BAD GUY: deathwish
I responded to this guy's thread about buying his rims, paid him through Paypal and never got them. I waited three weeks with no communication back from him and filed a dispute through Paypal. He straight-up lied to them saying I bought an electronic service via his website (ultimategamingservers.com). They believed his lies and sided with him. I'm thinking about flying out to Florida, where he lives, and taking the damn rims I paid for. Sounds fair to me. Anyways, he's a jackass and you shouldn't do business with him. I am being very nice by not posting his name (VERY NICE).
Just a note to anyone using Paypal: Make sure your seller sends you a detailed invoice stating EXACTLY what is being sold!

ouch!
Got a link for the thread? What's wrong with posting his name? How much $$$ did you send him?
Have you tried contacting your bank and filing a Reg. E claim?

the thread no longer exists!? here is the link, I hadn't tried it in over a month, but did send it with other documentation to paypal, maybe that's why they didn't agree with me: https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?p=1661450 (doesn't work) I paid 430-ish for two rims after shipping and the like. I tried getting my $ back from paypal, but they said no, so I called Amex a few minutes ago, but it will take 6-8 weeks to make a decision. I could be satisfied in 6-8 hours though if I caught the next flight outta AZ.

wow man - nothing worse then a **** scammer on the forums here. If you fly out there I would suggest going armed just in case.
Another suggestion is that if you do make the trip out to his place - get creative, dont just barge up to his house banging loud and screaming where are my rims, first confirm that this is indeed his house by some creative social engineering, say for example pretending to be a surveyor or utility person to make sure the person answering the door is your man. Present a calm argument and state that you are simply not going to go away, take special note to never threaten him directly as this can be used against you later, this opens the possibility of if you do confront him face to have, have a hidden voice activated tape recorder going for proof of what really happened in case it ever winds up in front of a judge.

let's all get a more rational head on here. going to another's house to demand it is just a bad idea. and as for recording a conversation, it will almost never be admissible in a court of law. and pretending to be someone that you are not is just as bad an idea as going there in the first place. i think the OP was just kidding about flying down there so let's not start talking about how he should do it.

well I'm not sure on what the law is in situations like this - however repo men are 100% legal.
This is just a case of reverse repo (if that makes sense).
I would say the most logical and sane thing to do is alert the local authorities in YOUR area and in this guys area if you have his address. See what happens when a few cops show up on this guys doorstep.

I would be asking where the hell my service to ultimategamingservers.com is. Also ask for evendince that an advertised service for that price exists and if not, ask for documented proof that you asked for that non standard service.

the admin can revive the thread if the guy deleted it to cover his tracks, you need to post the username

because you're an Admin, he obviously deleted it to cover his tracks, none of us regular schmoes can see it, he needs help retreiving it for the Paypal dispute
