Parts For Sale SHADY EBAY SELLER

[Davelaf]

Hi, just letting folks know about a eBay seller, "thepartresource" out of Florida was, at least in my opinion and a lot of other customers, very misleading and shady. I got a rusty VMAX part that looked like it was out in a field for a few years. I contacted them to cancel order before it shipped, they still shipped it. When I sent it back they deducted 50% PLUS the shipping. eBay corrected the matter, but then I looked at the negative reviews (which I should have done at the beginning). But a LOT of customers getting shafted by these people. Anyway they have plenty of Vmax parts for sale, just be careful.

I have purchased from this seller. I bought a 17X6 modified rear rim from them and a georg deget rear brake arm stay. Yes the rim needed refinishing but for $62 free shipping it was a steal. Yes alot of the parts they list look old and tired but they have not misrepresented anything I have bought. Shipping was fast. What part did you but from them? Did you not look at the pictures before buying? Not all vmax parts are mint cond. Just my experience. Yours may vary.

It was a radiator side cover, they said one plastic level was cracked, but nothing about the rusty screen, bolts, and melted part, which you couldn't see from photos. Then when I tried to cancel it before they shipped it, they ignored email, then when I sent it back I paid for the shipping, which, I'll pay even though I didn't want them to ship it, they only refunded less than half of the remaining amount. eBay corrected that, but in my mind, not good business practices.

I'm curious. If you couldn't see the damage in the pictures or description, what made you try to cancel the order?

I was quietly wondering the same thing.

I found out you could get OEM brand new ones, which I got one.
