I paid Scott Burris on the 11th of January 2010, parts not received, no contact either. I seriously believe Scott has stolen my money.

Can anyone suggest how to test if the boot lights are staying on with the boot shut?

i sent him a postal order about 2-3 weeks ago for a heater blower motor and haven't recieved anything yet. I sent him a message asking if he's sent it yet and got a reply yesterday saying he had, haven't i recieved it? He said he has another that he'll send out so we'll just have to see. Could really do with it. If it turns up in next few days then i haven't got a problem as sometimes things get lost in the post. I'll be honest tho, i was starting to think along the same lines but i'll give everyone a chance

Hi Mate, I sympathise with this, but I guess this isn't the right section for the discussion.

How did you pay him? Paypal?

Wondering if there's a way you can get your money back.

Either way, given that he's got so many posts on here and is a registered seller therefore has a reputation to protect I bet there's a genuine explanation for this. :D

He's told me the parts have been removed, packaged and are ready to post. :D

I'm sure Scott is a good bloke. . . The lack of communication got my back up. No hard feelings.

Ps) Guys, I don't have his number, my only means of contacting him is through E30zone.

Actually, this post DIDNT get my attention. I logged on and looked at my PM's and seen as I get an email when someone replies to a thread that I've posted on, I had one from my for sale thread... which is where I initially responded to you. (FYI) :)

glad this was sorted out amicably and the bits are on the way to respective zoners.

With regards the post it should really be in the feedback section and this is where i will move it to, although i do agree with your opinion that it is E30 related chat, but it is more so feedback related!!
