Brett at AW Shifting took my money and gave me the shaft!

Now that's interesting. His website is down, and seems no one on other boards knows where to find him. I was considering his controller for an AW4 swap into an auto TJ, but think I'll pass.

Brett... if you're not dead yet, time to get your butt on all the boards with memebrs wanting a piece of your hide and man up, and pay up, or produce and ship the products you sold.

Read through the thread, he has gotten out of that, so I doubt his site will be coming up or that he will be producing anything.

When I build stuff for people, I only accept money once I've actually built it, but before shipping... Or I warn ahead of time that building may be delayed till enough orders come in. Not doing that isn't polite in my opinion.
 
He got me last year. After months I was able to get my money back and some lame excuse about him being busy. Not too busy to take my money! It seems from this posting that this nonsense doesn't stop. He needs to just close his web site down and think about his reputation.
 
Paid him for his product back in Sept,08 never recieved any communication or goods. All emails and pms were ignored.I hope the old saying comes true in this case " what goes around comes around" I hope he gets what is coming to him.

The bastard drove to your house and took your money?

or

You willingly sent it to him via paypal without contacting him, confirming that he was still in the game or researching what to expect...

What he said...

I would've at least filed a paypal claim and then escalated it and got my money back after a couple weeks of no product and no contact. If he had no money in his account, at least they would've then locked him out.
 
paypal is worthless about disputes. I got completely screwed buying something on ebay once, I sent payment immediately, gave the guy a month before filing a complaint. paypal gave him a month to respond, he responded at the very end saying he sent it but was sending another. It never got to me either. I responded saying I never got anything and wanted my money back, they gave him another month or two and then dropped the whole thing because "the seller never responded". Negative feedback left, 60 bucks wasted, got a neutral and semi-illiterate angry response to my feedback for my time and money.

Another of my friends sold a thousand-dollar piece of equipment (an HP spectrum analyzer/cellphone site analyzer) on ebay and shipped it without insurance as the guy didn't request insurance. It got completely destroyed by the united states postal smashers, the guy demanded his money back. Paypal gave him his money back, told him to ship the remains back to my friend, which he never did.

Long story short I hate ebay and paypal's dispute "resolution" system and will always find another way to pay if I can.

Hmmm, guess you just have crappy luck. I've filed 4-5 claims through paypal in the past and I've gotten my money back every time. Of course I've never waited more than 2 weeks
 
I know one guy that got screwed using cash...
But she was a hooker and he was looking to get screwed.


cash rules...
:P

I've never filed a claim with them, but once I had a guy send me $800 of a $4,000 debt he owed me, then 2 weeks later, he filed a claim with PayPal saying somebody hacked his account and sent the money. They yanked the money back out of my bank (bank, not paypal) account, leaving me over drafted. They said it could take 90 days to investigate. I don't remember what they claimed, but I never got the money back from them (eventually got it from the d-bag).

BrettW did not screw you guys. I met him once years ago, we talked about his shifter. I remember reading either here on NAXJA or on his website that he was getting out of the business, but would sell individual components for the buyer to assemble their own shifter. When his inventory of parts was gone, so would he be. Like Mud said, you need to do a little research, business for many reasons go belly up.

I searched NAXJA and couldn't find the thread so it must have been the website.

The interesting thing about pay-pal...you need to watch your account, money sometimes "magically" appears and departs just as quick. If you are not on top of the accounting you could be pillaged. I set up automatic renewal with NAXJA a few years ago, time to renew this month, money left my account, NAXJA didn't recieve, money back in my account and pay-pal sends me a notice "unable to transmit". I am becoming more skeptical of this service. I don't get this yo-yo funding of my Nigerian Bank account inherited from Uncle Wallace.
 
If he left the website up, and continued to accept payments... nice guy or not, that's inexcusable. The first time, okay, he forgot to shut it down- but when it continues to happen, that's his fault as well as the guys that just hit the "buy" button without a second thought.

You are absolutely correct, boatwrench and muduck are making asinine statements that aren't even worth debating.

Asi... okay, not really. ;) Yeah, Brett needs to get his scat together, and anyone sending some fool they don't know money for parts over teh interwebs, should do a little research first. Case in point- I'm waiting on parts from 2 guys at the moment. One sent me the wrong part, and another hasn't sent anything. Experience is a great teacher, albeit expensive at times.
