I'm not sure where I can post a great seller since its closed out."Stillen exhaust purchased" But sangahlang was a good guy with good product. I was a little blitz more or less still from the Saturday night before. But i was in a race sunday morning to get there to beat the competition & make it happen. We worked out the deal in sort time. I Would recommended sangahlang as a Buyer or Seller. Thanks Sangahlang!

DO NOT BUY FROM SlowZ

It has been brought to my attention and with some research

That SlowZ is in fact HumbleZ34 from this posted email

Braille 11.5 race battery

Same user email in first report of this member

Scam Warning Thread / Bad experience with a member / bad or no shipment

Members **DO NOT BUY FROM THIS MEMBER IN THE NEAR FUTURE**

Members whom bought from him and things went well? Consider yourself LUCKY.

Anyway just a heads up as HE will not be having access to the Classifieds as he has already lost his PM privileges so that why he has to post his #

What would you do?

Dude wants to buy my OEM rays... ok sweet! So, he sends credit card payment via PayPal, but addresses don't match anywhere. The one on paypal doesn't match the one he wanted me to send it to. And... it's a P.O. box, that he said was his parents house.

I asked him update paypal and resend the payment after I refunded the first one. His question: "Can you just omit the P.O. box?". My response was no, because I'd have no protection through paypal.

Guy updates paypal, this time he sends an eCheck. I didn't see an address on the payment, but I thought it was because it hadn't cleared. It took till today to clear, which it did. Still, no address at all listed on this payment.

Which means, here we are again... no protection from paypal.

Now... with payment cleared and no address, no protection, he wants me to send them anyway. Lastly, his response after telling him about the missing address, "As long as they are what you say they are then there should be no issues."

Is the guy trying to pull one over on me? I'm starting to feel like it only because it shouldn't be this hard to complete this transaction.

We've been texting, and using PM's... seems like a nice guy. Lives in TN.

Any advice or incite on what might be going on?? I just don't want a paypal reversal to hit my account for $900 a month later leaving me with nothing.

If it looks shady it usually is.

When it doubt, don't do it. If the guy wants them bad enough, he'll go to the trouble of doing it so you are comfortable with the arrangements. The fact that he doesn't seem to understand how Paypal works leads me to believe that he does understand and is scamming you. Or is a total newb to Paypal and online payments in general. Either way, I would be very careful. Cover Your ***.

JARblue · 07-08-2015, 10:49 AM

I wouldn't send him $hit ... well, maybe literal $hit: poopsenders - SWEET revenge at its finest

Mr. EastGasXWest has some excellent advice here. Woe upon you if you do anything with the buyer and it is not face-to-face.
