did he specify it wasnt vin specific? or was he just sellng a tcu and you assumed it would work? not every transaction goes smoothly and for me i have been fortunate that only a couple of low priced items burned me. for myself my reputation on the forums means more to me than any sale. maybe the seller isnt as worried about what folks think. cant say until he decides to post his side if he chooses.
He did say it was a good usable part for an SRT-6. When I informed him that the part was potentially VIN specific he lied and stated that the part was already shipped. He could have easily refunded the payment 2 days prior to making the shipment. He didn't he lied and stated the part was shipped and then cancelled my paypal refund request on the 19th the day he actually shipped the part. If I get stuck with a non-usable part that is totally on me. I thought that others would like to know of a bad trader so that no one else gets burned by the same trader? Didn't we have a trader on the site a while back with multiple forum names who took money from multiple members?
