:D Fellow VDubbers, WTF is this about Ivan? I bought my first part from him a month ago on Ebay a $200 item. I just purchased $400 worth of parts off of Samba last week. I have found Ivan's communication to be impeccable, not to mention his lightning fast shipping twice from CA to NJ both times in a week flat. Once USPS and the other FedEx. Second order was OEM glass and got here without a problem due to his superior packing and boxing. I have been away from the VW scene since 1986 and have forgotten a few things that I use to know. Ivan took the time on several occasions to write me very lengthy emails to re-educate me and never steered me wrong. I have found him to be a very honest and good hearted person and I will bring all my part needs to him first from now on. I am very pleased with his actions and would recommend him to anyone on Samba. I maybe a newbie to this site, but I know good people when I come across them and trust me, Ivan is a very good man. Don't hesitate to do business with this great guy. :D

"Don't hesitate to do business with this great guy."

X2

I've had many, MANY dealings with Ivan and found him to be honest and generous and a pleasure to know and do business with at every turn.

It's now gotten so that payment, shipping, etc. is left open. When it happens, it happens, and trust is never an issue.

Honest and straightforward in every way. VERY surprising to hear otherwise ! ! !

I bought a windshield from Ivan for my Karmann Ghia. He had to ship the windshield three times due to miscommunication on the part and damage in transit. He did all this without hassle including return shipping, shipping to several addresses, etc. I can say that he bent over backwards to make sure I was satisfied with the deal.
Thanks Ivan.

Got a pair of chrome trims for a 59 Ghia. Shipped super fast from CA to NY. Good communication too. Would recommend Ivan.

I ordered a set of his ghia side body moldings with clips. Within 30 minutes of sending funds via pay pal I hade a tracking number! wow! talk about fast, it only took 3 days and it was at my door! parts were nice. I would recommend him to anyone! past president of the vintage Volkswagen club of America for 5 years.

I bought a 56-59 OEM Ghia tail light bulb holder from Ivan and it was exactly as he depicted. He was fast on emails and quick to ship out. He boxed the bulb holder with plenty of bubble wrap and plastic peanuts to make sure it arrived safe and sound. We should all learn from him how to properly pack items for shipping our precious parts. Thanks Ivan!!

Ivan bought some parts from me. He knew just what he was looking for.
I provided payment instructions & he followed them to a t.
I highly recommend Ivan as a buyer.
Thanks Ivan!

Just purchased a tail light lens from Ivan. Came quickly, well packaged and a reasonable price. I would do business with him again.

This guy bids on ebay, doesn't pay, doesn't respond then leaves you negative feedback. Obvious scammer, dishonest and for what?

Mon Jul 30, 2018 10:33 pm

Please post the details or a link to the eBay auction/feedback

only communication we had was after he didnt pay, didnt communicate, and left the feedback he said "OK fine" along with the payment. note the date of payment. I believe he just wanted to ruin my feedback. Also notice different last names, different addresses. Guy seems elusive.

Tue Jul 31, 2018 5:36 pm

Thanks for adding more info.

I would contact eBay - this sounds like something you could get removed.
I thought people on eBay couldn't leave feedback now until the order arrived?

Ivan. Please check your emails. Mark in Florida as I have a question and problem I need you to fix. Thanks
