Was it awhile ago? I haven't had issues in ages, maybe some years ago. They really cleaned it up. if you used a credit card or debit card and they don't refund at PayPal, you can always do a reversal also. I did that some 6 or 7 or even more years ago.

Ok this is the same person that responded to my request for a 72 Ford Pinto door in the wanted section. I was curious as he has never responded when I asked if he could send me pictures of the door and the condition of it. I googled his name and the pinto stats and found nothing on him. I thank everyone out their for the information and for the posting. I am blonde but the peroxide hasn't damaged me yet. 😄

Oh yeah, it's been a while! I bought that brown '72 Pinto sedan as a project just a few months before my wife suffered her stroke. That was eight years ago last week. As a result, my new position of caregiver kept the project from ever getting off the ground and I finally sold it January of 2013 and bought the Squire wagon (which is NOT a project) to replace it. All of the parts I was gathering up for that project, including the hood, would have been purchased prior to March of 2007. Truly, it is the only time I've ever had a problem with an ebay transaction. I always use PayPal; it just makes me feel a lot safer.

The same thing just happened to us on March 19th. We had an ad in the wanted section for two doors for a Pinto sedan. We asked for pictures and never got a reply. Thankfully when I searched the Club site I came up with all of these comments and that it was a scam. He had the exact same name and address as mentioned.

That sounds like a pretty good idea!
