Receipts? I know there has to be a paper trail on the parts replaced.

Sorry dude. For example..

If I was selling you a product, and I sell it to you "as is" and it fails on you, then your on your own. If someone can correct me on this, but I believe paypal will only ensure that the seller gets paid and and item(s) ship out. That's it. I don't believe paypal will honor any kind of warranty or reimbursement from defective merchandise. Does that make any sence?

Yeah if the product does show up and is crap, you can file a complaint with Paypal,but if the seller has already extracted the funds then paypal cant do anything about it and 99% of the time you end up screwed.

Don't do it! especially if you are buying from someone from a state or two over. They will lie you you and could care less. Buy it yourself or buy from a local person that way if it is faulty you can take it to them especially if it is fake . Don't get ripped off. I can build a head off of ebay parts and claim anything and you wouldn't know.Justlooking out for you!

If you were going to get it regardless of what people advised you then you wasted everyone's time.
