a member here longer you may know to look for certain things. Possibilities include that I've been on this forum for a long time, that I have a reasonable post count, that several people have commented on my feedback page--all positive transactions, etc.

Also, as any other educated person would do when purchasing an item that you are unable to inspect yourself, you may want to ask for more details before purchasing. Again, you failed to do this.

You then pay me, I ship you the item and as far as I know the transaction was complete and all was well.

With no further communication, I'm made aware of your issue by your slanderous and overly preemptive post. Using words like scam, liar, etc in your initial posts were
not only distasteful, childish, and an admitted attempt to interrupt potential sales but altogether unnecessary. Nonetheless I explained my part of the argument, and even offered you a quick and fair resolution to your claim, regardless of the fact that I did not agree with your interpretation of the facts.

You then continue to go on and on for no apparent reason. You have yet to acknowledge the fact that you are receiving immediate communication and a solution to the issue, and that this is not a scam. You have yet to retract your comments associating myself to your opinion of being a scammer, liar, etc. You continue to try and insult me with your unfounded comments, regardless of the fact that I've resolved your initial complaint.

So in summation, I can only formulate the following opinion of a person that conducts themselves in such a way....

Youz be da biggiz DOUCHE iz eva seenz...y dun u go fuk urself, in dee ASS..ship ma dam wheelz take yo money n choke on yo boyfrenz dik like the BITCH u rrr....mkay sailor?

Seriously, you have been offered a solution, and are yet to agree to it, and I'm sick of hearing your BS. Stop trying to trash me for nothing. Stop posting just send the damn thing so you can have your refund and be done with it.
I want absolutely nothing more to do with you.

No what you want me to do is ship to an address... that isn't yours. You offer no reason why I can't just ship to an address that is yours, and you're completely missing the fact that you lied about the description. You also won't allow me to use a mediator which makes me more comfortable. You won't give me any personal contact information, and you won't give me any kind of contract stating the exchange is formal. YOU SOUND SHADY. OK, I don't know if you think I'm going to send a hit man down there over $35 and you're scared or what, but it is just stupid. This sounds like a mafia trade off.

Have the goods in the case see... drop it off at a predetermined location see... You'll get what you've got coming to you. I swears on my uncle Vinnie :giggle: It is about the stupidest thing I've heard.

When you say the steering wheel looks great and it is a little spongy you get the idea that the seller is being forthright by admitting its flawed. No reason to ask questions. I haven't met a person on this forum I haven't liked and got along with so I just kind of figured it'd work out alright. I gave you the benefit of the doubt already, and that was me sending you cash. You are the one who has the distance to travel on this deal not me.

Oh and by the way I responded all this in the PM you sent me. Why did you PM me and post here publicly?

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I CAN POSSIBLY DO TO MAKE THIS ANY EASIER?
Honestly, either send back the wheel promptly, or just deal with it. I won't give you any other personal info, or my home address, etc.. You have everything you need from me to get your refund. Either go ahead with it, or forget it. If you think that I'm going to keep dealing with this and offering you your money back for days and days your sadly mistaken.

AT THIS POINT I'VE DONE EVERYTHING IN MY ABILITY TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT. IT'S UP TO YOU TO CLAIM YOUR REFUND. IF YOU DON'T, THEN THAT'S YOUR PROBLEM.

Travis, I know all too well about what it is to be scammed....Just handle things privately first and go from there mmmk

Travis you need to chill dude. There's no way the OP would have been here this long if he was a scammer. You handled this all wrong, now put on your big boy shorts and admit you were wrong ("we cant be 18 forever") The OP offered you a refund and you are making it much harder than it needs to be.

If you bought something from Best Buy and werent happy with it when you got home, would you return it to the store and get a refund or would you call Fox news to alert the public about a "potential scam".

All you have done here imo is made you self look like an ass and your deffinately someone I would never sell anything to.

Travis = :bang:

Hey I was trying to do what I thought was right. If I made anyone angy, or didn't follow protocol I apologize. I figured that’s what you always did. I've been ripped off a bunch of times, either not receiving something or what I received was wrong, and every time I treated it nice and gave the benefit of the doubt I ended up holding the stick and the other guy had my money.

Maybe I'm too cautious. You guys know him, and I don't. I understand personal character and he's been here for a while, but there's a lot of catholic priest that would still be laughing if we worked on that system.

I'm going to send this back to the O.P. address that he gave me, hopefully it works out.

Not a problem with being too cautious.... ;)
But not proceeding with a said solution is....
Good luck :)

Good to see you being cool about it now. Im sure itll work out in your favor.

how many trunk carpets do you have? Will they fit a 1990? (I dont see year of the car listed?) And Damn at half the convo of this thread...

Travis, glad this finally got sorted out. As I said before, I hope you post back here and put out the fire you started once you receive your refund. Stop sweating the address, its my business address..everything gets shipped to/from there, and it's a discount to ship since its a business so enjoy. You speak of being cautious, me not giving you my home address is me being cautious...I don't know of many people on the internet that would be comfortable giving out personal info to strangers...
That said, glad its done, and over with.

ICANTTHINK---sorry man carpets are on pending sale, I'll let you know if it falls thru and you'll have 1st chance to pick them up. I only have 1 set, they are from a 1996 (sorry had listed that in prev. thread) and I think they're all the same, but can't guarantee. FWIW the person that's buying them is putting them into a 1.6 so....
And sorry bout the convo, but what can I say...

