Default eBay Warning - Seller vhiarly1

Hey guys not sure if there's a thread for this - but beware of eBay seller vhiarly1 it seems he's been scamming and not shipping any IS-F products. The reviews for products for other vehicles seem legit but it seems he selectively scams anyone buying ISF parts. If anyone else has had this experience please chime in. coincidently my account was banned shortly after without any concrete reasoning despite appeals. fortunately I have another account I use for selling. eBay has done little to nothing to help.

Thanks for the heads up. Usually Ebay is very good with resolving issues with sellers. Usually Ebay is always on the side of the buyer.

This has been my experience as well. Interesting the buyers account was banned. There may be more to the story.

My thoughts exactly... something isn't adding up here.

Totally agree.... there has to be more to this story. Ebay doesn't just ban a buyer for no reason.

I had a bad experience with that guy. I purchased a few items from him via eBay. After three months of waiting, continuous lies and pathetic excuses for why I haven’t received my items, I finally requested a refund. eBay took another month or so to “investigate” the claim, I got my refund. So four months of waiting, I got nothing but headaches and EVENTUALLY, a refund.

I’m glad eBay took care of a problem seller!

I wish I seen this post sooner. I ordered from this guy on Nov 7th. He's been giving me the run around since day one. The items I ordered have still not shipped. He keeps saying it will pick up today, then tomorrow, then he'll drop it off himself. I'm going to try and get my money back now.

The eBay account now has zero listings… So yeah if you’re attempting to buy some
of this stuff from a seller in the DR, buyers beware..

His most recent reviews show similar trouble..

Also, eBay customer service should help properly investigated this issue for a refund..

And/or why your account is now mysteriously banned

We were messaging about a package deal that wasn’t listed and since eBay has ai scanning messages, he suggested connecting over email and that was picked up. My account that was banned was only a couple weeks old and had 1 buy. So if they already were looking into him for scamming people that def got on their radar. My normal/sellers account is fine. I messaged him from that account and he was saying the same thing about going across the city the next day haha. I just canceled payment through my credit card rather then wait for eBays resolution process which IMO is a lot faster and simpler.

I have an update. I did receive what I ordered and it arrived in good condition. Packaging was excellent. Tracking number never updated and just ended up showing up at the house. Good luck to the rest of you who ordered from this seller.

Joined this thread just to comment on this, as I found it when googling his username, I’ve also had issues and eBay has been no help, damaged lip when I received it, missing stainless steel hardware, seller was going to ship new hardware and some fender ducts which he offered on his own a no charge, 3 weeks of it’ll be ship this week. The 30 day return policy ended and he stopped replying. Multiple eBay cases and phone calls, “useless” I started a claim with my credit card company.
move also reported the account multiple times “per eBay” request. So don’t know if that has anything to do with the store clearing out, maybe he’s been banned?

Default Possible their new account

Thanks for sharing this, I've had some stuff from them carted for a long time. Glad I never went through with it.

This might be their alternate account: dominicano1017. They're the only ones who offer the exact same item (with the fog light combo too). Please correct me if I'm wrong as I do not want to slander them if they're legit

It's shame because they seem to be the only ones selling this front lip I was eyeing: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/194606011563

Recent negative feedback they received: "Worse ebay experience ever. From fake tracking numbers to poor quality"
