Mopar A-E Body parts for Sale - FaceBook

This one is not fun to write but maybe it will help out some members when parts shopping. If you read the thread you've seen that I did my due diligence and attempted to check out the seller before purchasing. No red flags came up, no problems showing from FaceBook, etc, so I decided to proceed with a $250 order for some 69 Cuda grille parts. I had extensive messages with the seller and confirmed the price, the shipping, etc. I sent the $250 via Paypal Friends at his request on Aug 4. We continued talking about other parts until Aug 9. I kept telling him to send me the shipper and shipping number. Since Aug 9, no response to my messages, except the automatic "we got your msg" reply. They do not answer the phone or return msgs. I sent an email to the listed email address, no response. Total quiet. The FaceBook page is "MOPAR A - E BODY PARTS FOR SALE". As of now the page is still up. I took my first steps today by reporting it to Facebook. My second step is to let everyone who reads this know. Yes, I know that maybe I should have done some things different. Not the least of which is using the PayPal Friends, the seller specifically requested it, and I know that many prefer it so that they will get all the sale money. My next step is to talk with Paypal, probably nothing they can do, but I'm going to wait another day or so just in case there has been a health problem or some other valid reason. Biggest aggravation is the parts were supposed to be a birthday present for my son who is restoring his own 69 FB Cuda. Thanks FABO and all who work to keep the site running at such a high level.
