15 days with no response and I would have filed a Paypal dispute. Assinine. I can't believe this guy has so many nutswingers defending him. I get that life happens and sometimes **** happens but if you refuse to communicate that to me then **** you gimme my money back. That is NO way to run a business.

I wholeheartedly agree. There's no excuse for taking someone's money and then ignoring them for almost a month. There's no way you're "too busy" to take 30 seconds to respond to his pm and update him on the situation.

Sorry guys but I have now banned him. He wasn't a vendor here. He never paid to become one and has been selling under the radar or I never saw it. I have also received several complaints about him. He now won't be able to get back to any of you. Sorry for those have been screwed over by him, but I dont want members like him here, let alone a vendor(even though he never was a paying vendor here).

Also, you guys need to be careful who you buy from. If they don't have a vendor tag under their username, then they are not a paying vendor here. We are not responsible for any issues you may have with a paying or non paying vendor, but a paying vendor would be more legit of a user then one that is selling under the radar here and more into keeping his rep clean. Just letting you all know. You shouldn't be buying things from a non vendor on here.

Lot's of guys here selling stuff that aren't "vendors" without any issues. The car hobby was born from one enthusiast selling to another enthusiast. I'm not trying to defend this guy because it really sounds like he sucks at the business end of stuff (although I don't think anyone got taken for cash, just strung out a bit), but let's not poo poo all private party sales over one dude.

@Z71Hobbs ordered from him and received incorrect parts with no resolution. I'd say that counts as not getting what you paid for.


That may be true but I don't see where he says that.
Got a reply back today from gmachinz apologizing and informing me that the package was shipped and he provided a tracking number. As others had indicated, he came through.

I never gave the follow up as I was so pissed at the matter. That message was posted immediately after I got a tracking mumber..which came days after I started a PayPal dispute. Once I opened the package and saw that the wrong parts were sent, I tossed the whole thing in the garbage and said screw it.

I’m not an isolated instance..other forums have members with similar experiences that involve disputes ultimately going to PayPal resolution. The kicker is he would log in daily on this site (and other sites), and not respond.

I get it..you sell long enough you’re gonna have a bad experience or two. The list is quite long with this particular member.

As a seller, I wouldn’t ever let it get that far. I remain responsive. I recently sold a switch and usps misplaced it. I asked him to wait a week and if it didn’t show I’d issue a refund-even if it costs me money. As a seller, that is my risk. Ultimately the package showed up 2 weeks late, but did show up.
