Word of Advise When Buying on this Forum

Mr.skytech · 03-03-2019, 10:52 AM

Not too long ago i came across a thread that offered all weather mats for the F15. I was in the market for a set so I decided to buy them.

Here is the thread I am talking about.

https://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1581166

I paid 80 shipped for them and they arrived pretty quick. However they are not for the F15, i have no clue which model they are for.

THEY DO NOT FIT AT ALL!!!

I contacted the seller and explained to him what I got wasn't what he advertised. I asked for my money back and offered to pay the return shipping. Something I shouldn't have to do since I was defrauded.

The seller didn't care to solve the issue and just ignored my later txts.

I would be very cautious in buying from G3333.

WARNING: MAKE SURE TO GET PICTURES FROM G3333 BEFORE BUYING ANYTHING FROM HIM.

Here are some pictures proving what I am saying.

I hope that G3333 decides to do the right thing and return me my money.

Are the pictures in the ad you linked the mats you thought you were getting?

Mr.skytech · 03-03-2019, 11:06 AM

No, he advertised two sets of mats. One was the all-weather ones and the other ones are the ones he posted a picture of.

I always find this funny when you can afford a X5M but can't get yourself to refund someone who isnt happy with what you sold.

The Libertine · 03-04-2019, 01:11 PM

Wow. That’s bad. I hope that seller will do right by you and refund your money.

iconoclast · 03-04-2019, 01:29 PM

Those look like 3series mats.

bagekko · 03-04-2019, 03:12 PM

My vote was that they are E70 mats.

I will look it up tomorrow morning.

jch1511 · 03-04-2019, 09:28 PM

Why does the part # even matter? They don't fit.

Clearly OP got ripped off by a dishonest seller who is not willing to make it right.

Mr.skytech · 03-05-2019, 07:18 AM

Took a picture this morning and will post it later today.

G3333 sold me mats for the F10 and not fo the F15. fraud!!

Mr.SkyTech can use the information to file a claim through whatever medium they paid. In addition they may want to resell them since they have no use for the item if they choose not to seek out filing a dispute through CC or PYPL.

How did you two complete the transaction?

Mr.skytech · 03-05-2019, 07:22 AM

They were bought via Paypal. i will see what i can do at this point. It's a matter of principle for me. i don't need to go through the trouble of selling them to someone else just to try and recuperate my money.

LocksmithNick · 03-05-2019, 09:38 AM

There’s gotta be more to this story

There isn't at all. I was in the market for those mats saw them here and got completely different model mats. Now i am stuck with these F10 mats.

His last activity is 26th Feb. Give him the benefit of doubt that he might be out of the country and no easy access to internet. Hopefully , he will chime in when he is back.

jch1511 · 03-05-2019, 11:33 AM

No need to make excuses for the seller. I guess $80 really made his day.

OP got no response that's why he is here to warn us.

He was not interested in fixing this. I contacted him via this forums message system and he just said that he can't help me.

Should i take screen shots of the whole conversation?
