You make it sound so simple. I'm sure theres some clause in the PayPal T&C that has allowed these scammers to get away...

What I reckon is this: they ask if theres anything they should know about the car, the seller misses something out, they buy the car pay with paypal, it clears, seller gets money sends off car, they receive the car and file paypal dispute over some bullshit thing that seller didnt state and 99% of the time paypal sides with the buyer and the money gets transferred into their paypal account and the seller's paypal account is suddenly minus whatever amount and they dont return the car, strips it down or whatever and paypal chases up with the seller to recoupe the money.

That is an extremely complicated way to rip someone off and IMO unlikely to be a clean get away as the level of identification, communication and contact required would result in a way to find the person again. You'd be better off doing the old 'lets take it for a test drive' and jump the driver. Much simpler and cleaner.

In the two examples listed in this thread where people were ripped off were because they read an email to say they had the funds but didn't log into PayPal and check to see that the funds were actually in their account. The step after that is for the seller to transfer the funds from PayPal into their own personal bank account. If these steps had been followed the people would not have been ripped off.

why not just do it the old fashioned way with a bank transfer? :P worked for me

If you transfer $ into someone's account and they rip you off it is virtually impossible to get the $ back. The saying goes 'buyer beware' for a reason.

I don't work for PayPal and it seems strange that I am defending them but as a user since 2006 I have never once had a problem whereas I have had two problems with groupbuys on SAU where I deposited funds straight into someone's account. I feel safer as a buyer using PayPal.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
