So I didn't get a chance to come back an update the other thread, my apologies.
I hate to have to put this out there, however i'd feel bad if someone else had to deal with this as well...
I received a message from Qcfx2 (Max) in response to a WTB post I made about looking for a front bumper. He said that he had one off a 2014 that he wanted to sell for $250.00 "and will do it as soon as we arrange payment." This was the initial contact, and was done on 10/25/16.
I responded with another offer, to which he replied that he would also send me a 20" light bar along with the bumper, for the $250.00 he asked, with them being shipped to my local Greyhound station. This was on 10/26/16. The wording of his message was a little confusing to me, so I asked him to clarify what he wanted to sell, for what price. Max responded that same night (10/26) "$250 shipped for bumper and a 20" LED" and that he would send me pictures at my request. After texting me a couple pictures, I agreed to purchase, and asked where to send the money. Max provided his PayPal address at 9:14 pm, and at 9:18 pm i confirmed he'd received the money I sent.
The next day (10/27) I contacted Max again to clarify the shipping process through Greyhound, at which point he tells me "I have a new bumper coming in, once it's here i'll drop off your to greyhound." This was the first I heard about him not shipping what I sent him money for, so I asked when that would be. Max told me that it would be "early next week." I told him that was not going to work for me, and asked that he please refund the money I sent him instead. Max replied "no" to this, saying that he would now take the bumper off his truck, and take it to Greyhound Saturday morning (2 days away). Though not entirely happy about this, I decided to compromise with him and agreed to wait until Saturday morning.
Saturday afternoon (10/29). After not hearing anything from Max, I contacted him in the afternoon to make sure the parts were shipped out as he said. He eventually responded saying "not yet" and that he was "out and about" and would text me when it goes out. I again asked him at this point to please refund the money I sent, as I could see where this was going. Max replied to "be patient" and went on to say that "things got a little hectic" etc etc and that I could file a claim against him in PayPal. After several hours, I again contacted Max to ask if the parts were shipped out today at some point, since I had still not received a refund from him. Max would not respond to me, so after several hours of not hearing anything, I filed a PayPal claim for 'unauthorized transaction.' I've never had to do anything like that before, and apparently that's not the correct claim... so PayPal contacted me to update the claim to a 'good not received', which was done at that time.
Sunday (10/30) Max updates me that he "bought shipping material" yesterday, and has still not sent out the parts due to having to run errands for his wife. I asked him again (4th time) to please refund the money to me, since he was clearly delaying and not shipping what was paid for. Max responded that "we have a deal" and that he will "ship all this out."
Monday (10/31) no update, so I ask Max for one. He tells me that he will take it back to them (Greyhound) after work, but that they have the order in the system. Seems odd, but ok, at least i'm getting closer to having something for the money I sent. Later on Monday night, he tells me that it's been dropped off...
Today (11/3) I finally get to go over and pick up the shipment that has come in... however when I get the package... It's only a taped up bumper, no lights, no covers, etc. I immediately ask Max where the rest of the parts are that I paid for, to which he replies "in my truck, they wouldn't allow me to attach them... I'll end them out, but wanted to make sure you got the bumper." Ok, anyone with a 4th grade education can see how stupid of an answer that is, and that he's clambering to make something up to justify this nonsense. I ask him to ship the lights out as they were paid for, and I get a "Lol sure buddy."
This guy has been an absolute nightmare to deal with, and i've had to get on him several times as he tries to pull his bulls*#&.... Anyone that even entertains something with him is in for a real treat and constant headache. Now that I post this, I see that he's had plenty of other issues with people on here, regarding different things. Mods, this would be a good guy to get rid of like you did the company he was repping, he's giving your community a bad name.
Take care guys, hopefully this will at least help someone that is thinking of dealing with this idiot.
