    yes ...I sent him the the money a few days ago ....50/50 gut feeling
    here of con-job

    he did tell me that someone from this forum offered him more money for
    it but a pick up w/cod ... pick up is smart ...from here -Not-
    (maybe saw this posting)



    he contacted me today and told me that he would have
    ups tracking #'s by end of night ....

    I told him I would go out and buy candles to get ready to
    undo the curse I put on his daughters ...he laughed


    see what happens

    Never conduct a transaction outside of ebay when using paypal with a suspicious seller. You have recourse if the seller is a flake.

    Dohhh! My posting evaporated before my eyes!

    Oh well.
    I laugh when I read your posts! You are paranoid. That's not all bad, I may get taken a time or two more in this life than you.
    Be sure and leave him good feedback after all this if the part that shows up is good quality. To tell you the truth, the quality of the part is more what I would be worried about.

    Man that is a nice grill. 8 days is enough to start to wonder, but a lot of people just are not that prompt about shipping.
    He has a lot less feedback, and his name "[​IMG]whatyoudontknow505"? What you don't know doesn't sound like a rock solid honest guy!
    Parts will probably all show up. Hope they all arrive soon and you can get some rest.

    its psychological for me bcs I think I'm hitting the bumper and grill at
    bottom basement $ale prices with the "buy it now"

    and I'm never that lucky

    wait till the wife see's the credit card bill:Dou:

    gscalifornia Small blocks rule!!

    Looking at the auction it ended at 23:xx hours on the 2nd of June. I wouldn't expect to see that piece any time before June12th, or possibly the 15th.

    Give the guy a day after the auction ends to box it (the 3rd or 4th), another day to do it right(the 4th or 5th), a day to get to UPS(the 5th or 8th because of the weekend), and three to five days transit at least. And that assumes he's quick. I don't usually start getting nervous until two weeks after the auction ended.

    Buyers hate people who do that! Schedule a Carrier pickup and USPS will pickup your packages from your doorstep Monday-Saturday. It's free also.:spank:

    My wife buys and sells through craigslist and ebay like crazy. She has packages ready to pickup on the porch multiple times a week.

    I'm glad to hear it. I will probably be ordering a bumper from him when the time comes.
    Now, if you can get things right with the guy you got the grill from you will be in good shape!

    the grill guy said he will send the emblems out ...seems he forgot
    but took em off the grill ....ehehehh

    anyways I am redoing the grill ...it looks great from 10ft away but has some
    cracking paint paint on one side ...these things are so tedious to redo

    The guy probably made .50 cents a day south of the border. He probably does a great job at a great price, and Ebay charges a listing fee and almost 10% of final price so I dont blame him for trying to sell it outright , if he has good feedback dont worry about it .he will stand behind it. I have never scammed or been scammed on Ebay, 99% of transactions go just fine.PS I have 100% positive and am a power seller.SO BUY PARTS FROM MY CAR PLEASE
