Sending money via PayPal as a gift does not screw anybody out of anything. All it does is transfer the fees from one person to the other. In this case, you would be paying the PayPal fees instead of Don.


I agree. sending as a "gift / friend /family" (which ever button paypal has up) is not an issue.

Paypal is not "brokering" any of the transactions, they don't take the pics or market the items, they are just a middleman looking to get a piece of everyones deals.

sellers are here in a tight group selling specifically to a small group of VW enthusiast. One could say we are all "friends" in the VW community.

Paypal does nothing to support a seller.
If we send you an item and you don't like, your able to complain, send it back, and get reimbursed fully.
We lose.
No one pays us back our time to package or our shipping costs for your "looking at or seeing if it's good enough for you"

Having you pay as "gift /friend" is our protection. It safe guards us from "paying" for you to look, touch, tire kick.

Sure there are some out there that will scam you..but there are buyers out there that know how to scam as well..

I had a guy steal 15" date stamped bus wheels from me through a paypal transaction.
He simply made a paypal complaint claiming they were not correct, placed bug wheels in the boxes and send that back. All he had to do was show paypal shipping something back and about the same weight.
Paypal was useless in protecting my interests, yet they are more than willing to take a portion of every sale made.

I lost $360 on that Scam!!!!

My advice:
If your not comfortable making a transaction long distance without the recourse to get your money back if your not happy, get in a car or on a plane and GO MAKE THE TRANSACTION IN PERSON.

Purchased an old Holley intake manifold from Don. Was a little concerned at first when I noticed it in the box with no padding, but there was no damage. Another satisfied customer. Thanks, Don.

Few days ago I received an empty package from the USA here in Germany.
So he dumped me and just took my money for an old hegglin oil filter system.
Maybe some knows the guy and help.....

If I understand you correctly you are saying you bought something and received an empty package.

I would email Don and ask for assistance.
Did the box arrive damaged or open?
He would not do this on purpose so this may be a situation where you will have to file for the shipping insurance.

Hi, I paid Don for tracked package. After a while I asked him for the tracking number twice. He did not answer. The reason is that used a cheap trackless service for almost half the price. I am really disappointed by his practice. Have bought several times from the US and it haven't happened before. So I hope that Don is thinking and worrying about his reputation as a trusted seller.
And yes, I wrote him emails before going public.

So thanks Mr. DONALD HEIGHT : no tracking number, no damage, no insurance, no part that I paid for but less money!!

I understand what you are saying but all international packages from the USA have a tracking # and automatic insurance.

But this is not full tracking and not full insurance if it was a valuable item so you have a legitimate complaint if you requested and paid for those shipping upgrades.

Hopefully he will respond to you and solve these issues.

Bought a bay shifter extension from Don. Great communication. The part arrived today in great shape, well packed, very fast shipping. Couldn't be happier.

Thanks Don.

Bugstar, are you serious? Do you thing I would take the time to ship you a empty box all the way to Germany. COME ON MAN! Sounds like your neighbor or your customs agent got you, but I will do my part to find out what happened. Lets start at the top. What part did your order and what is your full name and shipping address. I never got a email from you saying you got a empty box. Please email me directly at [email protected]. thanks

Gotta go with vwcru on this one- as I sent a package thru Phoenix that languished for 4 days till Fed-ex started an investigation then it miraculous reappearance on to address was an empty box. SO shit happens and I was out the cost. BUT there was LOTS of communication and work went into it- not just a bad posting on feedback- so get with the program Bugstar-

Hi Don,
I sent you an email, again. Actually it is not my way to go public, but an empty box and no shipping insurane for an internationall package, doesn't look fine.
I paid 40$ for the item +25$ for the tracked package. You wrote on the package that it has a total value of 5$.
Your reaction to ignore my email is also not the best way.
But at least you are interested in having a good reputation here on Samba.
Hope you think about a solution!
Fabian

In good faith I have refunded Bugstar70 in FULL for his part and shipping costs. This is the first time I have had parts ( hi jacked) in mid shipping, but I guest it's a first time or everything. I don't fault anyone but the person who took the part. No hard feelings Bugstar70. Don

I have bought from Don a few different times. I bought a shifter extension and a couple of radio knob sets. Everything has been great, nice packaging, quick shipping, and I hope to buy from Don again. Thank you!
