    Seller is a f**cking crook. Paid for 15mm spacers and bolts and all he sent was an empty box! He put the wrong address on the package so I wouldn't get it. I sent the money friends and family so I doubt I can get my $100 back! This is the first and last time I send friends and family . Pissed off Beware!

    Interesting. He want's to buy my no hole's license plate bracket, been stringing me on for a week now saying he's waiting for payment for something he's sold. I doubt it. He's told me I could sell it to someone else if I get an offer but still, I think I will avoid selling to him. Thanks guys.

    Although it is you and your family repair is incomparable. There is a mix up in shipping, the buyer has to be repaid in full.

    I just got ripped off for $150 by this thief. Took my money for a part he had already sold and shipped to someone else and refuses to refund my money. I didn't know they were sold to someone else until I received a PM from the AZ member who actually did receive the pedals. I screwed up by doing friends and family, not expecting this. I wish I knew this feedback thread existed before the transaction!

    I don't even have this guys real name for contacting the police, just the name of the PayPal account which he said belongs to his girlfriend. Damn thief...

    I agree 100%. A known thief should be banned and not allowed to continue to sell through the site. I didn't see this section until a member PM'd me about it...

    I think we should post this thread in his for sale threads. I don't see anything wrong with that.

    If you wanna do it go ahead, I'll do it later when I'm on a computer.

    Sounds like a good idea. I'd hate for someone else to go through what I went through, or worse... I will as soon as I have a chance, if no one beats me to it first...

    I don't see anything wrong with it either. They are appropriate posts. I just added a buyer beware and a link to this feedback thread in all the sale ads for him that I was able to find.

    ****The moderators really should ban this guy. A known crook who is allowed to sell through their site could bring them liability as well....

    I'll admit, I had trouble with him too. I bought the Avant storage cover he had listed for sale. Negotiated price and sent payment and then things went dark. PM's were very quick until I paid. After I paid I waited patiently and no word from him. I started contacting once a day asking for tracking and got excuse after excuse (no box big enough, wife got wrong size box, etc). Then, I got a tracking number saying it was shipped out the previous day. The tracking number was valid but it had actually shipped out later than he told me. However, I DID get the cargo cover that I paid for.

    I wouldn't do business with him again.

    Also worth noting, he's got an exhaust for sale thread in the S4/RS4 section. I posted there at first not paying attention to who the seller was (in need of a rear valence, I am). Then, in doing a search for exhaust info I stumbled on this thread from 5 years ago:

    http://www.audizine.com/forum/showth...on-a-B7-A4-3-2

    Check out the picture then look at the exhaust he's got for sale.

    A reputable seller won't require you to pay through friends and family. I didn't, which probably explains why I received what I paid for.

    Sorry to hear. Not sure of the likelihood of success here, but I'd shoot an email/message to PayPal customer service and let them know that you must have accidentally sent the payment as "friends and family" instead of "payment", and that you're having an issue with the seller- "item has not shipped".

    I've heard of some people successfully having them honor Buyer Protection still

    Wow, I just found his phone number from an AZ post and a post on his Instagram. This led me to his name (has linked social media accounts with said phone number). Seems like he's been scamming for many years. Way more beyond just these threads as well...

    Relax.

    No one is getting scammed here I have two sets of rs4 pedals. Just been really hectic in my personal life. I've sold plenty of items here on the forums without issue. Tons of people have sent payment as gift.

    I've sold at minimum 10k worth of parts in the past few months. Ranging from volk wheels, recaro seats, RNSE units, etc.

    Also many people here know me in real life and can vouch for me. I've given away free parts to other audizine members when they were in need.

    Someone recently purchased a complete 18z brake caliper setup from me and we had some shipping issues with usps that ran on for about a month. He paid me $750 gifted payment and received a full refund prior to me even finding out exactly where the package was.

    I'll admit I haven't been as good with keeping up with communication as I typically am but real life issues trump forum life.

    I'll vouch for Malathion. I believe calling him a thief is going a bit far. He's not the greatest at communicating, but he eventually completes the transaction or will make you whole again. So while I wouldn't give him a gold star for customer service, I suspect you'll be hearing from him and getting your money back at the very least.

