MOTOR TIME.. Ebay (SCAM?)

[willhogan]

Anybody dealt with these clowns? They sell rebuilt 2ZZ's for 2K (after $499 core charge). They had decent feedback and a one year warranty on the rebuild.

I bit the bullet and decided to give them a shot... Figure it was better than the 7k for a crate motor (this is motor #3).

Anyhow, it's been six weeks and II don't have my motor. I paid them by Google check out using my VISA.

They have not given me a tracking number and keep telling me they emailed it to me. I asked for it three times over the phone and they claim it's in my email. I emailed them today and they told me UPS misplaced my last motor and that a new one was shipped yesterday. I asked for a tracking number and they told me it's the same BOL as the last one (means nothing to me)....

These guys are giving me the run around. I wonder if the motor even exists... Should I just call VISA and do a charge back? Would this not constitute fraud? Paying for something they can't deliver.

Let me know your thoughts. Summer is almost gone and I want my Lotus back on the road.

Buddy.... time to call VISA without further delay. Pay more somewhere else and deal with honest people. That's why I love my American Express. They are very good at dealing with this kind of people.

If it were me, the charge would have been cancelled four weeks ago. Good luck, dude; hope everything works out.
