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...

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
