Re: [Chevelle-list] Dog dish caps

[Bill Bradley]

i've had "dealings" with some people on ebay that once they recieved payment that was it, end of transaction. on the other hand, i've had others send me the item even before i'd sent payment. ( i sent them a warning email about eventually getting burnt ) i've gotten items that were better than i'd have ever imagined for the price, and also gotten items that were one step above scrap. even after corresponding often and asking plenty of the right questions i've gotten high priced sCRAP. over all i like doing buisness on ebay, but like anywhere, there are scam artists just my 2 cents   Bill B. 67 Malibu Edmond Oklahoma http://groups.msn.com/SpidrManspics/mycar.msnw http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/chevellerestoration/ ----- Original Message ----- From: RMilkiewicz To: The Chevelle Mailing List Sent: Wednesday, November 19, 2003 6:45 AM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] Dog dish caps I wrote him before I placed a bid and asked him specific questions as to the condition of the hub caps. That's why I bid on them.I also wrote the seller twice after I had received the caps and he won't answer.

They were suppose to be NOS. They weren't. They had dings all over like they had been on the car for years. It's the first time I ever bid on anything on ebay and it soured me. The guy has very good feed back. Not one negative. That is until I send my feed back in. I tried to email him but he won't answer. The dog dish caps look great but so did the one's I bid on.