Refund issued
 

Received wheel today at about 3:30, I just issued refund thru paypal....took less than 5hrs.

(full refund given since paypal refunded me their fees)

Awaiting scammer comments to be retracted...


(wanted to update this considering the amount of publicity this has gotten)

Thanks for giving me my money back tony.

Your teeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrific!

and so it goes on I guess....looks like nothing will make you happy. I (and prob others) really expected something more along the lines of: "Yup got the money, glad it got sorted out thank you" but instead it's more like "thanks for the money, ur still a scumbag" even though not the exact words...

Well here's the deal, I kept my end of the bargain and held to my word even after all the back and forth. You on the other hand want to carry on.

Fine for the umpteenth time:

It's EQUAL responsibility for both buyer/seller to understand the transaction. MY side of the story is you never asked for further explanation when you were told it was flawed. I think most people would have at least asked "how bad?", in fact since this car is 13+yrs old every single person has asked me for condition on items and I've given 10000000% accurate descriptions.
I have the track record to back this up, as a matter of fact AFTER your "scammer alert" I received yet ANOTHER positive feedback...Funny thing is the comment he posted was something along the lines of "good description". Look it up, in fact look them all up, then go to clubroadster and ask around as many parts were sold on there as well.
I cant believe I have to waste time defending my rep because of the likes of an ignorant buyer..."thank you, please DONT come again"

Also, let's not forget I am also out money because of this, again equal. In fact I shipped you the wheel insured and through DHL ground, which cost more than your postage thru USPS to ship it back. So technically NOT equal....

Again with the shipping address/personal info. Your reference to using small words comes to mind....THE PLACE WHERE YOU SHIPPED IT TO IS MY BUSINESS. I OWN THAT COMPANY, PERIOD. It's public record for crying out loud, look it up and correct yourself before making these accusations and again trying to tarnish my name. I was THERE when it was delivered today.
And once again I have no reason to give out my personal info to a stranger over the internet. Esp someone as "off" as you seem to be. Where I reside is none of your business, period. Furthermore, as I told you in my PM I'd rather deal with things via email/pm as its a written record. You're so worried about a scam, yet would rather no documentation of the instance? C'mon...

Your a complete waste. No one has yet to agree with any points made, but people seem to accept the way I'm handling things just fine. Every post you make keeps pressing on about this more and more with nothing to back it up. I've even been told PM-ing people who have posted their opinions on the situation and favored ME and are
bothering them?? Trying to convince them I'm a scammer.... You need to just give it up and be done with it. Almost every part has been sold (over 25 so far) and NOT ONE complaint other than yours which has been addressed. Your not gonna get people to turn on me when I've done nothing wrong, and have gone out of my way to FIX this immediately...again IMMEDIATELY.

Now go ahead and repost all the wrong info again about how shady I acted, and how how dangerous the wheel was, and how you lost out on all your money all because of me...In the meantime I will just keep laughing at your ignorance and complete misunderstanding at how things should work...

ahhh

TravisR, you need to take it easy. I cant believe you run a business with this attitude. The guy was decent enough to refund your money on what is after all a frivolous claim: 90% of early miata wheels are like this; its an 18 year old part and you're buying it for fucking 10% of its original price. Grow up.

Note post #34 by TravisR was edited....After I wrote post #35.
My long response/rant was in response to a MUCH diff post which he edited AFTER the fact (my post @ 9:23pm, his edit at 10:14pm)


"Thanks for giving me my money back tony.

Your teeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrific!

Yea I think people can see that Tony, its even written in the edit notes of my second post.

Just making my fellow members aware of the facts...Id think somebody would want to be warned about someone trying to possibly manipulate things, I'd expect the same courtesy back....Travis ;)

Hey like I was saying Tony is a great guy. :cool:

And you are a :jerkit:

Awwh tony we just made up. You taught me right from wrong!

Pretty strong words from a guy whose so afraid that he won't even talk to me on the phone. :bowrofl:

You are a loser but fortunately your inter-cred is intact.

Yes because talking on the phone is very dangerous...Haven't u heard? Retardation has mutated and can now be spread vocally, dont be offended its just a precaution I'm taking.

Or maybe you yearn to hear my voice? Are you one of those internet perverts or something? Should I call Chris Hanson at Dateline...?

My "inter-cred" always has been and always will be gold...just like my word, my rep, and even my real credit...It's who I am and how I govern myself. Regardless of little pissants like you...

You should stick to Pepboys, you can return stuff there in person, and have no fear of them ripping you off. Can even shake hands, touch little ricer boys and everything....

Whiney bitch
 

WOW....WOW.... So lets recap. OP has a part forsale. Describes it the best he can. Travis says "I'll take it" and sends payment. OP ships wheel. Travis receives wheel and isnt happy with its condition (which is fine for you to be unhappy). Travis then proceeds to post in this thread that the OP is a scammer and he wants his money back or he's gonna file a claim with paypal. All while having never directly contacting the OP via PM or email. Op responds with "ship me the wheel and I will issue a refund" Travis cries little girl for while but does send the wheel back. OP receives the wheel and immediately issues a refund. Travis continues to cry like a little girl.


You need to get a life dude! or :bang:

P.S. Please dont send me anymore pm's.
