You better report it to the police and post office. This isn't the first time someone has done this on the website. Shady bastards! They're the reason I don't like to buy unless it's local!

Go here and file a criminal complaint.

I did this once, and I was amazed how fast an effective it was.

They will send the jerk a stern letter notifying him that a criminal investigation will be initiated unless he makes good on the deal within 45 days (IIRC). You will get some paperwork too -- a form to send them if he does comply, that will end the investigation.

If he doesn't want to comply in the allotted time frame, he will get an unwelcome visit from a USPS Inspector or two. Make no mistake, he's not getting a visit from "Cliff Clavin" the mailman. The Postal Inspectors are badge-sportin', gun-totin', door-kickin' bad@sses who take mail fraud rather seriously. It is a federal offense.

That is mail fraud, a very very serious offense. Report it immediately.

I suggested the trader rating idea in the "forum feedback/suggestions" and my thread was deleted. I guess the mods didn't like the idea?

I would feel much more comfortable buying parts from people on here if there was a trader rating system in use.

this is a problem at many MANY car sites on the internet. Every forum that I've been apart of for any length of time has always had a couple of *******s ripping fellow members off.

I bought from Tunedin302 and he did everything right! I sold something to Edbert a while back too, he paid up instantly and all went well. Those two are on my super duper approved list!

Yeah I know funny thing is he talked to ya every time you called but as soon as your check cleared no contact at all.
