@Frybrid 524td - Bought a heater valve from him and he was super responsive and shipped quickly (even refunded excess postage)!

I would buy from him again!

[wkohler]

Bought an item from D Unit. It arrived as advertised and was shipped quickly. Thanks.

[ahab]

Bought a used set of Cibie H1s from greggearhead. The headlights were exactly as described and gave me a great deal. He shipped quickly with automatic FedEx updates, and packed it exactly the way you would want headlights packed. Thanks Greg.

[pmorg98]

Bought a heater valve from Blackcobrajay and he shipped it incredibly fast and the part is in excellent condition. Very satisfied.

[bigwave]

Just picked up an excellent condition M5 shift knob/natur boot combo from e_schauble. Great seller with good communication and an honest description of item. Thanks Eric

[tig]

Bought a crack free dash from Blackhella. His communication was top notch. He packed it well. It arrived here from there in fine condition. Will buy stuff I don't really need, but want, from him again!

[gray635]

JLav211 - I bought a set of front speakers from Jeff. Excellent communications and photos. Stuff promptly shipped, carefully packed and as described. A+ deal.

[muleskinner]

Bought a set of euro lights and had a good transaction with doyfola.

I have a problem with a buyer on ebay, pennybond . I sold a BMW headlight lens, the auction number 161993886691 . This is a new lens, with many pics, with a pic from the reference and I specify at the description, Fits on right or left side, but verify the rear screw if it's the same than your car. If you have more questions, please ask.
Now, the buyer is threatening me, because he wants the part for free. He wants the refund, but not to return the item. He gave me a possitive feedback on mars-25, ebay and paypal have verified that I have reason
I'm also a buyer, and I think that we have to verify if parts will fit our car before purchase, because the seller don't know the car of all buyers. I accept the return of the part and I will refund the money from the auction, but, why I have to pay for it? Why I have to loose money?

Here you have the same pics from the auction,

Special ordered a set a nutria dyed leather seat covers from Zoomzoomzoom-ing (Steven) on ebay. I decided to go with Steven because he has experiance making seat cover kits for e28 and e30's. I provided him with a sample nutria color swatch which he matched perfectly including the grain/texture (see photo bellow). I pulled the trigger and within 10 days recieved the seat kit at a cost of ~$1000. Everything arrived intact and packaged well. I ordered two cans of nutria dye for the plastic bits on the seats. Covers look awesome so far. Everything looks 100% original. Premuim quality. I will update once I have the covers installed. Probably wont be for awhile as I am tied up with an engine swap and suspension rebuild, but I will check back with photos installed.

Thanks for the review, I'm sure a bunch more people will make a request after seeing that. Looks great.

Beautiful work on the threshold on your floor too, that's a tight seam.

Pennybond- or even dogabon: consider listing that light for sale again, market it as being in the US so no customs/heavy shipping. Maybe somebody here stateside would be happy to have it and would save some $.

[dcains]

rmehrIV - excellent transaction with Raymond. I bought a steering wheel. and it was exactly as described. well-packed, and shipped quickly. Thanks again.

[tim8oland]

I recently bought a set of EURO Chrome Bumpers from (USER ID: dogabon) - aka Felipe

Link found here: http://www.mye28.com/viewtopic.php?f=4& ... r#p1369981

First off, WOW - amazing guy. What you see is what you can expect to receive.
His attention to details and packaging EVERY single part individually really made it feel as if I bought brand new parts from a dealer.
I enjoyed unwrapping each part - piece by piece.

Parts were clean, exact to the pictures and genuine BMW.

I highly recommend him to all.

[Neil22]

Sold euro bumpers and a hartge rep front bumper cover to Enian009 Transaction was seamless, he made quite the trip down the east coast from NY to VA to pick everything up. Thanks Enian!!

[Ordnator]

Recently acquired a complete plug and play electric moonroof from Frybrid 524td. Parts were exactly as described and very well packaged for transatlantic shipment of fragile items.

Brendan went above and beyond in his effort to keep the shipping costs to the UK as low as possible which is greatly appreciated.

Communications were prompt, clear and accurate.

I wholeheartedly recommend this seller to other members and would purchase from him again without hesitation.

Thank you Brendan.

Regards,

Mick

Recently acquired a rear view mirror with map reading lights from wkohler.

Chris was kind enough to ship it to an address that I was using in Florida while on holiday from the UK.

Parcel arrived quickly, was well packed and communications were good.

Thank you Chris.

Recently aquired a front body piece from South26. This is the body part that the hood latches and upper parts of the grill fasten to. He had to cut it off a car.

I guess I was expecting to much for a used part but somehow, I thought I would receive a part that had not been smashed in an accident, bent up and filled with filler (not a good job at that).

