Re: AHMAD3051 Kinda Flaky Seller
I just bought a used Master Cylinder from him as he advertised in the CL classified in the GS300 section and eBay as well. I chose to pay using eBay so I can get insurance from Paypal. He quoted me first $195 shipped then changed it to $155 + $49 shipping = $204 which he wanted me to pay for his ebay fees as well. I did and paid through paypal on the agreement to send by USPS Priority Mail. Now he is saying the Master Cylinder weighs 50 pounds to ship and needs more money. His shipping fees were $49 and now he want an additional $30 due to the item being weighed at 50 pounds. I calculated a 25 pound part to be shipped by USPS Priority Mail to Hawaii and it came out to $40.45 or so. It hard to believe the brake master cylinder weighs 50 lbs unless there are other parts not mentioned. He also does not provide any photos as he said he does not have any access to a camera. Then later he said the parts are still on the car and needs to pay someone $40 to remove. Too many red flags. How much does this thing weigh and what are the estimated dimensions? It's a good deal but not when the prices keep on increasing as you pay. Here is the eBay link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...3AIT&viewitem= I ended up getting a Paypal refund which he did quickly and also wrote "good luck finding a master cylinder for less then $204 especially since it retails for $2700 lol" to spite me. His ebay name is stuff4sale112 and sells many auto parts from cars to be junked. I am not saying that he is a crook, but just watch out when dealing with these kinds of sellers. Too Many RED FLAGS!

My car is at my local lexus dealer to have door lock actuators installed I purchased from him and they are telling me that the part he sent me for the rear door is for the DRIVER side rear not the PASSENGER side rear door. I still have to pay for the labor cost of them disassembling and reassembling the rear passenger to re-install the old, non-working part, not to mention still having the expense of obtaining the correct part and paying labor AGAIN to have it installed. I'm sure I mentioned in my paypal payment comment what I needed the drivers side. At the very least, I need to correct part plus the cost of labor I'm having to pay the dealer for having to disassemble and reassemble my rear door at a cost of $144.00!

i got my refund back from him via paypal. i won't comment on the particular transaction.
but he gave me his word that if i was not happy with the product, he would issue me a full refund. shipping was no problem and he sent me a tracking #. he kept his word, so i don't have anything particularily bad to say.

Well folks it seems that this situation is not over yet. Here is email history with this guy within the last 20 minutes....
Throughout this entire process I have been understanding. I just shipped your other actuator back today and provided you with a tracking number via fedex. I have no reason to cheat you, plus I'm the one that's inconvenienced! It's awfully coincidental that you ask me to close the paypal dispute BEFORE informing me that you sent me the wrong part AGAIN. If I send you the part, I have nothing to protect myself from never hearing from you again. If you want it back, send me my refund and I will ship it first thing in the in the morning and provide you a tracking number just as I did today.
