man i hope i didn't just get screwed with this purchase. I PMed him about getting a refund becuase i'm sure he hasn't shipped the parts yet. It says he's online right now but we'll see what happens.

I found this today on mr2oc.com and it has me really worried.

wow...I don't know if its random or connected...but I always get im's from a 'turbonator' and a few others listed under the board names he has used on MR2OC.com. I'm usually busy and ignore random im's, but the few times I have responded the guy is always asking me if I have anything for sale.

[MR2Board]

I say if he doesn't respond ASAP, go ahead and file a claim with Paypal, reverse the charge with your credit card company, etc. Act quickly because it's much better safe than sorry.

[mr23rdgen]

Well, everything was going to get shipped tonight as im also shipping a short shifter, corner lights, and a few other things. I would not like to make 5 trips, and rather just wait untill everything is ready (right now) and ship. It has only been 2 days since he sent me money, and he already filed a claim. So he will be getting a refund and no parts. I also just e-mailed him as i work all day. Thats fine with me, as i will just throw everything up seperate on ebay and get double for them.

[MR2Board]

You need to make extra effort to keep people updated, especially when your reputation has been in question on other boards. If you plan to wait several days, then let people know that. I know we are probably over-reacting, but we are very serious about preventing our members from getting screwed over. We know your history with mr2oc, but we are willing to give you a chance here and give you the benefit of the doubt. We are going to open your access to the rest of the forums as soon as we hear back from you on the refund and you post a tracking number for the shifter plate. In time, your sales here won't be as scrutinized by the staff once you have built your reputation back up, and you seem to be doing ok minus some lack of communication in some instances. Please post here when you get that info. Thanks for checking in with this thread.

I paid through paypal buyer credit, most private sellers don't except cc payments through paypal.

[sengk]

I filed a claim with paypal. I just received an email from him saying that he will refund my money.

Hope everything goes well.

[skillzo1]

Like i said ....i will wait a another day or 2 before i leave bad fb. He did answer almost all my pm's. He said he was definatly gunna do it today. Let's c what happens.

[skillzo1]

well no word from him yet!!!! This sux.

[mr23rdgen]

Everyone will have tracking numbers by monday, i dropped off the packages last night but nobody was there. I have a account through them so they told me i can leave them there and someone will get them shipped 1st thing.

If you guys seen my feedback on mr2oc.com it would make up for it. I cant say anything because im banned and they dont know my names now, but use a few other names and I have poss. 100% feedback on all of them. One sale of a turbo that went bad 1 month later and I get screwed, and it was only a $200 turbo, and PA Auto Racing can sell a $700 ct20b and it goes bad, he doesnt give refund, and everyone is on PA Auto Racings side. I dont get you guys sometimes.... I rather be unknown sometimes, like on mr2oc.

from another board:

Exclamation Banned User - Cutter and many other user names
His real name is SHANE.

here is a good collection of his user names he has used in the past.

turbonator
0CUTTER0
CAMperformance
Cobrastrike
John Zurcher
mr23rdgen
MR24U2PoopOn
MR2SRS
OneFastTMr2

I have had to ban Cutter. He lives in the Lancaster Pennsylvania area. He is a long time MR2 owner and "tuner". He has a habit of braging about how he rips off our members on the internet.
I found that he has been selling a lot of items here on this board again. He has good feedback. But he is selling what he calls "crap".

Im selling it for what its worth. Plus for buying 3 full turbo kits i got a free tubular manifold worth $150, air filter, stainless lines, and all kinds of knick nacks for free. The manifold in the picture above is the free one i got with this kit. He said he is throwing extras in on the next 2 also. Im just going to resell them for a little under there going price to get even more of a profit.

Im making almost more buying and reselling on the internet then i do at my fulltime job. I picked up a greddy e-manage for $80 on ebay. CT20b turbo for $350 (worth $650-750), I do this ____ all the time. then sell what they are worth. Im watching a intercooler kit on ebay right now with no reserve price. Its only at $225 1 day left and its a $800 intercooler.

