# PLEASE READ THE FINAL POST BY ME IN THIS THREAD ON AGE THREE. #
Ive ordered 4 pairs of tyres form him, the communication is terrible, and keep getting weird replies about finding me the customs number etc as to why I havent recieved them - , keeps saying he'll send extra tires in one message, then saying he cant find a record of my purchase in the next message - he sounds like a scammer to me - Ive spent about $200 on 4 pairs of primo amberwalls, his feedback is ok but the odd negative from people who never recieved ... you guessed it... tyres. Anyone else bought from him? Here's a link to his stuff....

Bought once, poor communication and overcharged shipping, item were OK though.
Wasn't there a bad thread about him on here or maybe on VBMX ?

Hope everything will end OK, Steve

He gets flakey press I think on OSBMX .

bmx museum is a good place to check out ebayers over there, they have a section on the forum for ebay feedback i think

HE IS A F*****G SON OF A B*******

DO NOT DEAL WITH HIM.

HE LIES. HE STEALS FROM FOREIGN BIDDERS. HE STALLS SO YOU CANT CLAIM. THEN HE LEAVES RETALIATORY NEGATIVES.

I'M SHOUTING? YES. I'M ANGRY STILL (from losing $189, and wasting countless hours dealing with that twat)

Footnote: I requested his contact details... rang him and gave him a chance to redeem himself. He gave me solid abuse and told me to do what the f00k i liked,as NOTHING could touch him.

BAD NEWS - STAY AWAY. Learn from others misfortune.

I'd get on a plane and pay the fooker a visit - bet you'd get no abuse from him face to face, maybe even report him to the local sherriff and get him arrested for theft.

well, still no tires, and have now escalated it to a full paypal claim where payapl decides the outcome - so he has no excuse if they decide its refund time as THEY do the refund. Will keep you posted.

Good luck mate. I'm having the same problem with another US twat called BOOMPIN. sold me peregrine's that are cracked and is now fooking me about. Just opened a dispute with Paypal if no joy this week i'll escalate it to a claim.

I have bought loads of stuff from the US and never had a problem. Now loads of us are getting stung. W@8nkers

dont think ive dalt with him

pkradman · « **Reply #10 on:** April 06, 2008, 10:05 PM »

i got a claim running with him at the mo , same story poor response and no sign of any goods .....

Nicfred · « **Reply #11 on:** April 07, 2008, 11:16 AM »

hes got a team mongoose for sale at the min,but sounds like i should steer clear

generallee · « **Reply #12 on:** April 08, 2008, 08:42 PM »

OK - so I escalated my claims and have taken out two full paypal judiciary claims against him for the two transactions , one for two pairs of primo v tracks, the other for two pairs of primo dirtmonsters. I also filed a dispute with ebay and immediately escalated that to become a report of a Fraudulent or Suspect Trader on ebay, which they are now inverstigating. Then guess what?
In response to the paypal investigation, I get sent a trackig number for each of the two transactions... I look closely, SAME tracking number for both transactions, so I thought 'maybe they would all be coming together' but to be honest didnt trust that it was even a real tracking number.
then - today a parcek arrives form him. It has ONe pair of Primo Dirtmonsters in - a token parcel to try and make my paypal claims invalid. So, I immediately rand Paypal Helpline, told them all about it, and they were very understanding, and said they would change my claims now to a 'item not as described or not in good condition', so the sneaky fooker cant get away with it. I wont let this drop, until I get my full money back, or my tires. There is still a chance paypal will decide against me, but if that happens I'll put it down to a lesson learnt never to deal with him again.
If any of you feel like messging the cheating, lying w*nker, then please do
he is US Ebay Member,
BMXDUDEMI ... a link to is ebay store is further up this thread. Just drop him a line to let him know the uk old school bmx community wont stan d for his sh1t.
Cheers for the rant fells, will update agian when I have more news!
steve
ps - madd dogg had a similar problem with him - he ordered just one pair of tires, tw@t sent them eventually after refunding madd dogg.. weirdo bmxdudemi.

Just read his feeback , he sounds like a right lying robbing cnut, a lazy greedy petty criminal. At what point do ebay sit up and listen and take action at serial offenders, it's fairly obvious he's a crook whenever he feels like it.

generallee · « **Reply #16 on:** April 19, 2008, 08:24 AM »

ok - latest update - the scammer sent me a parcel containing ONe pair of tyres... so i changed my claim frm 'item not recieved' to 'item not as described' ... then after paypal AND ebay contacted him requiring more information, lo and behold I get a letter from sutoms saying they have aparcel I need to pay £20 import duty on.. im not expection aything else from the usa so this will be from him... lets see if the tires are all there or not...
ive already reported him to ebay anyway as a fraudulent seller, and I may keep my paypal claims going to just to teach the cnut a lesson.
Will have the parcel next week... will let you know whats in it.....!

Hey Mark what about that rare Pre serial T/A I bought

Seriously though I put a post in Messers section about BMXDUDEMI

Thats decided it for me I ordered 4 Large flange hubs and this tool is obviously gonna leave it till I can't claim
Exactly same excuses as Steve said
I hate people who don't deliver their side of the deal when you've paid up

We'll see how it goes

jT Racing · « **Reply #18 on:** April 19, 2008, 12:49 PM »

20 quid? what's the cost of the tyres? sounds like a lot for a single item. oh, just found this
Example of Duty calculation
Goods 2 special edition "Hits of the 80's" CD sets
Value of goods £80 +
Transport to the UK £35

Total value for Duty £115 x 3.5% Duty = Total Duty payable £4.02

Example of VAT calculation
Value of goods £80 +
Transport to the UK £35 +
Duty charges £4.02

Total value for VAT £119.02 x 17.5% = Total VAT payable £20.83

Therefore the total import Duty and VAT charges payable on import of these goods would be £24.85

His feedback is shit.

generallee · « **Reply #20 on:** April 19, 2008, 09:21 PM »

its 4 pairs of tires at $40 a pair - thats why the customs charge is high ...

generallee · « **Reply #21 on:** April 25, 2008, 09:48 AM »

.... and the end to this story is.....

the w@nker backed down, and sent me my tyres including an extra set of primo dirt monsters AND a set of 24" NOs amberwall comp 3's too.
Perfect.
He only did it to try and save his ass with ebay though.
Still gonna avoid him in future.
Happy days!
