Help needed in New Jersey!
I recently sold my AMG 22in wheels and tires (link below) to a Chandra Sarkar of Scotch Plains, NJ on ebay (user casp2011), after a month from shipping the wheels in 32inx32inx12in boxes (90lbs) each he claims they were never delivered. UPS and their gps tracking say otherwise. He filed a claim on ebay stating they were never delivered. Ebay sided with him, now he gets to keep the rims, my money and I am out shipping costs as well! I am in need of help to see if anyone can spot this guy with these rims and tires or see if anything like them is coming up for sale in the NJ area.
UPS and I advised him to file a police report, to my knowledge he has not. I am at wits end with this guy and ebay. He did not try at all to help resolve this issue. A little backstory before he purchased them, he stated he would have to find a backspacing adapter to fit his car (unfortunately he never told me but I assume a GL). So I can guess he never found the correct spacer and instead of trying to contact me to return the wheels, he wanted to keep them (to resell) and get his money back. I don't even know what to do with ebay. I provided them every document I had access to and UPS was more than willing to provide whatever they could. So buyer be ware to not purchase from casp2011!

You have no idea what car he tried to put them on?
Also he's selling a lot of wheels on eBay which is kinda shady. I don't see them on craigslist but he can easily offload them to a local store...there are many in the area that would take them.

I believe a GL, maybe a 450. I am not exactly sure and can't remember our phone conversation. He is failing to file a police report and I can't because I'm out of state, in NO.
yes I know, I think he buys an sells them. So it's a matter of time before they appear if he doesn't want them.

Sorry about your situation and I don't mean to lecture, but next time and every time after:
Always set up your eBay items being sold to ship using UPS only and UPS insured for the full selling price plus the shipping charges & insurance costs. I charge an extra flat fee for this over the standard "by weight & package size" fee. Most importantly the shipment must be set up in advance for an ADULT SIGNATURE REQUIRED. Or the package(s) don't leave the UPS truck. I have had several buyers try to back out of that very important requirement giving all kinds of excuses why they won't be there, someone else is living at that address...the excuses go on & on. If they can't somehow in the end have it delivered ADULT SIGNATURE REQUIRED to a specific home or business address linked to there eBay account, then it can be rerouted to a nearby UPS Store and they will have to sign for it there. Plus pay an additional $15 UPS fee for re-routing. Follow these shipping requirements and they will have a harder time to claim "I never got it" plus having the the shipping insurance with UPS is worth the extra few dollars you have to pay them.
Hope you get it sorted out.
