On October 21st, I paid 454z06 $350 (plus covered paypal fees) for an LS2 TB and injectors.

On October 28th (a week later) I PMed him again saying I hadn't received the parts and asked for a tracking number. He PMed me back with the following:

Later that evening I PMed him again asking if he had located the tracking number. Never heard anything back.

I again PMed the guy at 8:18 AM yesterday (October 31st) morning and his profile says he logged in at 6:06 PM yesterday evening. All signs point to the guy is avoiding me.

To other buyers, be warned.

I'm glad to read your "plus covered PayPal fees" line because he's not keeping your money for long without producing actual proof of shipping. Just sucks that some people, whether because of laziness, carelessness or misrepresentation of an item, put other members in a difficult spot to have to call them out on a public forum. It doesn't help anyone to speculate, but this happened to me on a different forum. Although the pics seller had sent me looked great, the item was actually not operating, had been broken for a while. After nearly 2 weeks of "today/tomorrow", he manned up, apologized and refunded my money. Whatever the case is, Good luck

I understand people have things come up (I myself was selling some parts last month, got paid and then couldn't ship because I had a family member in the hospital out of town), but all it takes is a simple "hey, here's the situation" to keep everyone in the loop (I texted my buyers and let them know the situation so they wouldn't feel scammed).

I already notified my bank (USAA) and they said the money would be back in my account by the end of the week.

Found this PM in my inbox this morning:
This explains why on the 28th, when he said he gave them to his wife and she was finding the tracking number, he never came back with anything. Parts never got shipped. The guy only now "discovered" that he hadn't shipped the parts. This is after several PMs went unanswered and my finally informing him that I was filing with my credit card company, paypal and leaving a bad review. With his lack of response, I find it hard to believe that his story is legitimate. I would expect that if he truly believe they were shipped, then when his wife couldn't find the tracking number on the 28th, he would have discovered the situation then. But my feeling is either he knew the parts hadn't been shipped, or did care enough to check. Either way, I won't be buying from this guy again.

Seller just refunded the money through paypal.
