Thumbs down Buyers Beware Having Bad Experience

I won an item from jkmoring about 1 week ago. I have'nt received any response on item by e-mail or by phone. I paid in full very bad business. Guys beware in dealing w/them.

I'm sorry that you fell victim to their questionable business practice. Personally, I would not have touched that auction, given the fact that the seller had a 10 out of 100 track record for unsatisfied customers in the last month+.

You can file a dispute through ebay and see what happens. To be totally protected I usually don't pay for anything I win on ebay without Paypal. Paypal protects you up to $500 bucks and you can also buy insurance from them for really cheap on your transactions for a complete moneyback guarantee on more expensive items.

Remember people, pay attention to sellers feedbacks on ebay! I bought from jkmotoring last year and they were fast with the shipping but they didn't have the negative feedback they have now. They probably can't handle their growth and that's unfortunate...

Twice I had excellent service from these guys. However, there's another one with lots of M-B stuff that is another story! (I won't name him until I actually get what I ordered...) I guess you just never know on eBay.

It's a nice trick. You gain a good feedback from beginning, to deceive more people after.

I also had a good experience with this seller awhile back think it was the lighted mirror covers also! Sorry about the bad experience. Possible they don’t have the item on their shelves and relying on a drop ship. But that doesn’t explain why they aren’t returning your e-mail’s . I will be cautious of this seller thanks for the info.
