How I got burned for 410 dollars, and my quest to get it back

[robrez]

Sellers don't need to get tracking information or insurance, let alone pack their items carefully. BUT, if the don't and something goes wrong, it's on them, not the buyer.

Give the guy a chance to respond before flipping out.

Fuckin' read the thread before posting. The OP CLEARLY states that he has tried to give the guy the benefit of the doubt and tried multiple times to contact him over a period of 45 days...

Dispute will drag him back

Also, he hasn't been on this forum since the 6th. I don't know if that's normal for him or not, but he uses the same s/n everywhere so he's easy to find (hint: he's active on e46fanatics). Give the guy a chance to respond before flipping out.

seller know's that buyer is going to raise sh*t here, that's why he's not here.

Heck, i'd stay away from here if I royally screwed someone over too.

If USPS repackaged it it'd be in a USPS box, not a generic brown box.

welp im never buying shit off that guy

I generally operate on the "no news is good news" principle.

I don't know about any of you guys, but I diligently always follow up with anyone who I sell parts to..ebay, r3v etc

no matter what the value...sold a steering wheel here not long ago for $50 and kept in touch with the buyer to assure it worked out for him

For $410 i'd be on the ball even moreso.

[Cyrix2k]

I'm not going to weigh in on the repacking, but will say that I have received letters from the USPS that have been ripped in pieces, shoved in a new envelope, and sent to me with damaged marked on the outside.

As for insurance, it can be tricky whose responsibility it is. If the seller didn't ask you, I'd put the blame on him. If a buyer declines, then it is 100% on them. In general, once it leaves a seller, it is no longer their responsibility. I don't insure low value items but will cover damage out of my pocket should something happen.

Maybe this wheel got tore up in international shipping? The photo of the wheel in the FS ad looks like an Ebay ad wheel. There is a guy that refinishes them for 350 and shipping back and forth.
