Default Am I being scammed? 4NLINE UNLIMITED??

I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong section, I figured itd get the most attention here.

I sent 775 via paypal for an h22 hytech header to htech user: 4NLINE UNLIMITED on december 1st and he claimed to have shipped it shortly after. Its now the 16th and Ive called him numerous times w/ voicemails and he has yet to get in touch with me...he claims to have vouches should I be worried?

I only ship my stuff through UPS for this reason, if he says he shipped it and he shipped it through UPS ask him for a tracking number. If he says he doesn't have it or they didn't give it to him chances are the dude is a scammer. Hopefully you can get either your header back or your money back but next time ask for UPS shipping w/ Tracking Number and or confirmation.

Its hard to say bro ive sent things and its taken a few weeks to get. Its near christmas so there a million people shipping. If he cant get you a tracking number, Then you may have a problem. But sometimes that **** can take ahile to get to you and its an oversized box. You can always start a paypal claim but there a pain in the ***

Well it finally came a couple weeks ago and as soon as I opened it I saw something I had not been informed of. A huge dent:



When I asked 4LINE UNLIMITED what the deal was with this, he replied with "Oh i didnt see that". After that he just stopped responding to anything I had to say...

Needless to say Im a bit mad, nothing I can do but be leary of this ***git

If the header cost the buyer $70, I can really careless about that dent (although at the critical part of the exhaust flow). However, this is $775 bucks that we are talking about here. Seller, please be fair and compensate the buyer for that damage.

That f-ing BS. "Oh... I Didn't see that" Bulls***. For $775? Wow. Watch out for
4NLINE UNLIMITED. What a F***ing *******. I would be kinda pissed. Kinda pissed enough to go and meet him...

At least give hime 1/2 of the money back I say. A refund of $350-400 acceptable. Especially since it took 2+ weeks to ship.

He prob sold you the header because, like he said, he had money trouble. I bet he could give a **** less if it was dented or even close to described condition. As long as he had his money, that is all he cared about. Now you get stuck with a $775 dented header!!

If you send that portion to hytech they do repairs, I have seen them do repairs from user damage in the past. Sorry to hear about the deal gone sour though

Seriously beginning this up again?
You knew the condition of the Header.
You said you were go'n to get it fix'd by Hytech.
I didn't know about the Dent on the inside of the Header.
in which im not go'n to pay you 400 Dollars for a Dent you found.
Im not Lying about be'n in a Financial Pickel which i still am.
That's why my Jeep&Civic are currently forsale.
I might be losing my son because of a Military TDY

...You realize it takes the same effort to sound moderately less illiterate, right?

Either way, if it's damage you didn't tell him about, refund him part of his money. Your own financial necessities are irrelevant to anyone else. What matters to them is how well the product you sold represents the product you convinced them to buy. Good luck with resolving your financial issues and I hope you manage to keep your son, but you need to maintain your responsibilities as a seller as well.

Default Re: Am I being scammed? 4NLINE UNLIMITED??

to be perfectly honest man, i dont care about your son, nor your ''situation''.

The condition of the header as I knew it before the money was sent were only as far as these 3 pictures





As you can see, none of those pictures show the dent so theres no possible way for me to have known the condition. The dent was never mentioned either throughout all of our PM's. What I was ''go'n to get fix'd'' were the 2 slight dents on the downpipe.

I find it nearly impossible to believe that you ''did not see'' this dent prior to packaging it and shipping it. esp since one of those pictures the header is in your hand.

I also have a hard time envisioning how such a dent could be put there. The only thing that comes to mind is intentional vandalism because I chose to expose you to the rest of h-tech via this thread...which leads me to another thing thats pissed me off; why is it that youve ignored countless phone calls, emails, PM's and IM's from me but only raise your voice on a public thread?

Seriously, **** You!
&your excuse of calling my phone is BS which my phone is no longer in service.
So how can you call it?
&i repeat again, I did not see that dent YOU picked out w/ your Camera on your Header.
Sorry for the Harsh Words.
