Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Common Interests Beware of this seller

I not here to slam pete or anyone
He did not pm me to see what the deal was!
I have all of my ebay emails between this guy and myself.

And I am not looking to FuC_ any one this is how I make money for my race car.

If you mess over one person then every one finds out.

I told the guy when he made the threat that I would never be able to sell on the wed if I did take his b.s. and meet some guy... did not feel right!

Look I have sold stuff to people on this site with out the protection of ebay for them... and have not screwed anyone!
If they read this they will come forward.

Pete I appreciate what you tried to do...god knows there's been enough people scammed just in our GB section alone lately. My only problem with this is that maybe you should've pmed him and asked what the deal was before you posted all of this. Maybe that way you would've found out that there was just some miscommunication or something and all this anger and flaming could've been avoided. Just my opinion on it.

I appreciate your attempt, Pete, to provide a "heads-up" to everyone, but man...there are better ways of doing so.

Next time, PM/IM the guy before you stick your feet in dicey situations like this one.

I don't want to take sides, here, but it is very easy to misinterpret events, and fill in the details.

Ebay is somewhat of a frontier, and there are just as many unscrupulous buyers as there are sellers. I have learned a few lessons, and have had to carefully craft some stock disclaimers to add to my listings so that I don't get screwed by some yokel who comes back and tries to cry foul.

Gsxr's grammar is not so good. That could really hurt him on ebay, as people are always trying to parse out your listing to take advantage of you.

Also, as I follow the link, it is very clear to me that I, as the buyer, will pay for shipping, and that if I want to know how much that will add to my cost, I can calculate it easily.

The rest could be chalked up to poor communication, or a breakdown in communication between two parties with whom I have no contact.

Certainly not enough evidence for me to take the buyer's side and start spreading gossip about the seller.

ok you all are correct(my grammar) I work and sell parts and dont have time to sit and be mister harvard I sell parts on the this web site ebay and a few others answer emails add looking at porn and cubs games and 3 girl roommates ...I just dont spend the time to be correct.
I type with one hand I have a broken wrist.
Pete I should not take that out on you don't know.
But I am like most of you, a guy whom loves cars.
I buy cars to part them out to make money.

I will go back to school someday and get a masters in english!

I don't think it's Pete's fault at all for what he posted. It seems like he didn't even know this guy was a part of these forums. I didn't anyhow, and from reading what Pete posted that's the impression I got. Posting the name/email address of the other guy involved is pointless. Pete wasn't asking us to solve this problem between them, but to simply give the name of someone who may have questionable business ethics, if nothing else. The name or email address of the other guy would have been useless information. I took what Pete posted as simply a warning, which I think it was meant to be. He didn't say anyone did anything wrong, just said something wasn't right with the situation.

proper grammar is taught in elementary school.
You don't need to be an english major to make a complete thought in sentence form.

If you don't have time for proper grammar, then you obviously don't care much about making money.
You need to convey your messages more clearly for your customers.
If you just slowed down a little bit and reread the things you write to be sure they make sense before you hit enter, you'd have less confused people nagging you to clarify.

If you're clear to begin with, it'd save you all that trouble of trying to clarify what you meant.
You'd probably put in less time rereading and fixing your initial comments than the time it takes to defend yourself afer no one can understand what you're saying.

Again, no one is saying you did anything wrong. Take a second and think about it. Someone posted that you POSSIBLY might have tried to cheat someone out of their money. Pete wasn't accusing you of anything. He posted what he heard from somewhere else in everyones best interests. You saw it, came on here and told us your side of the story. You don't have to go down in CEG history as anything, just relax. You say it's not the whole story? Fine, its not the whole story. Life will go on. Thank you for making clear what we were all confused about though.
