HEY EVERYBODY, look at my new fuel pump!
 

So I bought this off of tuners from a guy who asked me to send him money through paypal, but as a gift and not goods so he wouldnt get charged a paypal fee..

So I did that and today in the mail I got a STOCK fuel pump. haha AWESOME! try and steal 50 dollars from a kid... worthless d bag. I cannot see how anyone can mistake a stock fuel pump for a walbro. He even gave me the stock filter too! What a nice guy!

Anyway I was wondering what I can do from here? I have his "address" but who knows if that is correct or not...

Thanks in advance,

Colin

You might be able to get it back if you contact paypal otherwise I would just post the same thing on tuners or tell a modorater and have him booted or something along those lines...

Re: HEY EVERYBODY, look at my new fuel pump!
 

File fraud with Paypal.

Re: HEY EVERYBODY, look at my new fuel pump!
 

He cant do that cause he sent the payment as a gift.

Re: HEY EVERYBODY, look at my new fuel pump!
 

Yep. As much I hate so many people scam that way. Never send money for goods through gift. You can contact paypal but I'm 99% sure they won't do jack about it because its your fault for sending that form of payment. Best thing to do would be to let the mods atleast know so he gets the ban hammer.

Re: HEY EVERYBODY, look at my new fuel pump!
 

Hell a stock fuel pump is like $525 from Mitsubishi. You came out pretty good on this deal. :)

Re: HEY EVERYBODY, look at my new fuel pump!
 

Yeah, Your pretty much screwed on this one. We can all drive to his place with a bottle of Windsor and beat the crap out of him til he gives the right pump?

Or return the box with a big dookie in it from you and your new puppies?

Re: HEY EVERYBODY, look at my new fuel pump!
 

I like that. Maybe I'll go eat some greasy food and shit in a bag and send it back to him.

PS who rips someone off for 50 dollars.

Re: HEY EVERYBODY, look at my new fuel pump!
 

What a loser. I like the idea of mailing shit in a bag/box to him. Drink some beer and throw up in it too for good measure.... haha :beerfunnel2:

Re: HEY EVERYBODY, look at my new fuel pump!
 

Scammer got scammed ;) If you didn't try to cheat an honest business you would have recourse.

Re: HEY EVERYBODY, look at my new fuel pump!
 

^more info please.

Sounds like the Dbag thats on base down here at sill. he is a true E-thug too.

Re: HEY EVERYBODY, look at my new fuel pump!
 

Just run it at 40 volts.

Re: HEY EVERYBODY, look at my new fuel pump!
 

He is from New YORKKK

Re: HEY EVERYBODY, look at my new fuel pump!
 

I assume this is about paypal. Fuck paypal they get rich and eBay already owns the world...

at least the part that sells things.

Re: HEY EVERYBODY, look at my new fuel pump!
 

As they should for providing a popular we all use nearly daily. I'm sure had you done your business honestly (costing an extra $1.50 that the seller could have eaten instead of you so really not affecting you at all) you would be able to get your $50 back. Just be glad this was on such a cheap item and nothing more expensive. Not trying to be a dick...but it's the truth.

Re: HEY EVERYBODY, look at my new fuel pump!
 

that is why I make everyone cover paypal fees.

Re: HEY EVERYBODY, look at my new fuel pump!
 

I totally agree with this one. I have been sick for the past couple days, so if you need a more fluid approach to this let me know :) I wish i had the address of everyone that had fucked me in the past, they would have each gotten a days worth of poo delivered every day for 30 days straight.
I would start off small. Placing a peice of poo in a jewelry box, then bring up the tempo with an explosion in a box, Then i would buy a magazine and poo between the pages of each page and send it... The Grand Finale would be a refrigerator box filled with mine and all of my friends, and all of the local port-o-potties poo filled to the brim and sent in a freight truck.
But thats just me... :sasmokin:

Re: HEY EVERYBODY, look at my new fuel pump!
 

Hey now, he didnt really know. sure he cheated paypal, but im sure at the time he didnt think that he was going to get fucked out of the correct part. Take it easy big boy.

