Watch out for this guy!! I contacted David on a Cruiser pedal he had for sale in June of 2008. I offered to pay with paypal but he claimed he didn't have a paypal account. So I sent him a Postal Money order. A week later I sent hima an email to see if he received it and he said yes he did and that he would send me the Pedal. A few weeks went by and Nothing. I sent him several emails to see if I could get a update and never heard back. I have all the emails to show that I tried to get in touch with him. I recently noticed he was selling on here again and I sent him a email about my pedal. He claims he shipped it out but has no proof since he moved to florida. I told David I never received my pedal and he claims he shipped it,but doesnt have any proof since its been so long. I sent him several emails but he never replied... Use caution when buying from this guy..

David refunded me my payment for the 3-spoke horn button I really wanted and was lost in transit. If it does happen to show up I will be more than happy to resend him the payment he deserves for it. People who come clean like this are worth dealing with again in my book. Sorry that our first transaction did not go as smooth as we both would have wanted....

Too bad, I never got mine. $500.

He stiffed me on a refund. AVOID David9, unless you have the item in your hand directly from him.

David put an ad up on the Samba for a 1947 Beetle Chassis for $750. He had pics of a chassis with surface rust and the pans were gone(removed). I knew it had surface rust, but was told it had no rot. In approx June 2006, I paid him a $250 deposit. I was supposed to pick it up at Bug Jam in Nov 2006. Approx Aug 2006, he emailed me and stated that he wanted another $250, I do not remember the reason, but I sent it to him.

When I went to pick it up, it was a mess, with holes in the bottom of the center channel, cancer throughout and just junk. I asked him if it was the same one as the pics he sent and he said "Yes, but the pics were old." I told him that the chassis wasn't useable and that I didn't want it. He told me, in the presence of my wife, that he would give me a refund when he got home and that there was another buyer. We agreed and left on good terms.

One month went by with no refund. He told me he was short on cash because of Christmas and would pay me afterword. Two, three, four months went buy and no refund. Then he told me that after he got his tax refund, he would pay me. NOPE

In August, I called him, not too happy, and he told me he just sent a refund and to look in the mail (Nice). NEVER GOT IT! Called him about it and he swore that he sent the Money Order that he got from Seven Eleven. I said "Great, then you can provide me the M.O. number so it can be tracked." That is when I caught him in the LIE. He told me he lost the attached stub and did not sent it tracked, but then got angry when I informed him that finding the numbers were easy. Go to the store you got it from and ask them for the record of the purchase and that the original was lost (it was supposedly in my name, I never got it and it was never cashed.) It went downhill from there with excuse after excuse.

Then he stopped returning my phone calls, emails and avoided me at Rare and Unique's party, Bulli and Bugjam.

He is a Class "A" LIAR , FRAUD and Kharma will get him. I have swallowed the loss till now, but will now not let it go.

My name is Stanley J Conord, I live in New Jersey. My Kharma and honor are not in question. My member name is sconord and have been a member of CJVWS for 5 years in good standing. If he is any bit of a man, he will email me, IM me, or call me. My phone number and address have not changed. (David's has multiple times. Any wonder why???)

But in seeing how he has done others, I doubt he will man up to actually doing the right thing. I am calling him out on this.

It's okay, I can collect If I don't receive the item or get a refund

[napat]

Been reading bad comments for David. I could say I m so frightened about buying stuff from him as I live very far away from US.

Finally, I got what I want David is a stand up guy. He reply me every single e-mail before and after I brought stuffs from him.

I m not hesitate to put positive feedback to David. He's better than a rip off guy I just disputed in paypal 10 days ago.

Thanks David!

David Payne is a real PAIN !
Constant NEGATIVE FEEDBACK !
Automatically decline Buying or Selling from him, Not Welcome Here !
Contacted me on an item I had "For Sale" here on theSamba, information was exchanged, he assured me that money will be sent, 10 days later still no payment, contacted him several times with no response.
His FEEDBACK speaks for itself.

[myklsmyth]

Well he's at it again. Add me to the list of people that have gotten ripped off by this guy. I bought a heater knob for my bug and paid him via paypal on 11/22/10. Never got it. So I emailed him on 12/8/10 and asked for a status. He said he was out of town and that it was boxed and ready to go. No problem, I thought I would cut him some slack cause its the holidays.

Emailed him on 12/22/10 still no part. He says,

On 12/22/10, David Payne<[email protected]> wrote:I sent that thing out awhile back. Let me see whats up and I will get back to you.

I thanked him and he said it was not problem and that he thought I got it already.

On 12/30/10 I replied,

Not sure if you're out of town. Sent you an email a couple days ago. I still have never received this heater knob. Do you have any info from the post office.?
Thanks,

Mike

On 12/30/10 he replied,

Yes I am out of town for the holidays and why the heck would I screw you over a 5 dollar item? The item was sent out awhile back and I can not find the delivery tracking number so I will just refund your money. Im sorry you didn't receive your item. Can you please send me your paypal address and I will send the funds back your way.

Thanks, David

Sent from my HTC on the Now Network from Sprint!

On 12/31/10 I replied with my paypal account and that was the end of the communication. If you have read any of the feedback, which I unfortunately did not do until AFTER I had a problem, which is my fault, then you will see a pattern. He has always sent it, he never has any documentation for money received or packages sent, and it's always someone else's fault. Unfortunately for you David, I keep all of my emails until I get my item and you're an idiot for not keeping documentation for things that you "supposedly" sent as it is the only proof that you sent it. But I think that is the way you like it...no paper trail...no proof...your word against someone else's and we know your word is golden.

His word means nothing to me, what he says he rarely ever does and David before you come in here and say how you handled the situation correctly, stop. You did nothing of what you said you were going to do. The fact that I have to post this on here is ridiculous but I do it only so that anyone else that thinks of buying from you, should not! I even gave you a chance to make this right as, if you remember, I said I don't want to post negative feedback so I am giving you a chance to rectify this through email first.

I read previous posts that say David is a stand up guy, blah, blah, blah. If by stand up you mean bails on 4 out of 5 transactions, then I would agree. He is anything but stand up.

Stand up is me purchasing the knob from EverettB, that I should have gotten from David, and it goes like this,

"Everett, I want to buy the knob how much for shipping", Everett, "$20 total", Me, "Payment sent via paypal", Everett, "I will ship it out today", that all happened in a span of 3 hours...today...and it's done.

If you choose to buy from him then its your fault, because I will never do business with him again.

[myklsmyth]

David refunded my money, but I stand by the feedback I posted. This was a bad transaction.

[sconord]

Some things never change- David.

I purchased a re-pop engine lid hold arm as it was described to be in good order. when I got it the tab was broken off and missing I let David know and he refunded the full purchase price including the shipping! I did not expect the shipping refund as I honestly believe he was not aware that the item was damaged. I expected to meet halfway on this one. Even though the guy has some negative feedback this was pretty cool of him. Too many times I buy stuff on the the samba classifieds and in some way I get the short end of the stick. It was nice to get treated right this time and not get burnt.
