I had my f/s thread for my drag downpipe in the forced induction classifieds. I ended up putting this up on ebay. After the first day this guy solicited me through ebay messages that he saw this on Honda-tech and didn't know how to email me. My email is not disabled on my profile so anyone can email me. I told him the total price, then he agreed so I sent him a Paypal money request with the discription of the Drag down pipe. He paid through his paypal account showing his shipping address. The same day he paid me I shipped the item through UPS at a Staples shipping center. I emailed the tracking number the same day but it was already about 7pm PST. I emailed him back saying it probably won't be in the system till tommorrow. I get home around 9pm PST and check my emails and see that there will be a problem if he doesn't get a response back. Mind you this is only the end of the next day since I shipped this out yesterday. Then I proceed to check other emails and findout he's filed an unauthorized access to his Paypal claim.

Here's a copy of the email:

Either way I have proof of his solicitation, proof he agreed to send me payment for the amount I am requesting, proof I sent a money request to the Paypal account he provided to me, proof that he paid the money request, and all the reciepts from Staples that I did ship this item.

Because of this claim I have to wait 2 weeks for funds to be released. If you check my post history I have dealt with numerous transactions, some over $4500.

I understand doing internet transactions how one can be concerned, since I've been scammed out of money too, but this claim was filed too quick, so I call BS and possible scam alert. I'm concerned I will not be seeing the money released and my downpipe back! Kou Lee watch out for anyone by this name in doing transactions from this person. He could well be a Honda-tech member, scum bag .
