DSCLAIMER: I'm doing as I was told by the moderator and no hard feelings but I still haven't gotten my money back yet and it'll be a month saturday
(03/03/07).

So I first PM'ed this guy about his HKS Hi-Flow muffler system I saw that he had forsale about the 26th of January. He varifies that it's still availible and we then proceed to work out shipping. I tell him for that item shipped to me due to it's estimated weight and size should be around 50-69bucks. OK,cool,no problem and varifies it via: USPS.com so for now things are good. I then let him know a few days later (feb 1st) that I have the money and ready to paypal it to him ($350.00 SHIPPED). At the time it's still presumed that the shipping should not change. I'm under the impression that if there are any problems I should know in a few days so they could be straightend out. I send the money that same day and PM him that I did so and he tells me he'll let me know when he recieves the money. He lets me know that money has not cleared in his paypal account yet. Also that he will not ship until it does so I'm like,fine,whatever I guess I understand. Eventhough when paypal tells you your money is on the way you're gonna get it no matter what. Anyway, So on the 9th or 10th(I'm stationed in Guam so we're about 16 hours ahead of you) I recieve a PM reply from the one I sent him from him saying"Just like i told you last time i talk to you, im shipping it on my next day off which is thursday. If magically i dont go to class or work before then, i'll let you know.". Now the funny thing is the money cleared on the 6th so this is four days after it's cleared and still nothing. Ontop of the fact that I was nice enough to wait till the paypal transaction cleared for whatever reason. Four days later I send him a PM saying"But I'm wondering when you'll have time to ship my exhuast to me as I did pay for it. I think that in all fairness a seller should be doing everything in their power to make sure the buyer is a happy one. Yes, I also know I am some hours ahead of you (about 16) but as I told you before I'm waiting on this along with a few other parts. However,it's important that I get all this within a certain amount of time. I also know that by the time you get this it will be monday there as it will be tuesday here. But I would really appriciate it if you can get it out the door sometime this week because I still have to wait an additional week for the actual shipping. If you're having issues making it to the post office let me know." He says"
I have let you know. I told you my schedule exactly. Im telling you the same thing now that i told you a 4 days ago.

If you had a specific timeframe you needed this shipped in you should have asked before you sent payment.

I requested off tomorrow for a doctor appointment with my neurologist. Ill try to get it shipped tomorrow. I work full time and go to school.

Im going to go ahead and say you're seriously annoying me with this. There is simply nothing i can do until my day off. Be patient."
So as you can imagine at this point I'm a bit confused,angry,and nervous all at the same time. I have paid for a part that hasn't even shipped going on two three weeks later and have no idea what to expect. So I said "Like I said "not to sound like an ass" and if shipping was going to be an issue you should have informed me ahead of time. Not two, three days AFTER I sent payment. Just let me know I suppose I can give it another week or two. Pardon me for "annoying" you as I'm trying to be as professional about this as possible. I respected your request to wait a week for the paypal (wich was going to show up in your account reguardless) to clear. Now I'm simply asking the same from you." and he replies "I've bought and sold every single aftermarket part that i purchased for my last MR2 product, and they didnt seem to have an issue with the fact i go to school and work full time. Sorry.

Ill get it out to you as soon as i can." at this point things are starting to go downhill. But wait there's more... I get fed up and I sent him this"As of next saturday (your time) sunday for me it will be three weeks since the payment has cleared and I have paid you for the exhuast system. Ok, I can understand busy for a few days and whatever. However I cannot see waiting a month just to get something shipped my way not to mention the additional week or two for it to get to me. To me that's just rediculous and no seller I have ever delt with has had that much of a problem making it to the post office. So it's simple if you can't get it shipped my way by next saturday your time. Just send me my money back and I'll go elsewhere. I appologize for being a concerned buyer but this is rediculous. I will leave you positive feedback still and no hard feelings but I have to get things done. I cannot allow anymore time then that because at that rate I'd be better off going elsewhere or waiting for another deal. If you can't for whatever reason refund my money then I guess you better get on it quick cause I don't know what else to do. I feel I have been more then patient with you and really I don't think you're making a true effort on you end to do so. But that's just me and if somehow it's already on it's way then send me my tracking number and disregard this PM." Ironically I get this PM reply "Okay "guy", i shipped your exhaust yesterday on my lunch break, im waiting for the email which will give me my conformation number. Ill forward it to you when i recieve it.

Thanks for being so patient."

So as soon as I think things are getting taking care of then I get this PM"So guess what?

I got a call from my shipper today. (good friend of mine). He didnt ship my exhaust. You know why?

He wanted to call and make sure the $350 dollars its going to cost to send this 50lb 46x24x8 package to Guam is okay. Well its not.

So youre going to either have to paypal me $350, or my next paycheck ill refund your money.

Thanks." Now at this point I'm like ok,whatever no biggy just send me my money back that you SHOULD still have since you have not yet sent me my exhuast,right ?...NOT !

Since then he has attemptend to sell the system AGAIN in an attempt to get my money back. He tells me that he "doesn't have it and wont till whenever the ****".He also says to not contact him till money is sent (whenever that is). Then his says he'll pay me back on his payday and this was last week

. So I take matter into my own hands to try to save my own ass from losing out. I take out a paypal claim and alert the mods in the forsale section. Needless to say I still have no money or part and it's not March 1st where I am and yeah.....
