Do not do business with Danny, it is a scam. I paid the $30 on Wednesday, and just in case PayPal didn't provide my address, including telephone number, sent it in an email. He called 2 August, Wednesday, at 12.06, using a number of 496-7605 to let me know he had the address.

Now tells me not going to be sending the flywheel lock as did not provide an address. I get just $500 in SSI, so this loss of $30 is a lot (being nice and not had a bad experience here, I used friends and family). More importantly, delays getting Ruby on the road and needed to get done next week, which thanks to Danny is not going to happen.

Using Pay Pal "Friends and Family" is never a good idea when not gifting money to another person.

As a seller there is a fee, suck it up as a cost of doing business. Using Pay Pal gets you paid quicker and it gives you discounted shipping though Pay Pal with USPS and UPS, it also prints a shipping label and you get free boxes from USPS.

I sell using Pay Pal and accept payment at face value and use "Goods and Services", buyers benefit as they get tracking numbers and buyer protection. I refuse to pay with FF and when asked to pay fees I pass on the purchase. I am not going to pay a fee on both ends of a transaction.

Pay Pal wins as there can be no dispute because you paid to a Friend or Family. Come on people ads here are free and unless you donate with every sale you're conducting business with no costs.

This is not attacking any seller as many sellers use this practice, but as they say let the buyer beware.

you can still file a claim if you use friends and family and as long as you have documentation you will get a refund and they will kick the dick square off anyone using friends and family to run a business

This guy Adriel Rowley is a strange one. I have about 15 emails from him. I use stamps.com for shipping, it didn’t recognize his numerals to his address. I asked him for it. I emailed him at 7:30 am and he didn’t reply. So he missed my shipping day. After 15 emails from him I refunded his money. Advoid this strange guy. BEWARE

What don’t you understand? I asked if the numerals to your address was correct. You didn’t answer but sent 15 emails talking shit to me. I don’t need your headaches so I refunded you money. Buy from someone else. This guy tells me he autistic, I believe that’s the problem. Seller’s beware. This guy is crazy. Im tired of his stupid emails. I refuse to sell to him. Move on and buy from someone else

Pay Pal when properly used has the customers address automatically. Plus the fact that you ship at a discounted rate and gives automatic tracking numbers.

Just add the charge into your price and if someone pays you by check or cash you make an extra 2.5 %.

Have you used Pay Pal shipping? their rates are better than most and you don't have to export an address into a different field and constantly end up with this frustration level.

This seems to be a constant point of frustration and maybe a small change might make your life better.

Danny spent time making sure we both were on same page about what I needed and what he had on hand. Even tho I messed up the payment info, Danny got the parts to me within the week. Thanks Danny!

I ordered the rear window for my single cab from DannyZ. Great communication and care in packaging the glass to make the trip across the country. Very much appreciated!

Danny sucks. Always did, always will.

I put a WTB ad up last week searching for a part. It was for a deluxe strip on an early bay bus, nothing particularly consequential considering what I've been through with the bus. The existing slider door strip was messed up when a sixty foot tree crashed down on my son's bus while he was sleeping inside when a natural disaster hit in the middle of night over three years ago. He is very lucky to be alive. After restoration this decorative tchotchke is likely the last part he needs to complete the project. In chimes Danny. He writes that he has it. I think about how I want to reply since I've had bad dealing with him in the past. I sleep on it. With hopes he has grown testicles I later write to him suggesting he send photos and price. I expect selective photos of a part to be paid friends and family. He can't even do that - instead just sends price. He simply wants to get a sense whether I'll consider that much money without photos. He's like, Sent price, if it's to [sic] expensive no need for photos.

I know Danny's shit. He likes to talk on the phone in hopes you'll become PayPal friends and family. I have no time for long winded low life phone sex with him about the shit he owns [or rather, trying to flip]. I've been through it once and it was boring. It was several years ago when he posted an ad for an NOS brake drum. He sent it, though obviously used, and OVER the factory spec which had been measured by my trusted machinist in my town. A week after major back surgery, my son drove me down to the machinist, carried the drum for me, the whole nine yards. Even with photos taken at the machinist's place Danny didn't believe it so Everett got involved. After days of Danny bitching and moaning to Everett using his other personality ..long, long story short I got my money back plus shipping both ways but I have since had contempt for this rodent. I followed his feedback to see how people made out and much of that being similar to what happened with me. But I kept my mouth about my experience until this brat Danny answered my WTB ad, and told me if I couldn't afford his price then I get no photos. I let him know he is an arrogant little prick, to which he replies fuck off. Bottom line: I never want anything with his scuzzy fingerprints on it. Avoid, don't even get started.

