Hey guys, i recently got a GT4 front end but the hood came badly dented. Is it worth fixing or should i just get another hood?
      What do you guys think? its really bad. I am fighting with the shipping company right now to claim the damages. |

QUOTE (Lone_Wolf @ May 28, 2011 - 11:33 PM)  I used paypal with the purchase but paypal is like a double edged sword if the seller pulled his funding source from paypal they can't and won't do anything about it and your left with nothing this is not the first time I've been scammed on ebay with paypal luckily the first time I got scammed I was only down $40 its just a lesson you have to experience and learn for yourself I regret buying from them but all I can do is share my experience and be more smart about it next time plus it doesn't help that this scammer is overseas so just beware if your buying from overseas triple check that the buyer or company is legit before you throw down money I'm just so glad it wasn't a 3sgte engine that I bought at least the 2nd hood they sent me was in "repairable" condition. Learn from my mistakes and be extra careful when buying from overseas is the moral of this story. that's weird, paypal - with anything over $300 they can pull the money out in place it in the seller's account, but it is put on a strict hold, until you as the "buyer get your item as described" that way no one scams the other by taking the money away; im sure of that because that's what happen to me. sure it goes to their account, but there's still a hold on it....make a claim with paypal disputing item was not as describe, explain damage and let paypal judge the case (in most case, it always work out for the buyer); tell them you made contact and the seller is not willing to come to a fair agreement. make the case before it's too late, i hope it is not too late in your case. (brief and detail descriptions usually works best; mention the time and long efforts you tried to make it work) no excuses, even if you are overseas. MONEY's Money no matter how you look at it.
