Craig 0 Posted August 6, 2014 I couldn’t find any bad seller thread so I Just wanted to make people aware of the ebay seller the_street_shop and my recent experience. I ordered a set of VR6 replacement fog light lenses and paid through eBay/PayPal back in April yet nothing has arrived. I contacted the seller and they said they will look into it for me, then no response, i then chased again to which they said it had been posted and asked for my address again to check, I asked for the proof of postage and tracking number and no response. This process took about 2 months to get replies from the seller. I then contacted Ebay who formally contacted the seller on my behalf however, again no reply was received. Ebay said they will investigate the seller if no contact is received however cannot help with my transaction as i didn’t raise a dispute with in 30 days of the expected delivery date, However this is because i was in correspondence with the seller and awaiting their replies, which is what Ebay and Paypal advise you to do in such circumstances. So because the seller took so long to reply to my messages, ebay and Paypal accept no responsibility. In essence i just wanted to make people aware to raise an issue straight away with any seller and to avoid this seller if looking for corrado parts. This is the first issue ive ever had with an ebay/PayPal transaction and im left a little shocked by how badly either has handled my case and essentially passed the buck amongst themselves with no one taking ownership and unwilling to help, to top it off i cant even leave negative feedback against the seller to warn off others as this feature has lapsed on my purchase! Not a happy chappy and i certainly wont be using Ebay/Paypal again for any purchases over a tenner! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BILLCOR 1 Posted August 6, 2014 My rules are, if items don't arrive within 2 weeks start a Paypal dispute, they will 99% go in your favour, then if the goods turn up, its easy enough to repay the seller Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Craig 0 Posted August 6, 2014 I raised it with the seller as suggested by eBay/PayPal and that exchange of messages took so long, unbeknown to me i missed my window of opportunity to raise a dispute, it makes me think the seller knew this and delayed his responses on purpose. I just feel rather miffed that ive paid for goods through the legitimate channels and im left with no one willing to help. I guess next time as you say the good grace of givnig them time to resolve the issue goes out the window and ill be straight onto eBay! however as people search for new fog lights i thought id highlight my case to warn others!

Dude VR6 0 Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) I've also been stung by this guy. Again i brought a set of fog light lenses of him, and had some commuication from him. But he was trading under a different name, so I posted my money, and never got any parts from him There was a thread about these guys on here a while ago, and on VWVortex. the orginial sellers name was under Original German Folks i think Edited August 6, 2014 by Dude VR6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Craig 0 Posted August 6, 2014 sorry about that Dude Vr6, i take it you didnt get a refund or reply? well if any other buyers are considering his lenses from USA, hopefully they see this and it raises some awareness of this chaps scams and stops another potential victim then all is not lost. If i cant get my funds back then it would be nice to stop him from doing this to others! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie 1 Posted August 6, 2014 My rules are, if items don't arrive within 2 weeks start a Paypal dispute, they will 99% go in your favour, then if the goods turn up, its easy enough to repay the seller Exactly this. If the seller is genuine they will soon turn up a tracking number once you lodge a Paypal dispute. If they're not then you just see it through and get a refund. Sorry you two lads have been done over. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
