Hi Andy,
I have emailed you a couple of times since your reply. I am coming on here in hopes of getting a reply before I move on to the next step. Which I would hate to do. You have my email and my order # is VPIH-083749. I will try calling you as well which is an avenue I haven't tried.


EDIT

Tried calling you. no luck

So I have filed a dispute with PayPal. Still no response from Andy either to me or PayPal. Unfortunately I would not recommend this seller. I held out hope but at this point it's pretty clear I'm not getting the parts.

Since he hasn't visited in 2 months, I also removed the one ad he had running

Everett, Just an FYI he has active ads up again and I'm having a similar issue with him not returning email and Instagram messages. Here is my current experience with littlebuggie (aka Subisquared, aka andy)

So here's my cautionary story about this guy so far (I'm giving it a day or so before i file a paypal claim against him to get my money back and hopefully put his funds on hold until he answers everyone he's ignoring back.)

July 27th
Found this guy on instagram (subisquared) through another guy i follow, he has some sweet subaru engine hangers for bolting into Type 3.

Asked him how to order (notice down the way there was another person asking where their product was, didn't see that until later)

Ordered maybe moments later. paid with paypal because i like the protection from scammers and it has my verified address something i use all the time and have never had issues with.

these are pictures from his website https://subisquared.bigcartel.com/products

seems reasonable, looks like he's actually trying to run a small business (paypal receipt comes back as McCarthys Balancing aka [email protected])

August 10th (~2 weeks after purchase)
Okay, shortly after buying the hanger through his website I messaged him just to get a general timeline as i'm in and out for work typically.
He states he just cut a batch of them and should be able to ship them out Monday (no worries there)

Now it's been almost a month since i last heard from him, I'm giving him a few days to respond to my message before i submit a paypal dispute with all the documentation I've gathered.


Honestly I'd like to think he means well but I'm losing faith this guy isn't just stealing money based on the things i've been hearing and the fact he's still very active on instagram with his recent VW BBQ he designed and created. Incidently I found this phone number tied to his subisquared (andy) account on https://zamaye.com/user/subisquared 209.324.2352 (left a voicemail asking for followup and letting him know i will be submitting a paypal dispute on Monday 9/9/19


I will follow up with details as they occur, I'm hoping this gathering of information is found by others to avoid the same issues.[/b]

That is basically how my transaction with him went down too. I even tried calling him but if I remember correctly the # doesn't work. I got my money returned by paypal thankfully as it seems he never even replied to them either. really an unfortunate transaction since I had really hoped to put his hi torque starter adapters to work and potentially ordered many more than my original order of 5.

Having attempted to contact him a few times through paypal I ended up submitting my escalation with Paypal. I see no chance of him owning up to things at this point having not heard back from him since August 10th.

Disappointing to say the least

Ultimately he never responded to Paypal so I was refunded. It'll be the last I speak of it.
