I purchased wheels off of this seller iambape. The communication was great before purchasing them and they shipped fast but...
The wheels were packaged shitty. Just threw in a box together (2) without any padding, only plastic bags here and there. Looked like the box was almost broken from them bouncing around.
The finish (paint on the wheels) looked like he used white out to paint the chipped parts. This was never shown in the pics or mentioned. He claimed he didnt know because they arent HIS wheels but a friends. (But he is the one who had them and packaged them and listed the wheels as his)
I contacted the seller right away and he said he couldnt refund me because it was his friend who has the money. I told him he was responsible because the transaction was done through him. I told him to at least refund me the amount to get the paint refinished and he agreed. I waited days and weeks and all I got were excuses. Finally I gave him a deadline or else action would be taken. That deadline has past and he made an excuse saying he was going to send me a money order since he didnt want his parents to find out he was spending more money. Well that was last Thursday and well what do you know a week later no response. Ive PMed, called, and texted multiple times and the last thing I got was "no internet and I sent it out".
If any of you guys know him, tell him to make this right. I have been patient enough. I am filing a claim against him and also going to contact the police department in that area unless he contacts me.
Any other suggestions on getting my money back?
Here is an example of the PMs between us. I have so many PMs like this..
Quote from iambape:
"i know you did the transaction with me. my friend asked me cause he needed money. i cant say no. this is only a website. we all know we would rather pick friend > site. nonetheless, i dont know what to say but go ahead tell the mods that i sold the wheels for a friend. cause i cant do anything. friday morning? well , ill try my best. cant give you any guarantee. certainly i shouldn't give a fuck but i try my best."
Quote from me:
"The way you are treating this transaction is ridiculous. Just because the wheels arent yours doesnt mean you shouldnt care. Look, all I am asking is that you have your friend refund me the amount to refinish these white out looking wheels that we agreed on. I paid a certain amount. Have him refund from the money I paid. I do understand that it isnt YOU but you are the one I dealt with. At the LEAST update me with what is going on. I mean did you tell him? What did he say? etc. stuff like that. I really do not want to have to per sure any legal action so let me know. Thanks."
