Default URGENT!problem, please help.....

I just won an auction for a brand new drag kit for an integra on Ebay because it was a great deal. However the seller does not take paypal. I don't trust sending a large amount of $ by money order of course.

I was wondering if there is any kind of service out there that would guarantee that i get my stuff from him.

here's a link to the auction
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT

please let me know asap.
TIA

not to be a dick, but i wouldnt have bid on that thing. He doesnt have any feedback from selling ANYTHING. Thats not bad, mabe its his first ad.

He won an auction for info on how to build a turbo kit, then he has one to sell? thats sketchball in itself. Also, i saw another ad just like that, same pictures, same list, and it was bogus.

I feel like your gonna get rippppppped, but ask why he doesnt take paypal. only thing i can think of would be an escrow sort of thing.

also, you could have not had to worry about it, and just built your own kit. i would assume thats why your here, but maybe im wrong, i must not know the name of the site.

Dumbass, why would you do that? First of all, you're on HomaMadeTurbo.com, not DragTurboKits.com

Second, if you're not comfortable paying with anything other than Paypal, you shouldn't have bid on the tiem knowing he doesn't accept Paypal. What were you thinking?

You can still send him a personal check. Then you have proof that you made a payment and he is more liable. Good luck........dumbass

Thats actually a pretty decent deal for a drag kit..

however the description is horrible, doesnt really say anything. Is it new used? how many miles on it? etc etc. Btw that seller has recently changed his ID within the past 30 days. Thats a bit sketchy.

Where does this dude live? maybe you could get lucky and get a HMT member to check him out and hand deliver the payment (for a small fee of course)
