Also some credit cards (VISA I know) can refund you the money themselves.  They then take it back off the entity that charged you forcing them to prove their claim.

 

Dunno how it would work with Paypal though.

That's right. Ferni, you should be OK if you paid via credit card. Dunno about INASNT though?? it's going to be hard proving you Bluetoothed 20G's to someone's account... maybe tell them you SMS'd the money intead, that should work :D .

tridentt150v: thanks, but i don't think my case is serious enough for that.

There is someone else who has pm'd me who got ripped by a bit more and has been in contact with a few different NZ authorities... i'll suggest it to him, thanks.

thanks meshmesh, I will try my CC company.

OK, but I would look at it like I was doing other 'would be suckers' a favour. Remember, the more complaints ahtcc get, the more likely they are to act and close this A*#@eh0le down. It just might save someone else from being 'had', look at it like its your good turn for the day.

Yeah i am definatly chasing it - not to get my money back just to get this prick ....

Just don't think ahtcc will look at my petty case, but your right the more they have against him the more htey will do - the other guy that pm'd me i offered that whoever takes on his case i will contact them and tell them my story to, so they know its not just a 1 off case

If you payed by credit card you are 100% fine.

Beleive it or not but you can dispute a credit card payment up to 12 months later. They will reverse the payment straight away and the funds will be removed from his account.

The credit card company will make the person who received the money prove the transaction is not fraudlulent to get there money back, not make you prove it to get your money. They would rather look after you as you are there customer.

Does anyone know what his name is. Sorry to say i think its kind of stupid to trust someone that you do not know. I only work Cash on delivery so i know i cant get screwed. Still that guy needs to be kiked in the arse for all this shit, he will get whats coming to him, dont worry!

Well the paypal transaction i used my credit card, it got taken out about 9-10days ago... I wasn't sure if i could do that.. i guess i can try - has anyone done it before?

Credit card transactions usually have some insurance attached....don't know if it coveres this though. However an e-mail to your credit card provider with full details of the situation could possibly result in them getting your money back, but do it now don't lose any more time

i paid a guy in brisbane via direct transfer.

ripped off to the tune of $1100.

sent me a worn standard clutch and some bogus midsection exhaust, for what was meant to be a hks twin and nismo front pipes.

contacted the brisbaine police computer crimes investigtion unit.... they approached this maggot face to face, he lied stating that it was his house mate and he has shot threw. police ring me to say "tuff titties". :D

someone should find out were these ****ers live

not exactly relevent

but a little story of my own :D

at my old work this guy used to come around and be pretty friendly and anyway was gonna sell us these mini discs from his friend at sony we were dumb and all paid like 500 each for like 1000 dollar machines...

never saw him again

but anyway one day

at my last job (working at a juice bar :) yes i know (like boost for those who dont know) anyway i was a team leader there, anyway the fat **** theif was all hot and sweaty n shit and he came for a drink and i barred him and told him to bring the mini discs first lol

he said all this shit pretending not to know what imt alking about and said his gonna get me fired and got the head office phone number...

never heard shit about it :rant:

sweet little revenge :rant:

ferni contact paypal and lodge a payment dispute form. Its actually quite effective. I've bought a couple of things off ebay from shonky dealers who either sent me pirated crap or nothing at all. One quick letter to paypal and 5 days later I have my entire amount back, no questions asked. They're awesome. If paypal fails, then you can get your bank to reverse the charge. That is if you have credit insurance.

Yeah, I thought there was a little bit of security when dealing with Paypal/Escrow. Hope you get your cash back Ferni. Reading through the NS.co.nz site is quite horrific - I remember when the Ray Mullany deal was going on, and I thought it all passed... I hope that snowboard I bought on eBay is going to come my way! :D

with COD you have to pay and sign before Aus post will hand you the parcel. What happens when you open it to find a housebrick?

funky - i lodged the paypal claim thursday, haven't heard anything yet but we'll see...

As for COD, i got a clutch COD'd the other day, picked it up i asked if i could inspect it first she said no...

it was fine - got it in today, all working fine :)

From a sellers point, I don't totally trust COD. I've sent stuff COD and then the idiot at the other end - the buyer who wanted the stuff in the first place - didn't collect. This means that the goods are sent back to me and I have to pay postage and charges and no sale. I now prefer direct deposit, or a direct deposit part payment and then COD for the rest.

Note that this sort of thing happens, not all the time, but it happens.

I've also tried to inspect COD packages prior to paying for them, and was told you can't. You should be able to, but the APO is just piggy in the middle and they won't play.

That happeneed to me a few years ago when i got a safc cod'ed to me. When i went to pick it up the box looked abit small so i asked if i could check what it was but a biach at aus post said no, so i said fine send it back i am not paying for something i dont know what is and started an argument with her when the post office was preety busy. Her manager heard and came over and let me check what was inside, and luckly i did coz it was some ***ing autometer boost gauge not a safc, so i sent it back to the guy who posted it and rang him up asking wtf he was trying to pull. He said he had sent the wrong thing to me and the safc was sent to sydney or sum crap and he said he would send it back and make a note that i was allowed to check the parcel before payment.

A week later i went back to same post office, checked before i payed and it was infact a safc this time.

yeah i'm guessing if i kicked up a stink they would of let me check... i didn't because i already had some trust for the guy sending it to me,,, and he didn't rip me off luckly :(

now for this graeme fckwit, if i get my hands on him...

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • 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.
    • 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
    • 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)?
