i bought this on ebay for someone, so i could install it, and make some $$... seems to me i got scammed... how does it look to you guys?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayIS[....]pagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

i called, and left a message. I have a UPS tracking number, but it hasnt been picked up yet. and, he is no longer a ebay user... now what do i do?

maybe i am over reacting?

but now he aint a registered seller and may decide not 2 send ur item

Posted by EastCoastStar
there is alot of feedback. and they have a phone number and all...
idk what to do. wait? bug them alot? idk. look at all the neg. feedback too...

also, heres their website. http://www.stereoinstallparts.com/

he may have got banned for shill bidding or something like that cus then it shows up as no longer regd

Posted by EastCoastStar
@solid, really? I have been caught for shill bidding before. i didnt know it made u show as not registered! haha weird.

he has changed his ebay username quite alot too...

hopefully im just being paranoid.

Posted by solidsingh
your b eing paranoid i think, just chill and see if you get the package from ups

Posted by EastCoastStar
it was supposed to be here friday, and they already came today. when i call with the tracking #, they say it has been scheduled for a pick up, but the person sending it hasnt had it ready yet.
thanks, ill try to relax some

Posted by solidsingh
you have got it surprisingly cheap tho, in the uk you would be spending at least 700 on something of that spec

Posted by EastCoastStar
thats what i was thinking too. that is VERY cheap. so it made me wonder.
i dont live too far from the city hes selling from. maybe 50 Miles, so if i dont get it in a week, i will do some research and have a little trip maybe

nothing i can do with paypal to get this money back if its not legit can i?

Posted by scapevlocity
you'll have a hard time getting your money back seeing as he's not a registered user anymore. probably had all the money withdrawn from his paypal account as well. you'll get $175 back after a week or so, i think. and then the rest you'll have to wait a couple of months... that's if you never get your stuff.

Thanks for your help all.

i just got this email from them.

" I apologize, there seems to have been an error in shipping. I have talked to the guys there and a new shipment should be sent soon. I've kept the same tracking number to make things a little bit easier.
Thank you very much for your support, and please let us know if you have any further questions. "

so hopefully i will see it soon.
