Bad transaction from a Facebook seller
What would you do?
Remember the 440 6pk intake and carbs that was listed on the page a while back? Well I was the lucky guy who bought them. Or so I thought. After I paid for them, I made contact with the seller to ship. He hemmed and hawed around and had all kinds of excuses why it was taking so long and finally said they were being shipped out. They were coming in two packages. The intake would be in one package, the carbs in another. I came home from work one day and there’s the box on my front porch. I excitedly open the top of the box and look in. It’s the intake, and it’s broken. The front ear on the right side is broken off. One of the carb bolt holes on the same side is broken off. I contacted UPS and told them I have a damaged delivery. UPS told me to leave it in the same box and they would issue a pickup.
At that point I contacted the seller and let him know the intake was broken and how much insurance he had on it. He said he had to check with his wife and see how much she insured it for. After a few days and a number of requests, he comes back and says that his wife didn’t insure the intake, which is odd because when she sent the tracking number, she said the intake and carbs was worth $3500. Neither the intake nor the carbs were properly packaged. They were basically put in a box and the box taped up. There was no paper packing or bubble wrap. The next day, the UPS driver called me and said he had another package for me. It was the carbs. He said he wasn’t going to leave them at my house because I had to sign and because of the condition of the box, and I went and met him on his route. The box was all beat up but the carbs seem okay.
So I PM’d the seller and said I needed an intake or compensated for the intake and he said I already got an intake. We had a brief back and forth and he said he would get me another intake because they aren’t worth that much and he could find me one on the cheap. Every intake I’ve looked at is in the $450 range.
Anyway, I haven’t heard from the guy in ten days and since then he changed his name on facebook and is using another paypal account now. What would you guys do?? I did use Paypal for the transaction. I would like to get this resolved sooner than later.
The guys name is Mike Utley and recently changed his page to Ryans Page.
