A friend just sent me an email . DONT BUY ANYTHING FROM JT OUTFITTERS on eBay . According to my friend , he takes your money and doesnt ship the item and says it is out of stock . If you bitch he gives you a negative feedback and won't return the funds . Says he will ship the item later and it's been over a month . Apparently he has been selling a lot of stuff for Z cars , so be careful . My friend frequents hi-bred Z . Gary

Yeah, there's two other threads about this, but thanks for the heads up anyways.

None of those profiles fit the description of a scam seller who abuses the negative feedback options to bully people into silence.

There is a dispute resolution process on Ebay. I have used it (once) and the seller responded in a positive way to the nudge. I recommend that your friend take advantage of that process, and keep us posted as to the outcome.

And in the meantime, please check with him as to the exact Ebay user name of the offender, because somehow the name in your original post doesn't seem to be related to anyone who sells Z parts on Ebay.

Walter...... Nice touch, nice work......

George

Thats why I asked for a link.... there are matchs close to that name, but no one that has sold Z car parts if you read the feedbacks...

Am I missing it? :stupid:

Here's the original post here by AZCARBUM, who is purportedly the one that originally got burned.

Why not PM or e-mail him and find out what the exact spelling should be?

Looks like maybe some one has hijacked his account and is doing the dealings on it? Happened to us a couple of years ago. Takes a couple of weeks to get the process rolling and then some more time to get it all sorted out. May be wrong but, sure smells fishy here.