This thing is so mangled its incredible. Even more incredible is the fact that he thought this was ok to send to someone in an effort to make a buck.

Tony, if I sent you an item that you are not happy with contact me and send pics of the what you are talking about, I do not just send parts to make a buck as you put it. If I missed something I am sorry, but I did not notice any filler, or bends beyond the slight bends that were made when cutting it off with the angle grinder.

Andy has an incredible reputation on here and if you have an issue with a part you purchased from him, contact him and he'll make it right. Do that before coming on here and saying bad about someone before giving them a chance to fix it

It is a Buyer seller feedback. i did not say bad. I said the truth. Now, if the parts just had minor bends from cutting them off, his idea of minor bends are much different than mine. I will post pics of the parts and you judge how minot they are.

EventuallyAyrton, go back and look at some of your bonehead posts before advising me on what to post.

So at this point in time you have called me out for something I missed, fine, could have just sent me pictures and asked to replace part and I would have, but anyway. Then I have offered after seeing the pictures to send you another one free of charge, you are still not happy? Yes I admit that I missed the filler and the part was not as it should have been,I missed that not sure how but I did. I have no problem with saying I screwed up, so what do you want?

Yes I called you out for something you missed. I left a buyer seller feedback. I thought this was the purpose of this thread, unless of course, we are only supposed to post positive feedback.

http://s1275.photobucket.com/user/taeil ... ndy%20Crap

Look at the photos, I guess I can see how you missed the damage and the filler. my apologies.


My email is my paypal. Please refund my money as I do not wish to receive another part like this.

Not a problem. You would not receive a bad part again since I offered to take pics of the new part tomorrow before shipping it on Monday on my dime. I am not sure why all of this had to be done out here and you did not response to my pm or me email.

Hi Tony, I have no idea how I missed that, I can cut another one tomorrow and ship. If you can send your text I will send pics tomorrow so you can see the part before boxing. Once again sorry about that.


Andy

Also would like to bring up that I in the beginning offered to cut the part and mail it for 80. You are the one that approached me and never gave me any insight as to why you wanted the part except no one else had offered to do this. I did not ask for the full amount you were willing to pay (but you did sent it, which made you ok in my book) As I said in my email, I went back to the car and took off the fender and the rubber surround and learned that yes it had been hit and that no I had not noticed it. I understand being unhappy. Good luck finding the part.

Andy,

Look at the title of this thread: "Buyer/Seller Feedback Thread. Post your experiences here". I am doing as the title of the thread states.

I do not want another part because I do not normally go back to a vendor after a bad experience, even though I have been refunded my money.

I contacted you because of your "Reputation". I now realize that I should have not trusted your reputation and should have specified that you not send me a part that was rusted, twisted, mangled and loaded with filler. My bad for expecting a decent part.

Just send me the money please as people on this board contacted me asking if I needed this part after I originally contacted you and there are others who have viewed this waiting to hear from me in regards to supplying a part.

If you would like this piece of metal returned, send a call ticket and I will send it back.

Thanks

Tony

[south26]

No Tony you keep it. Not sure why you are so hostile since I have admitted I made a mistake after going back and taking a closer look at the car and removing parts, but that is your call. Money sent. No worries.


Andy

[Tony533i]

Andy,

I can understand why you would not want it back.

Thanks for the advice message in the paypal payment. Thats why I posted here first. it ensured that I would get a refund.

Payment received.

I dont know why you think I'm being hostile, i apologized several times.

Thanks,

[Spen]

Hey, at least Andy stood behind his sale and apologized. Schlepping this used junk to people can be rewarding and shitty on a psychic level. Tony, did you ever tell the IRS how upset you are at them stealing from you at gunpoint? If so, please post it here, as I'd like to give them a piece of my mind too.

Best luck to both. Sorry to hear about the bad luck on both parts.

Purchased a short shift kit and rear headrests from @vviking. He shipped promptly and packaged well. If you're looking to do business with this member you should know he's old school. No PayPal or square cash. Check or money order only sent by mail, in my case cross country. Rest assured he's for real and will follow through. would definitely do business again.

Ps. Shipping was a little extra, so I'm mailing out a check for the difference.

[Jeremy]

Thats why I posted here first. it ensured that I would get a refund.

If you posted here and left feedback without contacting the seller privately via PM or e-mail to give them the opportunity to make it right, that's a total dick move. Sure, it ensured you got your refund, but you likely would have gotten the same result had you handled it privately. You still could've posted negatively about him here in the unlikely event he refused. Mistakes happen. You've got to a give a person/business a chance to make it right before you start badmouthing them. The good ones will make it right, the ones that don't deserve the reputation they get.

The only person who came out looking bad in this is you, Tony.

Multiple transactions with South26 and never a bad part or experience.
