Trusted Ebay traders do that all the time. I tried to buy an induction kit with a remap date arranged. The seller had 10 "in stock" so I ordered. A week later they cancelled and refunded my money with no explanation. It was because K&N themselves had none in stock and the seller was playing the "middle man". It messed me right up , but the difference is at least I got a refund !

I was fairly sure it wasn't you. Just the name stuck in my head. Given the strife buying/selling stuff can create I don't blame you! 👍

See Gary Mac, not everyone is as pathetic as you, people will put them selves out for others, you can't hide, not even behind your topless facebook photos.

Let it be a lesson learnt buddo!

Glad we got a good outcome Tyran, and with very little hassle. I have to admit, a small part of me actually enjoyed ripping him to shreds on his threads

It's a pity there isn't a like button for these sort of replies.

Great news, glad it got sorted, albeit a little short of a full refund, the boys on some of the Northern Ireland/Ireland forums were disgusted to hear this too and you had our support mate

Just be careful not to get your Audi serviced at Audi Belfast, you might find some of your parts up for sale on Facebook

If that's indeed where the ball bag works, then report him to his employer

It is indeed where he works as an apprentice mechanic.

That was the next step if he didnt pay up. Unfortunately I think there are others out there that he has done over as well, hopefully they will find this thread.

The guy obviously thought he was WAY more intelligent that he actually was, I mean if you are going to scam people, having genuine details about yourself on many forums isn't very wise. Numpty

The best is when he declared on facebook his tax evasion and his selling of counterfeits. Hysterical.

It bothers me that an Ireland location in a listing now creates suspicion.

Just remember, if you have an Audi don't get it serviced by Audi Belfast, as you might end up seeing your wheels for sale on eBay