    I purchased the dead pedal set and received it about 2-3 weeks after payment.

    YOU SAY RELAX?!?! How about refunding my money?!?!?!?! YOU STILL HAVEN'T REFUNDED MY MONEY OR RESPONDED TO ME. You have also refused to provide me ANY proof that you have actually sent them, and have also refused to even give me a shipping date.

    Give me my money back... I don't give a crap what you have going on in your life, it DOES NOT give you the right to steal from others, and so far, that is EXACTLY what you have done to me.

    Someone recently purchased a complete 18z brake caliper setup from me and we had some shipping issues with usps that ran on for about a month. He paid me $750 gifted payment and received a full refund prior to me even finding out exactly where the package was.

    I'll admit I haven't been as good with keeping up with communication as I typically am but real life issues trump forum life.

    I just got scammed by this guy also on a $70 r8 coolant cap. Funny how he can cry about his personal life....Think your the only one with problems buddy. What a joke. HOW ABOUT REFUNDING MY MONEY. Someone ban this wuss.

    NOTE: Paypal has been contacted and they are looking into this guy and his girlfriends account. All AZ post threads that i could find along with other forum posts have been sent to paypal. Hopefully they shut this guy down.

    Wow not good, I was looking at some of the items he has for sale but wasn't 100% on them.

    Good luck getting your money back guys.

    And as above never use the friends and family if you want any sort of protection

    I purchased the dead pedal set and received it about 2-3 weeks after payment.
    I had pretty much the same experience with Malathion. I purchased the sline door pieces and paid friends or family. He was quick to communicate at first on the sale but then it would be 24 hours post sale communication. It also took him almost a week post sale to actually send the items out while almost every day telling me they'd go out tomorrow. I didn't threaten him or anything, I just chilled out a bit and waited and they showed up as advertised. Just sucks to not know what's going to happen. In the end it turned out to just be slow packaging, shipping, and communication. I also contacted some of the previous people he did business with while waiting and although he didn't rip any of the couple I talked to off in the end, he had less than desirable experiences with some of them because of the shipping and communication.

    Up until yesterday, I was being very understanding and nice with him. And he would keep telling me it shipped, but refused to say when and refused to give a tracking number. It wasn't lack of communication until I asked for my money back, then nothing. And after 2 weeks of him refusing to provide a tracking number and just saying it shipped, I requested a refund, AS HE OFFERED ME. Now, nothing.

    If I were you guys that got lucky and got the parts, I would consider yourself lucky, but that doesn't make what has done ok, or even legal. This guy is a thief, and has refused to prove me wrong. Is this someone you really want to vouch for?

    There is absolutely no reaason he has to take that much time to ship something out. If your in the business of selling parts you have to be prompt. I can see a few days to pack things up and prepare documentation if need be, but weeks.... come on. As for the communication aspect everyone and there dog has a cell phone, it is very easy to keep track and update product shipment status. He will update his forum posts but will not reply to people that gave him hard earned money. Great way to do business. There is really no other way to look at this. It has happened many times with the guy before and it is still haappening. Something needs to been done. We have every right to be pissed off

    Check out the picture then look at the exhaust he's got for sale.

    It's the same picture exactly. So unless he bought the exhaust from the guy that installed it on his car in 2011 there might be a conflict.

    I would run from this guy.

    I can't understand why the moderators haven't stepped in yet.
    Old enough to know better... Young enough to do it again, just getting harder to recover.

    Me neither. I have a message in to the mods, have not heard back yet, but just sent it last night to the correct AZ admin address, had previously sent it to the webmaster... I can't understand this either, and it is VERY disappointing. If they continue to do nothing... well then... we'll deal with that if it comes to it...

    I also sent a message to the admins. There should be no way in hell they can ignore this.

    If any of you have your credit card linked to your paypal inwhich you used for any transactions with this crook they will reverse the transaction to refuned your money. I wish they could bleed the dudes bank account dry and see how he likes being cheated.
