Thumbs down BUYERS BEWARE OF TC-COLLIN!

There was a guy on here trying to sell some stock parts about a month ago by the name of TC-Collin. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS GUY, HE IS EXTREMELY SHADY AND IRRESPONSIBLE!!!

I bought an oil pan and injector set off him to get my car running after I took my turbo kit off. After we agreed on the price he said it would ship the next day...After waiting 10 days on what should have been a typical 3 day ship, I contacted him and he said he had been too busy to make it to the post office and he would get it in the mail the next day. At that point I politely asked for a refund since my car had been on jack stands for almost 2 weeks waiting for these parts. It has now been 2 weeks since I asked for the refund and HE HAS YET TO REFUND ME OR RETURN ANY OF MY MESSAGES!!! I had to open a Paypal claim against him to try and get my money back.

Bottom line, the dude is not trust worthy and apparently is not responsible enough to sell on here. So if that name pops up on the classified again you should avoid him at all cost because he is an extreme deadbeat of a seller and a loser at best.

maybe you shoulda posted this on the seller experiences section.. and also if paypal doesnt follow through with your dispute and he doesnt respond you can always tell your bank and they will get the money back to you

Don't know what's up in your case, but I had no problem with him. I bought the 2006 radio he was selling - it had a blue LED swap done, got it for $40 shipped. Great price, and I got it in just a couple of days.

Not sure either. I may have gotten the stuff eventually if I was willing to wait long enough, but once I asked for a refund he turned into a ghost.

I had to borrow a friends car to get back and forth to work while I waited for the parts. When I didn't get the stuff after almost 2 weeks, I ended up having to get oil pan from the Toyota dealer and paying some dude off ebay top dollar to overnight the injectors. So it ended up costing me four times as much money on top of the money he's not refunding.

I had the same experince with this guy I was buying the stock s-pipe he was selling the price was great and I waited 10 days and then asked for my money back and like you said he will not respond in anyway,So I got paypal to handle it and he still want to add some lame excuse about having "a family to take care of like" that would make stealing some how alright I think he was selling the few parts he really did have to more than one person and ripping everybody else off to (take care of his family)I for one most likely won't buy parts off here anymore.I tired of the hassel and other places don't screw you around they ship the stuff in a timely fashion like the next day or 2