Oh besides, if they dont buy it from me they will get it from someone else anyways. So i might as well go ahead and make the profit. A few years ago i threw one of those "electric turbos" up on ebay to see if any dumbass would bid on it. I sold it for $200 and went down to the RV/Boat store and got one for $29 and shipped it out. 2 weeks later i get poss. feedback for it saying how great it is. LOL. I think im going to start buying MR2's and reselling them.

Now I have no problem with people buying stuff and selling it for profit. But I thought it would be a good idea to let you know what is going on. Now we do have some good vendors in the PA area, MR2 Warehouse/PA Autoracing is around tere, and a few others.
I suggest when purchasing items, cars, turbos, etc: DO YOUR RESEARCH ON WHO YOU ARE BUYING FROM. Both on this board and e-Bay.

This Cutter guy is the same who posted recently asking how to steal money from someones PayPal account without getting caught.

I was told to post this for a guy at work. He has a pay-pal account, and so does his buddy. They have been doing deals off and on and his buddy was doing the money collecting. He found out he was ripping him off and telling him that he was only getting X ammount of money, when he was getting more keeping more profit. Well my buddy got his password for his pay-pal and wants to know how to transfer money from his acount, to his, or use it to buy something without them being able to trace it or find out. I told him I dont think its possable, but never really thought of it. Any ideas? He got ripped for over $1k and I guess he has $300 in his pay-pal and he said he will be happy with that. Just doesnt want him to find out, or be able to track it. I dont think its possable, but ya never know....

so, becareful about what you buy and who you buy from. There are plenty of good standing members. There are also members that are not. We try to get rid of them for you. But they come back. Cutter brags about having multiple IPs, we get them when we can. But he will come back. All we can do is warn you to be careful and research who you are buying from.

[Siccished]

Why do you guys purchase parts from people with ZERO trader ratings (selling not buying)?

I asked the seller if he has any feedback from selling on other forums or an ebay account with feedback, but he never got back to me about this. He just said he has positive feed back on this board, but 3 positive feedbacks for buying stuff is Zer0 psoitive feedbacks in my book.

I then asked for his home phone, cell phone & home adress before purchasing the stuff, but i guess somebody bought it before getting back to me..

Tisk tisk..

Hope everybody gets their parts/money/refunds & a smooth transaction.

[Mach2]

I may be missing out but I have never bought anything from any one online business or personal for this reason. Itd be just my luck my money would get took..

He did have fb on here that was good. But i didn't take notice if he was the buyer or seller. I read the post from the other board a while ago, but it didn't hit me until i already sent my money.

Honestly what do u expect people to do???? U SHOULD make it a priority to get those people there parts in a timely manner. We do understand that **** happens sometimes...so if it gets pushed back a day or 2 then so be it. But They pay when u want them to and then they gotta wait for u to sell 5 more things before u ship. I'm now being held up becuase of this. I understand your piont on not wanting to travel 5 times to ship different items, but we're the customers in this instance. I needed this part asap, my shifter pops out in 5th gear. I couldn't afford to wait for the shifter. I would of bought the knockoff. U didn't even WARN me about waiting a week to ship. Not trying to be a **** man, but u gotta change the way u do business. And like i said u DID get back to my pm's so that is a plus.

[mr23rdgen]

Nobody will get ripped off, you guys paid by pay-pal so your fine no matter what happens. Also a long time ago, people even asked if i was Cutter from the other board and i came out and said I was to everyone here. People still bought from me, and nobody had problems. Sorry but I alredy had payment for 3 items and was waiting for the pay-pal for the other 2 which were supose to be sent that day, but got sent 2 days late.

[sengk]

Still haven’t received a refund from mr23rdgen. Will wait a couple of more days then escalate the claim with Paypal.

PLEASE GET MY SHIFTER SHIPPED OUT TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
