I have had the misfortune to buy a bonnet for a friend's car from windowlicker007 on ebay. Not only did it take 10 days to reach me, when it arrived it had been badly damaged in transit. I have tried emailing the guy but so far only one response asking what I wanted him to do... that'll be collect the bonnet and refund please!!! Since then not heard a thing in over a week, doesn't reply to any emails... what a surprise Does anyone here know who/where he is and have a telephone number?

DON'T BUY ANYTHING FROM WINDOWLICKER007

I think with a name like that I would steer clear anyway! lol. Sorry to hear bout it though.. Did you pay via paypal?

Windowlicker is redinstead on here. Also goes my fiatcoupeman and a few other names on ebay.

I fitted a turbo for someone from the ebay account. It smoked its ass off, so much so and i felt so sorry for the owner i didnt charge for fitting.

Should have had this one Flea. Im never as cheap because my items are usually better!

When you say badly damaged in transit, under the o/s headlamp by chance?

I almost bought a turbo off him on here, glad I didnt now!

So he's on here as redinstead?!!! Right then, perhaps he'll be kind enough to read this and do something about it.

Do you know this bonnet Carl?

i bought a cat off him, which i insisted he checked to make sure it was in good condition, which he said it was. when i got it, it wasn't. but couldnt be bothered with the hassle of getting a refund. lives in stoke i believe. got his mobile number aswell if you want it?

He is breaking a Red LE? lots of stuff on there for one from him

Yeh the post that links him to the ebay account has gone.

He's chopping that 130k or so red LE bashed on the o/s rear and o/s front. Post has gone though. Disappeared. Amongst others.

It might also explain why he backed out of selling something to stan, and when I asked him if I could collect the turbo from him in person he said it was in Carlisle.

To be fair to him he did mention that the rear bumper I asked about was damaged so we both backed out, so to speak

I just don't understand why people are like this?! Before I paid for it I sent an email to confirm delivery and that it was "as described". He got back to me quickly despite being in Cyprus!!! Now there is a problem he has gone all quiet... it's so typical of poor traders

Quality detective work again on here! One to avoid methinks.

Ben

do you want his mobile number leighton?

probably not going to help much though!

Did you pay through paypal? If so start a dispute, paypal nearly always finds it in favour of the buyer so you would get your money back. Also raise a dispute in ebay. I find that normally helps in kick starting people into actually doing something.

Ben

Yeh pm his mobile if you can.

I have actually just had Paypal find in favour of a seller who f****d me over on an intercooler that was damaged but didn't mention this or show it in his ad. I hate paypal How do you start a dispute in ebay?

Wow first time I have ever heard of that happening with paypal!

With ebay, go into my ebay, and there should be a dispute console link on the left. Click on that and there should be an option for item not recieved as described, and take it from there.

Ben

try this on ebay?

The mods/admin will have redinsteads contact details or he wouldn't be able to post in the for sale/haggling section.

Find a wall, head down and forward and run at it

I have 2 open disputes with ebay at the mo, for non paying buyers and its just pointless, they do sod all about it, apart from charge me the listing fees

I think your right, I was watching some items for sale by fiatcoupeman (exhaust manifold for example) it sold and now the same listing is up again with windowlicker, I have emailed him for another item to see if I could collect but no response, got a response from fiatcoupeman which just said "w'haven", which I assume is Whitehaven. Not the most inspiring of replies.

Could be genuine reasons, but I normally dont buy from anyone if they dont reply to a question or if the answer is iffy.

Sorry to hear about your trouble and hope you get it sorted, ebay is a nightmare when it goes wrong.

Now I bidded on a oil cooler last week, was out bid on it. But I recieved an email from ebay's loss prevention department, to firstly avoid the seller, not to do dealing with them outside of ebay. Weird thing is, the listings disappeared, disappeared out of myebay, and the seller has disappeared also, maybe connected in some way?!

Just spoken to Redinstead who says he's not the same guy i.e windowlicker007 on ebay, but he knows the chap (called Mark) and will text me his number...

The Ebay help pages are all there for you to search... start a dispute and request his contact details, all this can be done via Ebay.

Well just spoke to Mark (aka windowlicker007) who said he would refund tonight...

Well done Flea! Its shame people do act like this, we have an excellent community on here and its sad that a few people can cause such problems...

well he would do, seeing as they are breaking the same car, from the same location

hi guys i just like to add that im am not windowlicker007 iam not in the same location but i have done some business with him which relates to the purchase of the speed red le.

obviously i cant condone this behaviour and passed his number direct to flea and spoke to mark personally this is the first i knew of this incident if there is any way i can help i will
i joined this forum to share my expierence of owning such a fabulous car and do break cars from time to time
myself, personally i would not and will not sell duff gear to anyone especially forum members

Erm Paypal are bent idiots had them remove money from my account after it had cleared and item posted then tell me off saying I should not ship till cleared despite the fact they cleared it!

I absolutely hate Paypal they are f*****g wankers

maybe we could have another lovely yellow banner.......?
