I won a front bumber from these guys. There ebay seller name is "bestdealparts"

They want my credit card number over the phone.. when I asked for paypal they said they don't have one. Can anyone thats near verify who they are for me visually?? They said there a well known company called creative innovations or something to that effect. I know it had innovations in it.

I only take money order, money transfer, and credit card over the phone

if u want to send money order, please send money order to:

Percy Yiu
16F 199 Drake ST
Vancouver, BC

i didn't give them any money. If you look they offer paypal on ther auction. I really would like that bumper though, it would look hot on my car. I got a friend that put a corvett rear and a fararri on a older supra. I sure he can graf it perfectly. but anyway i guess i better keep looking for something nice.

I'd send eBay a heads-up showing how the auction stated paypal okay but now the buyer is being fishy. That way if it gets into a pissing match, you've already got an electronic 'paper trail' on your side

I allready talked to ebay. They told me there going to do am investigation. I went on the record and mentioned and pointed out to the person that I was talking to(live chat) that in the auction they accepted paypal; never the less, pay pal DOESN"T COVER SHIPPING COSTS. and on that note I didn;t send a payment.


besides.. i found a seller in cali.. for $129.00 the only thing is the shipping. -165.. I think I am just going to wait and get enough money to get a complete set. same place for a whole kit it cost 511 shipped.

but over all with this scare I had.. I am just going to relax for a bit and let my pockets gain a lil weight.

If you remember the business name that would help, i looked under that name and there is 3 people with that name here in vancouver. but under business names it would be alot easerier

side note: there is a guy that lives in vancouver that does go on car forums selling **** and ripping people off, the only thing is that he goes under alot of names and alot of people want him dead. and apperently he has fucked around on this site before. i know you didnt get this off of here but still over ebay. Iam not saying it could be him but there is **** tards that live here

That email looks horribly unprofessional coming from a company. He uses "wanna" a couple times, a couple spelling mistakes, and fails to start a new sentence/line with a capital letter.

If a deal is too good to be true, then it likely is...

paypal does cover shipping costs IF the complaint is "item not received" but if the complaint is "item not as described" or any of that bullshit then youll loose the shipping..... im sure he makes most of the money in the shipping ...... aftermarket **** rarely meshes well anyways.
i strongly recommend using paypal, i found out that as a rule, no matter what the seller listed as a policy on their auction, paypal rules over-ride the sellers rules!!! so for example if the seller says "not responsible for lost items" paypal says they are and will enforce that!!! .... i wouldnt worry too much about giving him a chance if you can use paypal.

but still.. they have not commented on the email I sent them a few days ago. Their reputation on ebay is climeing very quick on ebay. They still have the occational negative feed back, and thats what worries me. screw it.. I am not going to deal with them at all.
