Default Way to warn others of a bad seller?

How do I warn others of a person who used this site to sell defective parts? The problems with the parts were not disclosed to the buyer and the seller basically is saying the buyer is SOL.

Thanks

New or used parts? Was this on eBay?

Yes there is - besides letting a mod or admin know (which is important)... go into the classified section: you'll see this.... then click on "profile" - i highlighted it...

the next screen let's you leave feedback for a seller...

I am guessing you contacted the seller to see if you can remedy the situation??

His remedy was basically "SUCKER!!!".

Jerk only had one post on this site and that was the ad for the parts he ripped me off on. I could let people in his area know, but I think he no longer has a Mustang.

If the items were shipped using the USPS you can begin the process for "mail fraud" and believe it or not I have seen this work plenty of times.

There are all kinds of things this could fall under and especially if there are messages telling him basically “sucker” stealing by deception come to mind and like Sam said mail fraud.

The only way to buy online is through some escrow service like paypal, but paypal was bought by ebay and they only really look after protecting their power sellers and it is not what an escrow service should be. Any other time it just buyer beware, unless this is some long time member who is extremely active, even then how much money would it take to get them to disappear?

I once bought a set of black seat belts when I was changing the color of the vert, I paid got buys forgot about it and a server upgrade lost all the advertisements and pm, I thought I was out of luck because I didn't remember who the guy was but a month later I got a pm, he also forgot lost my info and found me in the lounge......so there are some honest people left.

Imjrk I would also like to see the pms/emails on this and have some info that I can give you in pm.
