Don't buy from FormulaLT1
I understand that this should be in the Classified Feedback forum, but that place is kind of dead right now. I got in touch with John through Ebay and agreeded to buy an aluminum LS1 driveshaft from him for $125 + $20 shipping. He sent me a PayPal invoice on 5-20-07 for $145, which I payed that same day. On 6-7-07 I had not recieved the driveshaft so I emailed John to see what the status was and go no responce. His Email adress was through this board so I came here and registered and seen that he hadn't posted since mid May. On 6-26-07 I filed a PayPal claim against him. He never responded to any of that either and on 7-7-07 Paypal decided in my favor, but was unable to recover any funds.
Fast forward to 1-6-08 I stopped by here and seen where John was active here again so I pm'ed him. He replyed asking for the Paypal payment receipt and stated that if the item was never shipped he sould refund my money no problem. So I get him the receipt and wait.
I finally pm him back on 1-22-08 to find out what is going on and he tells me that he has a tracking number and that he is trying to figure out where it went and if he needs to file a claim. He also asked if a business check or money order would be prefered for my refund.
Fast forward again to 2-5-08 and I still haven't heard back from him again, so I sent another pm. Basically I told him I was done playing his game and that he had a week to figure this out, then I was going to make this post to warn others. Of course I still haven't heard back from him.
I also searched his Ebay username that I first used to get in touch with him and found that there are two others that left negative feedback for John right about the same time that he never shipped my driveline. Both of them are for items never recieved. But I wanted to atleast warn others. If you come to this board John is the moderator on the feedback forum, has alot of posts, and seems to be a well liked guy. At the same time back in June, he basically stole $145 from me and stole money from two people on Ebay.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
