We go out of our way to protect buyers here. If you don't feel safe enough to buy parts on this board there isn't another forum on the web that you can buy parts from. I can assure you that myself and the staff do everything we possibly can to make sure no one gets scammed here. Accounts get restricted to the feedback forum immediately when we learn of a problem. I've made in person visits with sellers, or hounded them any way I could until they made the situation good. I've even paid the shipping charges on a motor for someone and I never got my money back for it. I can assure you there is NO OTHER forum owner or mod staff that goes to the lengths we have. I know this very well because I have in fact had to hound other forum owners to get them to take action in overlooked situations similar to this. In some cases those situation were overlooked for months and month even after being reported and after thousands of dollars were at stake. Anyone who's been around the MR2 community for several years knows exactly what I am talking about.

One bad fish doesn't make the entire lake bad. You want to talk bad about a forum that has limited control on the actions of its members which is ridiculous. What's even more ridiculous is the situation that you refer to as making you uneasy to do business here will get resolved. Bad things will happen anywhere you go. What sets this forum far apart from ANY other is how much effort we put into limiting that as much as possible. Other forum owners and staff won't even give you the time of day, much less personally try to help you in situations such as this one.
