Anybody have any dealing with CORVETTE SOUTH,on E-bay its [Spinnercenter]. Will i order a Steering Wheel Oct 3 paid 4 it, will no wheel so far. E mail them five times,no answer, called 8 times sometimes three times a day. They tell me i have to talk to Kevin. Wil Kevin will be in at 2pm, call, call,NO KEVIN. So i read the feedback for Spinnercenter,what a shock. Was wondering if anyone got a raw deal like me. Ebay is investigating them.

Never buy from anyone on Ebay that doesn't have at least a 99.5 feedback rating. You will probably never hear from Kevin - Kevin probably doesn't exist. This guy has 16 negative feedbacks in the last month. - SCAM ARTIST!

Sorry to hear about that William. Those feedback ratings are your friend, but I hope it works out for you.

William. Contact your credit card toll free number on the back of the card, they will advise you on how to regain the money paid.

Good Luck

Buy from Willcox! I was down in Bloomington - Nashville - Columbus area last week visiting the relatives at Purdue and Indiana. Wanted to get to Jeffersonville but ran out of time. Maybe next time!

And always pay through Paypal.

Notify the authorities.

I'm betting there will be a case for wire fraud, if they go after this slug.

so lets see, you bought an item on ebay with a debit card when you have a credit card you could have used? and you bought the item without looking at the guys feedback rating?

how about submitting a claim using ebay buyer protection on the part? or was the part exempt from that?.. i think you are supposed to give him 45 days before escalating it though..

I bought it outside of ebay, he was selling Black ones,so i called him to see if he would get a Red one.He said yes. The point is he never replyed to my emails and calls,to see were its at. When i call they say to talk to Kevin,Kevin is never there.Ebay protection will not pay when you go outside of them.

Hi William,

If it turns out that they do not ship your item, you really should call your bank about this. I understand you used your card as a debit, but I would be surprised if the bank does not offer some sort of buyer protection based on your card. It's certainly worth a shot for a free phone call to your bank. Explain the situation to them and see what they say.

I appreciate you letting us know about this company. You may have saved others from being ripped off. From one of the posts above, it appears you did that already

Adam

William..

If you didn't purchase it through eBay then they are not going to do anything for you.

But... It shouldn't matter if you used it as a debit or credit.. you still have rights as the cardholder. Have you called the 800 number on the back of the card? Tell them you would like to file a charge-back against a fraudulent charge and I'll bet they get on it for you.

Sometimes you have to take it up the chain of command.