What a cry baby. Trying to help him and he talks shit. Like I always say I might be stubborn but im not a thief. Replied to his ad trying to help him. He asked for a photo, gave him a price and asked if it was to expensive then there’s no need for a photo. He relied i was an arrogant little prick. I replied F__k you. No problem someone else will buy it. Good luck

[stevo]

Thirty-some pages of someone is a crybaby. I stand with all those who can't understand Danny is just a great guy. Pendejo take your help then shove it high and hard. Get a job, get a life. If you're going to sit all day on WTB ads get a real PayPal account in your name and pay taxes like the rest of the grown men with reasonable testicles. Otherwise objectively speaking you come off as an air-cooled sleazy predator.

I bought a stove stand from Danny last week. Smooth and easy transaction! It actually showed up sooner than I thought it would and was in great shape. Thanks Danny!

Greeting fellow VW pilots & mechanics, sellers, scammers, & whores,

I have loved every post on here defaming DannyZ & come up with same conclusion "what a bunch of bitches" In 45 years of VW its nice to see some of you have NOT grown up.

I owe my soul to Danny & Martha. My first bus was purchased in 1985, 1963 vw Kombi, missing middle seat. Still think when D flipped this bus he kept middle seat....who cares $900 bucks. Danny wanted $1,000. I said hell no, your high! He is 7 years my senior & we grew up in ghetto of South Gate.

For the next 3 years I was Danny student & parts stealer from pic a part salvage yards. Why pay $2.73 cents for 1959 bus window handle when I can put it in my socks, so we will have enough money for gas & taco bell.

I lost track of Danny after I went to Desert Storm. 3o years later dealing with suicidal thoughts from 7414 hours of air ambulance flying... I decided to give my life to God.

I saw an add in the samba for a 1970 TinTop westy in San Bernardino. I drove from Boise, Idaho set on starting a better life & getting back to the fun things in life. I was SHOCKED beyond belief to be standing in front of Danny 30 years later & 100 pounds heavier. I talked to him for an hour before he figured out who I was. So happy to see him, a lot grayer & a little shorter.

Here is what is helpful when dealing with Danny, RESPECT gets a lot Done & yes mistakes happen. He has over 3 huge wearhouses full of everything VW & then some, fabric, toys, wheels, buses bugs, too much to comprehend unless you see it. Ive found it best to go to shop when he invites you. Danny is very busy with Doctors at this time & he works hard to get his orders right & off in mail.

Ive very proud of him & his family. He has come a long way from meeger beginnings. The VW community is lucky to have him. I totally understand things get messed up, but for heavens sake we have to stop letting UPS, USPS, FEDEX get richer by mistakes. Chances are if he sent wrong parts, then I suggests you flip them for more money & stop being a bunch of little cunts. I love you all, & we need each other. Good vibes, make for good times. Lets get are buses running best & see each other at shows & camp outs. Apologize for my harsh & cruel words.

I’ve been dealing with Danny for over a decade and Every transaction has gone smooth as silk. I may not get the discount or any discount for that matter but if you want the parts that he has you pay his price and everyone’s happy. For someone complaining about a $30 part….. i’m sure I could help clear up any misunderstanding shit I’ll even give you 30 bucks back, your feedback isn’t gonna break Danny or hurt his business at all!!! Danny is very black and white there’s never been a misunderstanding between the two of us I consider him a valuable wealth of knowledge in vws…. When you’re ordering a part don’t expect to get it like Amazon the next day these are vintage parts and we are vintage dude’s, Mahalo peace and love👊

I have known Danny for close to 15 years now. He has sold me many parts to complete my VW's. I have never had any issues with any parts that he sold me. He is a wealth of knowledge on vintage VW's. His knowledge and information has helped me to save time and money while restoring my VW. I consider him a good friend and my brother.

I believe that all people have had different experiences with negotiating price, payment, and delivery of parts with Danny. He is pretty straight forward with what he wants for his parts. Do you go to Walmart and ask if they will take less for what they are asking for what you want to buy? Danny has spent over forty years of time acquiring his parts.

Parts for our vehicles are going up and getting rarer to find. I have seen in person how people act when they hear the price of the part they want from Danny. It can be great or your out of your mind. I guess it would be hard having to deal with so many people at shows that don't really know the VW scene and how expensive certain rare parts can be. Danny has many rare parts that he has to answer a ton of questions about. I'm glad that he knows exactly which parts work for which year VW.

Don't let the negative posts get to you. If you don't like the price or the person, just walk away. Thank you Danny for all the part's and your friendship for all these years
