ripped off on e-bay by another max owner
I bought some sprint springs on e-bay about a month and a half ago. It was taking a while so I e-mailed him last week and he said " I shipped them but the post office wouldn't allow me to insure them cause of your address so I don't know what to tell you" (thats code for I never shipped sh@# to you so stop waiting) I have a FPO address and get things insured all the time! I just wanted you guys to watch out for "Pfleiger" when buying maxima stuff on e-bay. I guess I'm going to be driving a 4x4 this summer!!!

Maybe something did happen? File a claim with USPS.

I always try and save a buch...I guess sometimes you loose!!
I can't file a claim with USPS till he gives me the paperwork that he dosen't have (cause there is no insurance.
That's a good one.

I had a simular problem with a camera on e-bay but I contacted the local police and they went to the guys house. It turned out to be a 18 year old kid and his mom running a scam. they told the cop they didn't think it was a real address (?) but they excepted the money anyway. there are ways to get paid but I figured if he was on here he wouldn't want that kind of hassle.

I wouldn't give up on $20 that easily...let alone $100. I'd start by filing a complaint with Ebay and Paypal. If he has a Paypal account that accepts payments, that means it is tied to a back account. They can use this to track him down. I had something sililar happpen to a friend once and it took months to resolve, so it might be a bunch of filing complaints and waiting for responses before you get any $$ back, but at least he's not getting away with it. He's probably counting on people just giving up and taking it as a loss, but stick it to him!
