He changed the email in his account to a garbage email. This deactivated his account.

I took this as a sign that he no longer wanted to sell on the site (since no once can email him) and removed all his ads.

What are the odds??!!! I contacted a seller on Ebay regarding shipping the item to Canada. I'll give 2 POS tires to the first person to guess who the response was from. No other than Mr Jordan Cyr himself. What kind of luck do I have? I can't shake this idiot.

What was the seller name?

It's parts4yourvw just like I added to the title of the thread.

I didn't even look at the name of the person holding the auction. I just found the item, noticed a decent feedback rating, asked the seller a question, and forgot about it. It wasn't until the reply came back that I clued into the email address.

Oh. I thought maybe he was using multiple IDs.

You could have found better tires at a boat dock!!! Maybe the guy that sold them has poor eyesight..or his definition of not cracked means a rat can't fall thru them. ...If you need a pair that look just like them....I just bought a bunch of old Ghias that have some just like those....and I can "duct tape box" them. Seriously...I have an old MG with near perfect 15inch tires...same as a bug. Free....pay shipping....have a close-by Samba guy come buy my shop and look at them....there are a few around town here that know me.

Were you dropped as a baby?!

Be careful what you accuse other people of. If you think that I sit around at night thinking of ways to make your life any worse than it already is, your sadly mistaken.

The administrator of the site pulled your ads. Jordan, If you can't read, find someone who can help you.

Did I point fingers? I said I know who it was. Thats my knowledge. Next question, Can you read?

Someone broke in my account wise ass, and changed my email address and preferences and PM'd Ev and told him to delete all my ads. I couldn't log in for a few days. All my ads were gone and on top of that he didn't believe me. I am just getting to the point were I listed my ads back and finally taking a break from it all, changed the passwords, etc.

But YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE, and I know to now. Seriously pal-- there's consequences for breaking in my account--- it wasn't funny.

That is shitty.

Now, how bout that refund.

As far as I know no one can "break into your account". Even if someone was able to hack into the database, the passwords are encrypted so it's not like they could just read it.

Someone could have your password, if you gave it to them. Or they could have guessed it?

I wouldn't make accusations unless you have proof.

I was just talking to Envious and he knows I don't mean him. I am not 100% sure right now, but I am 99.99---
Need that extra .01 I guess. I know it wasn't Envious anyway.

My password wasn't that hard to guess, and for anyone that knows me it was pretty simple. Course, its changed now-- but its just the fact what they did pissed me off---

Jordan sent a partial refund equal to the selling price of the tires plus $13 towards the original $40 shipping. He doesn't want the tires back.

Fri Feb 25, 2005 9:38 pm

Glad we could come up with a agreement Envious.

Jordan, there wasn't an "agreement" I took all of the money that you would offer me. I wanted the whole $70, you only offered $40, I took it. Better that than nothing at all.

You and I are done.

Your refund has been donated to thesamba.com

Thanks Everett

Jordan, props to you. I really thought you were gonna skate. Glad you and Envious worked things out.
