Glad to see that Paypal is moving in your favor, Good Luck man.

and I agree with you... but **** happens and all we can do is deal with it.

Unfortunately, things aren't going in my favor yet. but they are moving forward. he has till Dec 3rd to respond.

Hope it goes well Pooya!

Thanks Gavin! I hope so too...

The guy shipped the exhaust and I have the tracking number. I called UPS store and he charged me twice as much for shipping but UPS guy told me the exhaust is in there.

Sweet. Hope there is nothing damaged.

Some people just need gentle persuasion.

You just have to time it right. Like when your mom used to count to 3 before throwing the shoe at your head.

I usually got the "put you over my knee and spank you" punishment from mom when I got in trouble. If I got in bad trouble dad came in with the belt after work.
Closest I got to dodging it was when my mom spanked me and I put a hardcover children's book down the back of my pants thinking she wouldn't notice when she spanked me.


Anyways... Pooya, need an update brotha!

Lmao that's funny... I've tried something like that too but usually gets them going more


Anyway. PayPal closed the case because tracking shows delivered. I picked up the exhaust, there are no bolts or nuts. Main problem is a huge scrape on a muffler which I was not made aware of. Part of me wants to just say **** it. What should I do?

[birdman71]

Lets see pics of the muffler scrape and then you call paypal and let them know that even though the claim has been closed the product was not in the condition as it was described and sold to you, nor was it brought to your attention or disclosed at time of sale.

The nuts bolts and gaskets you can call Kevin at Fast Intentions and he should be able to give you a deal on them.

What I don't want to deal with is shipping it back. There you go:

[jsutton2]

Buff and polish that out and see how it looks. And... It's under the car, so function > looks, unless your building a show car.

[JARblue]

That's pretty major damage to have not been disclosed prior to sale. If there were no pics and you didn't request them, that's on you, unfortunately. If he shared pics without showing the damage, that is outright deception.

But if you are happy with the price you paid for the product you got (regardless of how the transaction went), then I'm in agreement with jsutton above. Buff and polish it a bit if you want, but you'll never see it without getting down on your hands and knees.

[birdman71]

The scrapes do look pretty bad but I agree with both of them above

Bolts/nuts not in the box



He did send me videos but nothing showing the scrapes or dings in the cans

This is the photo he had on his ad. Now that I look at it, I can see parts that may have been edited out poorly with photoshop

[birdman71]

Cool Now you can open a new claim regarding the condition and keep the money and the product as well

I'm sure if we get an opinion from one of the photoshop gang that can vouche for some use of the photo editing kind. Wasn't this the guy that was selling them for like $850 and said it came off of his girlfriend's Z or some bs?
