His reply on 3/31/06: "yes, i will get to it tonight i have to work an double in a few minutes! so please send the money through paypal and i will get that stuff out to you asap. thanks chris"
His reply on 4/5/06 when I asked status: "i havent been i muskegon in a couple of days the wife said that she sent all the stuff that i need out? will you give me your address to make sure she sent it to the right place. thanks chris"
My reply to that on 4/5/06: "Sure....

If she hasn't, I may need to get it overnighted from someone else, so if you can please verify for me."
No response to that, so I send on 4/7/06: "Any verification from the wife?"
No response, so on 4/10/06 I ask: "Hey man, I haven't received anything yet, can you verify HOW it was sent and WHEN?
If I don't get it in a couple days, I'll need to buy it overnight from a remanufacturer. I can't have my car down this long, it's costing me daily."
He replies to that on 4/10/06: "you should have it by now, i have the # at work in my box i will run there reall quick and make sure it is there. will right yopu back soon"
I wait a day and a half, so on 4/11/06 I file a paypal dispute and send this to him: "Just to let you know, I have filed a dispute with Paypal for non-receipt of goods.
I hold no ill-will, but I will not pay for goods I never got. If they do reach me, I will at that time gladly pay you (odd thing is, I still want the transaction to go thru as we discussed).
If you find it is simply because you have been too busy to send them yet, them please be mindful of this when making a deal with someone.
My point is that I thought I would have my car running by now and I have yet to even get my parts. I am just disappointed more than anything.
Take care,
Josh"
So on 4/21/06 I get this from paypal (since he never bothered to respond to paypal, I had to wait the full 10 days): "We have completed our investigation of this case. We attempted to process a refund from the seller's account to your account. Unfortunately, the seller's account does not contain the funds necessary to cover this refund. We were able to recover $0.00 USD. We have taken action against the seller and are working to recover the remainder of your refund. We will contact you when we have more information. No further action is required of you at this time."

What irritates me the most is that he knew I needed the brakes to get the car running and I was paying for a rental.. daily. Then the "wife" excuse got me worried. Plus on 4/1/06, I wish I had read this thread about him taking 10 days to ship a part....

Them's the facts, backed up by PM's if anyone wants access to my account here to verify.
