Does anyone know about ebayer taaroa477?

dispute has to be made within 45 day after payment. after that you have no recourse. also the transaction has to be done through the auction. if payment was done with a credit card your chances are good you will be reimburst in full provides you are in good standing with them.

I've never dealt with this guy but im surprised he has 100% positive feedback.

That usually would cause me to buy from him with no worries.

Obviously a mistake.

Someone need to get some negative info out there.

Needs to end up on the bad ebayer list.

If you do a search for taaroa477 you find a few people on this site have bought from him in the past and have nothing but praise. They may have his address.

I just ran across this thread and the eBay'ers name rang a bell, so I did some research into my past emails and it turns out that I had a transaction with this seller in the past. In reading through the email exchanges that I had with him, I have been able to get some additional info on this company / person that will hopefully help kats to at least get his money back.

The information that I have is as follows:

Sellers name is Wayne Sava.

The address that I have for him is

1172 Old Salem Road NE

Suite 6

Albany, Oregon, 97321

The email that I have for him is ssherman1@live.com

Based on how our transaction went I also have a phone number for his as well. The number that I have is 503 428 2615.

Our transaction was a little convoluted, but in the end it worked out. It started when I purchased a set of half shafts from him on eBay but realized after they had been shipped to me that they were the wrong ones for my car (R180 vs R200). In the effort to resolve this, he sent me a phone number so we could discuss the situation first hand and find a resolution. I received his mailing address so I could send the original shafts back to him. This all took place between May and August of 2010.

I remember talking to him on the phone and he indicated that he had quite a stock of all Z parts. I ended up ordering a set of springs from him as well based on that conversation. It took quite a while to get the springs but I ultimaely did receive them. However right after that he literally vanished and before I ever received the replacement half shafts and so eventually I just wrote it off.

However around mid February of 2011 I saw some new ads from the same seller on eBay and so I contacted the person. He remembered the original transaction and I reminded him of the fact the the half shafts were never shipped. I received them about 2 weeks later so in the end he made good.

I really hope this helps kats get his money back.

Mike.

Hi...I know Wayne and just sent him a text summary of this. I have always found him to be 100% standup guy. Let's hope he can clear this up quickly.

Just to clear things up a little "flight2cdg" is a middle-man or proxy that ebayers in Japan use when they want to purchase from sellers that do not ship to Japan. It is a service that Kats probably paid for in addition to the $710.00 he paid for the wheels and shipping. If this is the case, I would imagine he has already contacted flight2cdg in regards to this transaction and they probably told him that they have not received the wheels and that they are not responsible.

Here's a link to the middle-mans profile:

Good luck Kats.

Just wanted to update all on my sterring wheel issue with ebayer taaroa477. I filed a claim with Paypal and he finall responded with a correct mailing address. I mailed him back the steering wheel and rec'd a refund for the cost plus shipping. This only happened after I filed a case with Paypal....so for kats that might be the way to go.

Thank you so much everyone,

I sould say thank you for each of you ,

some of you provided phone number , transaction history ,

story of doing business with him , etc,

these informations are very helpful for me.

I was thinking about calling eBay , but did not just I was very busy.

The seller taaroa477 gave me a reply, and he refunded

me 710.00 USD on 13th Jan. That was almost one month gap.

I had been asking him if he did not send the wheels, please refund the money.

He said during his vacation, he would have think the wheels delivered ,

but he was informed they did not by his close friend in this CZCC.

He then found the wheels were sent back to a local post office,

Then he got e-mail me back quickly with the refund.

I want to apologize everyone here, also taaroa477.

He just went a vacation. Not ignored me.

I am very sorry about this.

kats
