Title: Avoid this ebay seller! selling Fiat parts Post by: 106usj on August 31, 2010, 01:12:15 PM I am posting this to warn people on this site about this seller.
(motorman253) from Athens Greece. First.I dont care if the seller is on this site. Long story short ! I orderd this item New Fiat 124-131-125 Abarth Seat Alquati Weber Dellorto intake manifold on ebay on the 02 July 2010. I payed for the item on the same day.I waited weeks for the item to come and still nothing,after sending the seller various email's i was told by him he was making a new improved version and it would take another week or so.The weeks passed and still no item came.I sent many messages and recived no reply.So i had to take the case to ebay resolution centre i then had to wait from 6th Aug untill the 16th Aug to resolve as per ebays instrucsions.It was only on the last day the 16th Aug i recived a message from the seller as many of these seller's do, saying he had been unwell !! and he would send a refund.So i waited (AGAIN) many messages later to the seller, again with no reply's & still no refund.After telling the seller i was now going to contact ebay again and take case to ebay and escalate the case i got my ?210.00 back today the 31st September.This seller is rood enough to take your money and not even be polite enough to reply to you even when all my messages were polite to him. I buy a lot of Fiat 131 parts from this forum's members so i just wanted to warn you all.

Title: Re: Avoid this ebay seller! selling Fiat parts Post by: 106usj on August 31, 2010, 06:54:09 PM David i have been lucky also up till now on ebay.
3-4 years of buying on ebay and i never had any hassle and the first time i buy from an international seller on ebay this was my experience. At the end of the day i got my money back but just to warn people if your item is taking longer to arrive than normal and the seller is not responding. Dont waste time go (straight) to the ebay resolution centre. Title: Re: Avoid this ebay seller! selling Fiat parts Post by: stathe174 on August 31, 2010, 07:45:46 PM Yes you're wright about this. It happened to me many times. But not all Greeks are bad though... ;)
