I send stuff to the not address all the time... Maybe I'm lucky?

Then again I have people gift payments 99% of the time

Same here

Most of my transactions are gift both buying and selling.

But I only do that with stand up members of the forum. If there is any hint of sketchiness, I make them pay the 3%, use the buy/sell mode and only ship to the address given in PayPal.

I also ask people to ship to a different address all the time (business or residence depending on the item), but I know I'm not going to screw them over. If the seller seems sketchy, I'll use buy/sell mode just to be sure I'm protected.

I was also going to say that I usually don't mind shipping to a different address because I have written back and forth with the buyer. PayPal should side with me as the seller

edit, sold 8/20/14

Ok help me out. Wtf am I supposed to do about this????????

"The mid links you've sold me are for 350z, not 370z.

They look similar but are not the same.

Anyway, not cool man. I'm assuming shipping you these back for a refund would be like asking the world to change.

Cheers."

So I had the SPL mid links on my car for like 6 months maybe. Then I sold them like what seems to be about a year ago or close to it on here.. Today I get that message.

What is he talking about? They installed 100%. They fit 100%. There is zero issue with anything with the mid links. The springs could have been better with a 7" vs a 6" but that's not what he's talking about. They don't have part numbers stamped on them so there's no way I could tell even if this was true. But what's it matter? They worked perfect for me. This isn't my fault. Something seems fishy!

synolimit · 07-19-2015, 08:45 PM

They also fit where the adjusters are perfect and within spec. And even the 6" spring sat perfect where the height adjust was dead in the middle at the height I wanted which was equal to where a swift spec R spring sat. so really the 6" was perfect as the 7" spring would of had the height adjuster 1" lower and not in the middle of the arm.

NeverBoneStck · 07-19-2015, 10:39 PM

That's almost a year ago. Tell him to pound sand!

theDreamer · 07-20-2015, 10:47 AM

Ask him how he came to the conclusion of it being for a 350z & not a 370z, did he have a professional do the install or just some guys in his garage?

njobe89 · 07-20-2015, 11:45 AM

i personally wouldn't refund it or anything. if it was a few weeks old or a month then yes, but a year, no way. if it worked fine on your car, no reason why it shouldn't work on his.

eastwest2300 · 07-20-2015, 01:25 PM

Tell dude to kick rocks...

OldFart · 07-20-2015, 01:42 PM

Altuough a year gone by, contact SPL and what the difference is between the two..

FPenvy · 07-20-2015, 01:53 PM

did he ever refund the other dude that paid for the manifold?

Seb and LJ from Specialty-Z are doing work on my car, I'm sure many of you here know (of) them, they know what they're doing.

They've contacted SPL and found out that those mid-links are not for 370z.

Regarding how long it has taken me to get around to installing them should not be used as an ok to sell 350z parts as 370z; regardless of what one thinks an OK ride feels like for 6 months.

So if both SpecialtyZ mechanics and SPL are wrong, those odds are small, but miracles do happen... I guess.
