Default Very disappointing: Scooby Parts aka Triple Filtered

I recently bought some color coded wing mirrors and door handles off Triple filtered.

He claimed to have sent the items, but refused to tell me which address (I have two) or what method of delivery he sent them by.

Quite genuinely he offered a refund or to send some more parts - still wanting the parts I asked him to send me another set and suggested he use recorded delivery.

Since then he has refused to answer emails and no parts have arrived.

Very disappointing, would urge people to stay away.

No, didnt try via this site... he did respond very quickly at first but agreeing to send another set he stopped responding all together.

We'll see if he responds to this post, or PMs me... tbh I've sort of given up and just wanted people to know about my experience with him.

I was doubtful, but I bought four doors from him, when one turned up it was exposed and had a crack in it, I messaged him with a picture and he sent another door out for free, I think he only does breaking in the evenings/ weekends, I had to wait a little while for the doors, but they turned up.

I also had a wing from him with no problems

I've had a bumper bar and inner wing shield with no problems and have just brought a facelift front grille.
I had to wait 2 weeks for the first parts and probably the same now but that's how it is when he only does it as a side line job,not a worry to me because as above the parts turned up and in condition described.
Hope you get it sorted mate,i don't think your being scammed mate

I'm awaiting a reply to a PM sent at the beginning of March, 11th to be precise.

I bought a bumper, it in no way matched the condition it was advertised as. I asked for a refund and said I'd return it. Nothing, nicht, nadda in reply.

I gave up waiting for a reply. so I sold it on Ebay, correctly described and ended up getting more than I paid for it.

As always, buyer beware.

I used PayPal... I bought them off the back of another ad he had on Ebay. I only bought them because of the trade he seems to drum up on here... really hacked off, i know its only £50 but still having just come out of Uni and spent all my money on a Scoob it makes a big difference to me.

Hoping he'll either send them soon or refund my money - Think its bizare that he would just stop all communication, not good for business.

Cheers to the member who directed me to this thread.

Id just like to give my side of the story before folk start jumping the gun.

a.offord contacted me through ebay asking if I had the mentioned parts, I did have 3 sets of standard skirts and mirrors etc so thought if I colour coded the 3 sets theyd be easier to sell so I painted a set and sent him his parts.

I told him Im a trader on Scoobynet, gave him my usernames etc and asked him to feel free to contact me.

Week or so later he claims nothing has been delivered so I offered a refund or to send another set as I had the paint and materials here anyway. He agreed to another set so they were painted and sent.

Now these have not been delivered either??

Please note that all this was done on Ebay were I am hardly ever on (I have a feedback of 4!!) as I dont like using it or Paypal as all my customers will know, I send invoices via a merchant account.

I have logged on to my ebay account and you sent ONE message saying that the 2nd set hadnt been delivered and have made NO attempt to contact me on here by PM.

I will send you a refund and Im not saying youre at it, but I find it strange that none of the 2 sets made it to you and also you havent started a dispute through paypal?
Plus if I was going to scam you, I wouldnt have told you I was a trader on here and give you my usernames etc??

OK, he has a point... two deliveries that have not turned up.

Have you, like i asked, provided the details of the address or tracking numbers? NO.

Now your claiming I sent no emails?

Proof otherwise...


Honestly, Why would I need two sets - I only have one car. And if your using ebay to sell then you should be checking it regularly for emails.

I tried to raise dispute through PayPal but left it too late.

Well, with starting new job and my brothers return from Afghan i've had a lot to think about... trying to make time to follow every little thing up has been hard.

I did try, a lot, to contact the seller but got nothing back... and as it was outside of Ebay i wasnt sure i could dispute it via PayPal but upon checking i realised i could - but actually had left it too late.

Live and Learn ay.

I have time now things have settled down... More than happy to provide screen shots of every message, including sender and recipient if you wish?

And to be fair, I only expressed my concerns with the service i received to make others aware... I used no specific terms like 'scam'
