It wont let me post in the classifieds but I wanted to put this out there so no one else gets burned. I purchased some tail lights advertised as "pretty much brand new" in this thread-
https://www.scionlife.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=204215

received them today after paying for them on the 21st of last month. There was no packing in the box what so ever. See the pics of what I received today and let the pictures speak for themselves.

Moved to Buyer/Seller Experiences.

Ouch, whenever i shipped any lights id cover the whole surface in blue painters tape to avoid scratches, then wrap them in bubble wrap, etc.

Some people dont care, some people just dont realize how bad packages get beat up during shipment.

I encourage you to use the iTrader feature for this as well.

Hey thanks for moving it for me, I guess I need more posts it would let me post any where in the classifieds section. I just want people to be careful on who they buy from.

It wont let me use the iTrader feature, it says

I hate how the itrader doesnt allow you to review without 50 posts. Its a major flaw IMO! But sorry about your experience. I hope you bring up a dispute with paypal as well!

caughron

Thanks. I wish it would let me iTrade as well but I just need to earn 50 posts I guess, kinda silly but oh well. My next stop is paypal...... hope it goes well.

I think the 50 posts is a good feature. While it does suck once in a while such as situations like this, its so that people cant just join and post negative feedback for nothing. Then it all has to be cleaned up and its just a waste of time.

Provide the pictures to paypal and see how it goes. Clearly that was not packaged well enough so it is the sellers fault.

caughron

Well I filed the paypal claim and they agreed to refund me, it just sucks I have to pick up the cost of return shipping to this guy considering hes the genius one to pack it like he did. If they pack it to where it gets damaged they should have to pick up the cost of return shipping in the refund but oh well at least I get some of my money refunded.

Also I wouldn't buy these tail lights if he tries to resell them here when he gets them back.....

I didnt know you had to send them back. Not really much point in doing that anyways, theyre pretty much garbage now.

caughron

ya just got word from paypal today to ship them back with tracking and once they see they see that they were delivered they will refund me. This guy could do the right thing and just refund me. I would even be willing to smash them on video so he knows I wont use them... but he wants to be a jerk about it and ship them back. Waste of my money gonna cost me about $20-25 bucks so Ill get $45-50 back after shipping them back.

caughron

I wrote him to ask him to pay for return shipping and he is just playing games and saying I should be the one to pay for return shipping.

Whatever you do DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SCAMMER!

Copy the receipt and send it to paypal along with the tracking info, see what theyll do.

caughron

Hey thats a good idea thanks I will have to try that. I would be more willing to pay for return shipping if it had been packed better or should I say packed at all. He just threw them in the box and that burns me having to pay return shipping for that.

Really sux when you lose time & money relying on others perception of item condition, not to mention the unacceptable shipping!

caughron
