ebay dealer warning!

[shikta000]

hello guys ... i've had a horrendous experience with a dealer on ebay by the name of ' maddogadi ' ( yeah the name should have been a warning) ... i bought a gearbox from him for £95 plus delivery. i obviously asked many q's before the end of auction, he assured me he'd driven the donor car, 110,000 miles, no rattles,crunching, very smooth gearchange were his response to my q's ... the gearbox that arrived was not the one in the add, was put in by don of loughborough jnc, brixton ( 20 plus years on golfs), first try and it sounded not good , noisy, crunching gearchange, it was only driven a few hindred metres and kapputt! now my car is waiting for a recon, i'm out of pocket so far £240, on the case with ebay for a refund from this guy who refuses now to answer any reasonable requests for a refund. another lesson learned from me i think

Sounds eerily familiar to a guy I've had dealings with previously.

there's some mad dog VW shop thingy that a number of morons are associated with.  The only thing they seem capable of is ripping people off.

Got the link to the add?

Leave a scathing feedback and report him to ebay. It is probably the most you can do unfortunately.

He does have 300 positive feedback though? Not sure if it could be geniune mistake on there part, but yeah they should respond right away with there amount of trading going on!

i did try that civilised route .. if he'd sorted out the problem and refunded me i'd be cool with that, not responding says it all to me. i've learnt a lesson i reckon.

sad to hear your having problems with this trader.....

i have had a few items from them / him also have them saved as a favourite,and to be honest i find him

really helpfull,their prices are good,and the service/ delivery is good,and most importantly the

parts have so far been excellent..as previously said maybe just a bad part in this instance,



hope you get it sorted soon ..

That's the easiest route for getting all your money back, regardless of it not working.
