hi guys,just to give you a warning there is a guy on ebay selling audi rs4 parts which he does not have,i won and paid by cheque under bonnet carbon(thought i would keep a spare set you never know) he cashed cheque 4 weeks ago and no sign of money back or parts,he does reply to emails but the excuses are unreal.ie:funeral,parcel force lost parcel,wife having baby i have heard them all,i wont publish his name in case this goes legal but he is a ltd company and the only guy selling rs4 parts on ebay such as mirrors etc etc,if you want confirmation of name pm me,lets try and keep the ass---- from selling so called parts.

Would he have a boxers name?

I'm bidding on some mirrors from him as I was going to get them colour coded to the car

Yeah I've seen this before, is his name similar to a tuning company that sells wheels and tuning bits for Range Rovers etc.

Have you tried speaking to your bank about getting the cheque recalled? From what I can recall its pretty straight forward even if its been cashed... the other thing is to open a dispute within eBay and eBay should refund you your money and then they take it up with the seller.

hi again guys,yes you have all guessed it right who he is,i have reported him to ebay,he cashed the cheque 6 weeks ago and you can only recall cheques from the same bank issuer and he does not bank with nat west,HOPE HE BANKS WITH NORTHERN ROCK he!he!,ebay wont pay back only if you have paid by paypal.Hope fully he wont be around long now on ebay.
