Stupid ebayer
« on: 07 March 2012, 19:41 »
Just bought some LM's and the guy on eBay had them on a mk4. I asked him what the offset was and he said 5x100. So now we know the pcd! Obviously I took his word, went up in the dark and collected the wheels. Went to fit them tonight, realised the pcd is 5x112. Where do I stand now?! He said he'll pay towards adaptors but that's really not the point. I'm 400 pound down with alloys that don't fit my car!

If you cannot live with adaptors, then file a claim misadvertising! if you paid via paypal? But if you picked them up why didn't you just pay cash when you saw them?  :lipsrsealed:

Item not as described. eBay rules says you give them back and he refunds the money.

Tell him straight mate, you want your money back!

I never said I paid by PayPal. I paid cash on collection. But it was dark, didn't look at the back of the wheels. His mk4 was on the drive so I didn't even think about them not fitting! He just said he'd take them back. But I really wanted them!

So what you want the adaptors for free then?

They're 18's. Yeah he had them on with adaptors but he got the garage to his wheels. So obviously the garage have the adaptors. Hopefully! I would buy adaptors but I shouldn't have to.

well your only options are
1 give them back
2 buy adaptors.

if hes said he will give you some money towards adaptors and you want them then just take him up on his good will gesture.
