Advice re: partsbin.com order (brake sys related)
I have a dilemma with thepartsbin.com about my recent online order done 11/24/09. I ordered Zimmerman front and rear rotors, akebono rear ceramic brake pads and hawk ceramic brake pads.
I paid using paypal and even confirmed if the order was processed via chat with a partsbin online support cust service.
This afternoon, partsbin called me and said they did not receive a payment from paypal thus canceling my orders. I check paypal and there was no transaction made with partsbin. So, they asked me if I want to pay using my credit card so I said yes but the problem was, the Hawk Ceramic front Brake Pads are already out of stock and they cant find a ceramic brake pad that will fit an amg brake system or even price match a different brand.
What do you think should I do, I got an order number from partsbin so that means my order was properly placed the first time but I did not get a transaction number from paypal. I know they messed up the order and now, the hawks are out of stock. Who should I go after? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Not much you can do, assuming you received all your funds back or your funds were never sent, no damage was done.
PayPal will always send a transaction number via e-mail if a payment was sent or received.
You can wait until they have stock again or move onto another company, not much to go after.

I was afraid Im gonna see this answer. I just probably cant accept the fact that I was screwed. Ive been driving with my brake warning light on for about 500 miles now and now I have to wait 6-7 more days for shipping.
I just dont understand how partsbin didnt get the money from paypal, I dont have any pending transactions so I know I have funding.
