Hey guys,

I bought a a pillar boost gauge holder a few months back from high_performance_importz.

I payed for it but NEVER recieved the item. Shortly after his account said "no longer a registered ebay user". I couldnt leave feedback because of this.

I saved him as a favourate seller and today recieved an email saying he has new items listed.

Its up to you if you want to go ahead with a sale but i highly recommend you dont.

i bought an electric supercharger (adds huge hp) and super vortex fuel saver (save fuel and add more hp) from the same guy.....

.....actually nah, i didn't.

sorry to hear about your misfortune. did you contact Ebay and notify them?

I live in nsw hes in qld.

I deposited the money into his account and I STILL HAVE THE RECIEPT

Yes i told ebay.

There wasnt much they could do because he wasnt a registered ebay user anymore. Now that hes back im gona see what i can do.

atleast now everyone has to use pay pal, should be the same on forums, if your selling something you have to list your pay pal account as a payment method.

Paypal is good for the buyer but absolutely shits me off as a seller - you sell something on ebay you need to pay a LISTING fee to put it up and then you got to pay ebay ANOTHER fee when the auction ends which is a certain percentage of the total and then if the buyer pays by paypal then paypal charges another percentage of the total - and the annoying thing is ebay OWNS paypal therefore more profit for them! and ebay was attempting to make paypal as the only means of payment the other month but didnt but instead made it that every seller has to list paypal as an option. Ridiculous. I could go on more.

I'm with you, hate the Paypal option when you're selling something. I'm glad they decided (were forced?) not to make people have to use Paypal and get stung with all of the fees. Because it has to be one of the options though I would say a lot of buyers will use it for protection. Basically it ends up being the same result ebay, more fees/ money for them. Sucks how the scammers ruin things for the honest sellers. I guess it will help the ebusinesses out there get their money and keep track of things but surely they will get hit slightly harder with fees too.

LOOK what they sell http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Turbo-Whistler-Fake...1QQcmdZViewItem If link dont work item number: 320274736961

I think we all need this item to be cool.

I have sold a few things through ebay, been payed through paypal and never been charged a fee by paypal, perfect option for me when selling or buying.

how about eveyone how reads this sends him an email and ask him to send the item to wet-25t (we will need your ebay user name)if there is alot of emails he mite get the idea....

Hahahaha some funny comments up there.

I lost $27.50 including postage in total. Its not much but i really didnt want to screw my boost gauge into the a piller. After being ripped off i ended up doing just that which is the most annoying part about it all.

Anyways thanks for the support guys, and even though im not getting my money back or the item, i feel better that ive done what i can by letting others know it could happen to them.

Hes the first person to rip me off and before him i was never worried. Now i try to only buy items that i can pick up because i dont have paypal.

Thanks again

Corey.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
