Without it being fixed, he runs the risk of accidentally hitting a portion of the muffler that is already damaged and causing a hole/crack to form an exhaust leak VERY EASILY, whereas if these portions were undamaged then he would be in a better situation and chance of not forming a hole/crack in the exhaust.

With Kevin at Fast Intention quoting Pooya about $385 for each axleback section (includes shipping in price) that would be $770 and from what I remember this item was only listed for $750. Do not know if Pooya is comfortable sharing what he exactly paid for the item, but if he did say pay the $750, in the insurance game we call that a total loss and $750 would be paid to the insured.

I'm still told Pooya to push for a full refund of his money through paypal due to the extent of the damage and deception of the condition for the sale. Fraud is illegal haha

Also another for you Pooya, See if paypal will include him paying for the shipping for the damaged item back to him
Shipping it back to him will cost $200-$250... It's just such a shitty situation. PayPal is "investigating" till January 2nd. Not sure what they're investigating because they haven't asked for any proof yet. Maybe I should call them again... Also, you're spot on with my total cost for this exhaust = What I paid him + what it cost me to drive to the border and pick it up.

I would call them again and again and again and again and again. Day after day. Asking them each time "How would you like me to send over picture and message evidence to help move the claim along quicker?" Make sure they know you're persistent until that one person takes it from you via email, mail, or fax.
Give them an incentive to help you help them.

so.

I'm new to the forum (ish). what tips do y'all have for transactions? here's what i've gathered so far:

-paypal it, credit card linked preferrably. insure for @ least how much the item is (if you're the one shipping it)
-photos. lots of photos. for disclosure of item condition
-timeline/itinerary for how long it should take to arrive

-use FedEx for shipping. looks like USPS can't keep a hold of packages, and UPS looks like they deliver where ever tfuq they want to at times...

anything i'm missing..? I'm very wary about getting scammed, because..well. patience isn't exactly my suit. and lying doesn't exactly tickle my fancy.

Before I sell anything that's expensive I make a video of it thoroughly and send it to the seller with the date and time in the video and showing that everything works as it should. Just in case you can have that as proof because the pictures can be altered.

If you're really worried about it then don't buy anything too expensive and just make sure that the member you're buying from has a good reputation and provides a sufficient amount of proof.

Unfortunately, it looks like Fred Beans Nissan has let Jomer go (or he left on his own accord - I'm not entirely sure). And they have dumped their entire online parts department apparently

According to this thread, anyway: UPS: Damage claims. Not sure what will happen to their sponsorship on this forum; I expect they will let it lapse.

Too bad, considering they had the best OEM prices I could find ...

Man that sucks for both Jomer & all of us. Jomer was the hook up on parts.

As far as their forum sponsership, I doubt anything will change there, just look at GTM & all that messy history & yet still shown as a forum sponser with no warnings to new members

He's been around a while but less active in recent years; I just see occasional posts from him now. I wonder if any of the OG's know a better way to contact him. No excuses, but hopefully you get a refund or your part in good order
