All mail to/from Carlo (aceman2001) regarding ebay transaction #1833960446

Email/phone numbers have been changed to protect privacy of both parties, and quoting of previous email and some headers were removed to shorten the length of this document.

Transaction was for a "Triumph TR 3 TR 3A 3B Tonneau cover", but that's not what arrived at my house.

It's worth noting that his phone number that he gave me was never answered and the answering machine was full and wouldn't take messages.

Also note the dates on his messages, regularly claiming that he'll refund my money, but never actually doing it for almost two months even though payment was through paypal.

Finally, note that of his 359 feedback received, 23 of them were negative, with comments such as "buyer beware!.. a conman!" and "This guy is a liar!" "said he sent payment 3 diff times..never recieved" "repeatedly lied and strung me along" "THIEF,don't send money!" "I'm getting an attorney." "GROSS MISREPRESENTATION - BUYERS BEWARE" with even some positive feedback comments as "VERY frustrating. AVOID." and best of all, he's no longer a registered user as of 2003 (presumably because of too much negative feedback).
