HAHA, I find that kind of funny, merely because maybe 6 months ago (could be more now) that same guy was selling some parts I needed. I sent him messages on the website he was selling them on (a few of them), his Myspace page and I even got his number again and called him a few times. I heard nothing back from him ever again. Friends of his said he kind of fell off the face of the earth, which is wierd. I wanted the parts...
Not sure what he's been up to, or if he even still owns the car.
I purchased an item through paypal from ebay (i believe around $100) and never recieved it. When I made a claim, eventually I won and was to recieve a refund. When I checked the refund, it was only a small portion (maybe 30% or so). I asked Paypal what is going on with it, and they said that Paypal only covers a portion of the refund, the rest has to come from the seller, but ONLY if he (the seller) puts money in his account, which he didn't. I was really pissed, so use at your own risk.
I sold a 66 malibu ss for $26000.00 on ebay. I asked for 1000.00 via paypal and the rest in cashieris check. I held the title untill it all cleared. The guy who bought it was a business man in NY. He owns a Limo company. Knowing who your dealing with is very important.
