This is normal operating procedure for 90% of places that work on cars. Nothing will happen to anyone involved, but they might throw you a discount or something free. The fact that you did your research and called them out already sets you apart from most other vehicle owners. |

I'm just not that kind of vindictive person. I know the guy who straight up lied to me on the phone is the manager. The other dude always talks nice to me about how he'll take care of me etc. They definitely know who I am. Want to pretend to be my brother and call them for me? lol I actually reviewed them on yelp before I think. I also had an incident... I needed a new tire because mine was unfixable and I knew this (torn), and I bought one from them with road hazard. It got a nail and they fixed it no charge. Then it got another nail some months later and they told me I'd have to pay for it to be fixed but since I'm a pushover I just did it when honestly that's ridiculous. Why would I pay $15 for road hazard on the off chance I get a flat that's repairable when a patch itself is only $25? I looked online and it is supposed to be lifetime, not one time. But this was like more than a year ago. Now to change that Yelp review. I can't prove they overcharged me on the brakes but this is some bullshit... I can't really prove it either I guess, the guy could just deny it completely. It was over the phone and even in person I told him I'd be back in a few weeks for an oil change and he was like "OK as long as you know about the radiator" Last edited by reprise85 : 06-04-2016 at 07:52 PM. |

I posted an update but they have other reviews like mine that have been filtered out so I don't doubt mine will be too.

i ordered a used fitbit off ebay and got the package today, with the wristbands and dongle etc, but no actual fitbit. im hoping they actually find it on their desk or something. they didn't send it, but if they think they did they will prob get mad and think i'm trying to screw them. i just want what i paid for

What do those things actually do?
As far as I can tell, the people that wear them perform no exercise outside of their usual daily routine and simply learn how far they just so happen to walk throughout the course of a regular day. |

They track steps and calories burned. You can do nothing or do something while it tracks them. It's spits out pretty cool data if you actually use it while you exercise and sleep.
data. mmm. |

they don't have a ton of ratings, like 50, but i figured they were selling their personal fitbit. i only have 5. i don't buy on ebay often. I think eBay will be reasonable, or paypal I've done dozens if not hundreds of transactions without having a problem. I didn't get what I should have. The seller responded to me by asking if it was in one of the wristbands. It's not. I prefer the idea that is a dumb mistake and they'll find it on their floor but yeah, I know it's most likely they did it on purpose. |

Paypal is much better to buyers than sellers, so you probably don't have too much to worry about if you open a dispute.

The lady searched for it and came to the conclusion that they might have sent both to the person who got the gray one. She said she assumed it was in one of the bands and didn't check thoroughly before sending it. I am going to mail what I got back. This could have been bad but ended well. Yay for honest people. I'm only going to lose like $3 on the deal, and I actually already found and bought another one for $41.99 so in the end I'll be paying the same price. Thank god I didn't get a shithead who either 1) did it on purpose or 2) would refuse to admit they may have made a mistake and fought my claim. I already left them positive feedback. |

Cool, I'm glad you didn't get fucked. There are a lot of scammers out there, although most are buyers, I'm just glad some company took your word for it.

I've had some bad luck with ebay items shipped directly from China, but the good news is that they are usually quick to give a refund without wanting the item back. I got a delay pedal for free, and was able to repair it with a part that cost me 67 cents.

@ reprise: Here's the kicker: do you now feel like if you wanted to scam the seller you could have?

although once i had a guitar pedal shipped to me in a bubble envelope, which was after paypal refunded for a previous transaction where the first one didn't show up from a different seller. didn't want to cry wolf.

I have a lot of family who are super-scared of internet/bank-account/etc stuff and I try to tell them that the system is set up to protect you, the buyer. i'm also a member of an international record selling site and they've got tons upon tons of horror stories of scams. |

I really can't think of many problems I've had. Once I didn't receive some sponges I ordered from China or something, thru amazon. When I emailed them there was this long drawn out "this happens all the time international orders are unreliable we can send you out more in one month" I decided it wasn't worth $4 to do anything about.
I don't do much eBay stuff anymore but I don't think I ever had any issue with anyone. And I started way back in prehistoric days, like probably you slunken. When you didn't even have to have had a transaction with a person to leave them feedback. The wild wild west. I think once I had to send back something and it was like this, cost $3 return shipping and that's fine, shit happens and I don't expect the seller to lose even more money if it's a person and not a company. Not gonna sweat that. |