Re: HEY EVERYBODY, look at my new fuel pump!
 

In all seriousness though. Paypal and eBay fuck people over everyday. They charge list fees, then final value fees then they charge you to use paypal.

I didnt know that sending it as a gift would render my seller protection useless. I was trying to be a nice human being. Alas, the person who sent the wrong pump should be casterated.

Thanks,

Re: HEY EVERYBODY, look at my new fuel pump!
 

What you should have done is offered to pay the fees. as it would have only costed like $2.50.

Re: HEY EVERYBODY, look at my new fuel pump!
 

Have you tried contacting paypal yet? If not, do it. You can't trust anything you read on the internet. What has been posted in this thread is amazing to me. It's kind of hypocritical to rally against things like taxes yet fully support myriad fees from sites like ebay and paypal. Doesn't make sense. Just trading a government for a corporation.

Do what you can, call paypal and talk to a person, and say they convinced you to use the gift feature, which you didn't understand quite why until you got the wrong part. They might be able to help you out. Good luck.

Re: HEY EVERYBODY, look at my new fuel pump!
 

Thanks man for the advice I was looking for. I was planning on contacting them. Just wanted to see if anyone else has gone through this experience. Not just that I shouldnt of gifted the payment, because I obviously know this as of now.

Re: HEY EVERYBODY, look at my new fuel pump!
 

Exactly. Fuck paypal.

Try to get your $$$ back through paypal and/or join up on the local DSM forum there to see if anyone can help you.

Re: HEY EVERYBODY, look at my new fuel pump!
 

Paypal is disliked by many merchants because they tend to side with the customer. If they find out someone is abusing the gift feature like that then they're likely to inflict some hurt.

Re: HEY EVERYBODY, look at my new fuel pump!
 

Excellent point. LOL

Re: HEY EVERYBODY, look at my new fuel pump!
 

Not even close. The government takes blindly whereas Paypal in this example attempts to take only for the service(s) used (like a toll road).

Re: HEY EVERYBODY, look at my new fuel pump!
 

The government takes to pay for Roads, Bridges, military and pay for all of the programs you use on a daily basis. No one likes taxes, but if there werent taxes we would be a lot worse off than we are. Price for freedom. If you would like it more like a "reputable" company like ebay and paypal, than you are suggesting that the government charge per mile of highway/roadway you drive, Charge for each time a "terrorist" is killed, and charge for every time you want a loan. Which yes they do, but they do it on a level that requires a lot less employees.
Toll ways are usually owned by a company and not a government, such as the toll roads in Orange county are owned and operated by The Irvine Companies, the toll ways in Colorado are owned by another company.

Re: HEY EVERYBODY, look at my new fuel pump!
 

I understand how tollways work, I use them daily. Profitable companies are forced to be efficient, governments are not. Imagine how much cheaper postage would be if the government lifted the monopoly USPS holds; competition would force the USPS to become efficient or cease to exist. The way it sits now they just have to go ask congress for more money, and now dropping a delivery day.

Re: HEY EVERYBODY, look at my new fuel pump!
 

41 cents? LOL Damn i think im going to go bankrupt. Unless your talking about larger items, which then they dont have a monopoly: UPS, FedEx.

Re: HEY EVERYBODY, look at my new fuel pump!
 

44-cents actually.

Re: HEY EVERYBODY, look at my new fuel pump!
 

omfg!!!!! Your kidding!!!!! Holy crap, sound the horn get the tea baggers the government is taking over!@!!!!!@1111

44 cents pretty much covers inflation. :)

Re: HEY EVERYBODY, look at my new fuel pump!
 

Just making sure you're informed enough to get the facts right.

Re: HEY EVERYBODY, look at my new fuel pump!
 

You two could manage to change any thread into a political battle.

Re: HEY EVERYBODY, look at my new fuel pump!
 

Actually, USPS is broke.

Re: HEY EVERYBODY, look at my new fuel pump!
 

Yeah but why does that matter? You don't need facts or experience to form an opinion at all. You said that yourself a few months back regarding the whole muslims in the military. haha :)
