[Mk2] [Generic] Ebay guy

Post by Will_MR2 »

I just bought carbon bonnet, rev 3 boot lid and border front bumper from this guy on ebay for a very good price delivered.

Anyone needing bits give him a shout and i think you will be surprised.

Lets just hope i dont get ripped off :pray:

Hi, noticed this thread and thought you might want to see this

http://pictures.autotrader.co.uk/imgser ... =647025750 - from a different car currently on sale on Autotraders website

i'd place the pic here but its not letting me use HTML code?? so click link

then check the picture of the interior in the ebay link.

Its identical, going off the guys feedback and that information i'd stay clear of this one.

Just thought you guys might like to know.

won't let you collect?!?!?!? =;

that sounds a bit off putting. pictures can never justify items like these as they never give a true representation of the finish. If i were you i would drive down and collect or leave alone, let him know this and see what he says if he realises' he is going to miss out on a sale.

its 110% dodgy. compare the pics, he's cropped the autotrader logo out and used that exact pic. also pics of the car dont have a red leather interior ;)

I just rang him offered to pic them up and still pay £80 delivery even though i was picking them up and he said no bosses rules. Then asked if i still wanted them as he has a couple people interested

Definately steer clear.... :? Most people would rather items were picked up as it saves them the time and hastle of posting...

All sounds a bit iffy to me.

I would let this one go mate, it just doesnt seem legit, from not accepting paypal to no collection (even though your willing to give him £80 extra that he would otherwise have to spend on delivery!).
Postal orders? what is that all about? as far as i know theres no come back on them, whereas paypal will fight your case if you lodge a complaint.
Your call tho.

THIS IS FAKE!!! Do Not Buy from him!!!

Im actually looking into buying that car and he is NOT the Seller!!! The Owner of that car lives in BlackPool that Ebay guy is in Essex!!!!

It says carbon bonnet, that bonnet isnt even carbon, its a Dark Flip Paint with a dent in it (I dont think carbon can dent :) )!!

Also The pictured interior isnt even from that car!!! That car has cloth interior and a Bride bucket seat in the drivers side!! Look close at the interior through the windows, theres No red leather seats in it, just a standard Cloth seat in the pass side and bride one in drivers...


DO NOT BUY FROM HIM OR YOU WILL LOOSE YOUR MONEY!!

If anyone has sent cheques or anything out to him, Cancel them!!!

Also, the Phone number of the genuine seller is different!!!

Someone PLEASE report this guy to Ebay. Its not fair on genuine people wanting to modify their cars who dont have infinitely deep pockets to get stung by arseholes like this.

I hope he gets what he deserves. [-(

Will - Please say you havnt paid for them :( :(

I have contacted the owner of the car to make sure he hasnt sold it, if not then hopefully he can get the listing removed. He has also had people using his pictures on Ebay to sell border bumpers that he didnt know about before

Im 99% sure its fake, the pic of the red interior is just taken from someones autotrader advert and if the seller said its a carbon bonnet then he is lying.
