    Bought from Jason Sowers: Items arrived all defective

    I am very sad to report that I bought from Jason Sowers and the transaction ended up in a nightmare.

    In detail: He sold TWO S4 B5 auto-dim mirrors to me which were supposed to be in good working condition. I never saw pics before purchase because it was obvious.

    I received two autodim mirrors and BOTH arrived with frozen discoloured (dark golden) glas. Even worse one of them had something like snow particels all around behind the glas.

    Nevermind I put them on car for a test which is pretty simple. You just tape off the front light sensor and illuminate the rear one with a light. And EVEN WORSE with one of them the internal electronics module was damaged as well because the sideview mirrors didn't dim-off (what they did with mirror 1 and my personal old one).

    So all in all this was a total loss for me because I bought from Jason Sowers on audizine. And yes of course, he will pro-actively ask for "paypal friends and family" to save fees. Jason did not take responsibility for his fault till today although I was patient with him and gave him a chance to correct this issue. It's just my personal experience but it's a must for me to warn anyone what happened to me.

    Thank you for posting this.

    Because of this I got my money back from paypal from you.
    You said you never got the mirrors from me.

    The buyer scam is that he wants you to ship to "one of his friends in Texas". However, he lives in Germany. So the address you ship to his friend is unconfirmed and no tracking to the Germany address. It's quite a good scam. Here is the favor of the paypal decision screen shot. Thanks Jen's for saying publicly that you didn't get the mirrors and that your friend probably did send them to you and they got destroyed in the probably not repacked into larger boxes with more packing materials to make the trip over seas. They were insured in the united states for $100 a mirror. I am not for sure how you managed to fuck that up. Nice answering all 30 questions pertaining to a single mirror. Had you been local you could have sent them back to me and I would have sent you replacements. I have 2 perfect sideview mirrors that you want, I am not selling them to you.

    Total loss? No, You told me the your credit card reimbursed you as well as paypal. So you actually made money of the deal you crook.
