BEWARE! E-Bay seller wwwmidwestmustangnet

I bought a complete set of SN95 brakes from this guy and got damaged product. I sent him two e-mails, the first one very inquireing as to what he was going to do about it. Here is his reply to my second e-mail. I paid within 5 minutes of auction end, also.

This is the first email we have received from you. Negative feedback never

threatens us, I >could care less. You would receive negative back from us, so no problem for us. Now >back to business. It is best to purchase new dustshields or use the brakes without them. It >is near impossible to get nice dust shields. They are thin and take lots of abuse.

>thanks, Terry >Midwest Mustang >

Of course he uses an AOL account for his "business". Takes an AOL user to suggest not using the dust shields. :-/

Well Jason, there are a few things you can do. First, if you paid by credit card, file a dispute. Second, go to Ebay and tell them what has happened. it's a pain in the ass, but if the product was misrepresented you should have some ground to stand on. Third, hunt the little sonofabitch down and shove the defective parts up his ass.

if you paid via PayPal and bought the buyer's insurance, again if the items were misrepresented or damaged in transit, they amy be able to halp you

If the items were damaged by the carrier, and they were insured, place a claim.

All of these suggestions are going to be a real pain in the butt, but if you have the fortitude to fight for what you think is right, you may just be able to get the matter resolved.

Easy now, one of the best people you could ever do business with in the Mustang world uses an AOL account. He is also a member of this NG.

I'm curious - how were they damaged? Did you buy them used, or were they advertised as new?

I'm tellin ya, I now know why my ears were burning this morning :-)

For me it is ease of use to dump all my mail into one spot. I think....err, I know you can't judge a person or a business simply by their web service provider or E-mail account. I do ALOT of traveling with my daughter for her gymnastic competitions and its nice knowing I can log on from just about anywhere I may be, slowly... but I can log on.

Jason, The dust shields are made of tin and 90% of the time will be bent. While I always spend the time straightening them and packaging them well prior to shipment most do not. It is very easy to pull the small bolts that attach the plates to the spindle and using a small ballpeen hammer to straighten them out. I have dealt with Terry in the past and despite your problems he is an honest guy. While I can't say I agree with the communication or responses, I do know this happens. I personally choose to clean and detail all parts prior to shipping, I am one of the few that does. If you would have purchased these from a wrecking yard as a walk in, more than likely they would be bent as well and would need to be straightened.

Tim,

You could use webmail w/ PonyPerformance.com given your webhost provides it. If you ever need hosting just lemme know... I run a dedicated server & run some sites for business & a couple for some closer friends.

Hmmm...they don't look bad to me. A little Navel Jelly brushed on will remove the rust, followed by a nice coat of high-temp paint. I'd toss the brake lines and pads, but the rest looks pretty sound to me; not a bad price either.

Maybe it's just me, but when you buy used goodies off eBay, one must expect it to need a good scrubbing before it can be used.

I do indeed my webmail through my website. I have a dedicated website E-mail for vendors and commercial accounts. For all other correspondence I use the forwarding feature to forward all website E-mail to AOL.

Yeah, the price was fair. Plus they are the 94-95's, the best ones for Fox upgrades (I get out of newbie phase quick). But the dust shields are trashed. I guess the reason why I am so miffed about it is because I bought a set of rears from another guy (boltbug71), and these things were

*lovingly* packaged, clean, etc. The fact that the other dude was so fscking rude to me didn't help matters. I'm very picky about how I sell on E-Bay and I guess I expect the same from others. I'm putting up my '97 Impreza (33k miles) in a few days, I'll pop a link in here so you guys can see what I mean. (Plus for a shameless plug)

I've bought stuff from them (Midwest) and had no problems at all. The stuff came clean and packed well.
