I have the same type of issue with a member on RX7Club.
A guy called :
Jamal ( Jay ) Purches
4414 billings street
Flint
Michigan
48505-5319
Ph:810-280-4428
email # 1 : catahome@aol.com
email # 2 : Rx74unme@webtv.netThis guy has tons of FC parts , I have bought lot of misc parts from him , it takes for ever to get them , at once I had to do a PayPal dispute to get my stuff and finally got it.
Last august I was talking to him and he said he had a nice S4 differential with matching stub axles for $200.00 usd at that time I didn't have the funds and he emailled back a few times and he said for $150.00 I'll sell it to you if you pick up the shipping so I bought it.
After many emails , PayPal dispute time is way over 45 days , I email the guy each week and since Dec. 1st 2010 I call him weekly asking him just to refund my money and be done with it.
He has millions of excuses ( always polite every time we talk ) but still haven't received my money. I offered him to give me $50.00 a week or something but nothing.
I'm pretty sure I have lost $150.00 .
It sucks because I'm a very honest person and never steal anything from any body , I have 100% feedback on ebay ( as a seller or buyer ) over 10 years and same thing on various forums.
I'd never take money from someone if I cannot deliver what we agreed on.
