Bedford8526 - AVOID!!!!

[kent14sr]

I answered the ad for the following;

"1.4SR big valve head with solid lifters"

What I got was a C14SE head (standard) with corrosion on block face and knackered standard hydraulic lifters which took a week to turn up.

The guy apologised and said he knew nothing about Novas and the heads so a mate was coming to look at his other stuff to see if he sent wrong head . . if not then I would get a full refund. . .

A week later and a few reminders sure enough he said he sent the wrong head and correct one would be sent . . .

6 1/2 weeks since original transaction I am still waiting . . and the guy does not respond to texts or emails.

I am pretty annoyed I paid a decent amount for a standard (poor condition) head - tried to give the guy benefit of the doubt and nothing. Disappointing.

Cant as he requested paypal payment sent as a gift so dont think you can dispute it. My fault for agreeing but disappointing never the less!!

[brainsnova]

a gift avoids paypal fees, he should of known better to send parts he has no clue about.

[kent14sr]

You would think.

I am just annoyed I have been duped and gone along with his various requests for more time to . . allow a mate to check his other heads . . get his camera . . . check specs of head etc etc

I was quite specific with questions before I bought it and responses were 100% what I wanted then suddenly he knows nothing etc etc

never never never send as a gift

it may sould better but the paypal fees are only 3% or something along them lines

yeah only use the gift option for people you know/or have a proven trackrecord of being trustworthy. Its probably worth offering to pay the 3% fee on top instead if a seller asks for a gift payment, just to get the added protection.

learned the hard way on this one tbh

I am really disappointed as this guy appeared genuine, but I was definately taken for a ride!!!
