sounds like he sent ya pm trying to fix the problem in a suitable way. But you didn't help out... So imop its a good thing he made this thread to warn others... Just because some dummy screwed you over in the past with the wrong part makes that ok to do to another member? Lol its retarded... Gove him his money back, find out what car that part number really fits and sell it again to someone that actually needs it. Simple fix.

Calling it a "scam" may be a bit harsh, but I agree. Berti, you are in the wrong here. It is immaterial that you bought the wrong part or got screwed buying a part. You can't just pass it along to the next guy. That's like the reverse of "pay it forward", its like "screw it forward". IMHO you are gonna lose this one.

I sold a e55 pump now I dont know if it has diff plugs or not.... I bought a e55 pump FROM THIS FORUM $250 and guess what I recieved a e63 pump that is completely different. Now whos stuck with it? ME!!! guy wouldnt even budge returning or explainng it. But I didnt sit on a damm forum crying and first thing you do is make a ****ing thread starting sh!!t without even first trying to handle it like a man and not like a high school kid.. who knows maybe you are one.. ive been on this forum years nd years buying selling dealin with fellow members I even bought my car from a member here without ever seeing the car nd you come along... u know what man if you acted more like a real man and not jumped to conclusion so quick and make a thread calling me a scamer and *****. I would of just returned your money but am too gona stick to all sales final too and think about it

Berti is a good man and seems to always be polite and helpful im sure this is frustrating coming on the forums and seeing a thread started about you (Berti) and not in a good way. That would tick a lot of people off but im sure he will do the right thing and bit the bullet and refund the man his money or at least figure out a solution to make the problem go away. Sucks though it had to come to this on for both forum members, Good luck Guys!!!!

This is why I hate buying on line without seeing the product.

You look like a complete a__hat coming on here and actually saying "whatsup man, long time no see" to someone else all while not taking care of the problem.

Berti... I really cant even imagine what your logical thinking could possibly be on this transaction. Step up and refund him his money. An eye for an eye when he wasnt the one that burned you in the 1st place is not how business or LIFE for that matter is done.

Seller has to "man up." It doesn't matter if you're a long time member or not.

I have received a text from Albert saying that he will refund my money "in a few weeks". Not exactly what I had in mind but it is a start. Until I receive the refund I hold my position and will certainly not do business this way again. As some have pointed out I shouldn't have deposited the money directly into his account. He SEEMED like a trustworthy guy. I hope he rights this wrong and if he does I will be the first to let you all know. Thanks for your time and understanding.

Why would I want the pump? It doesn't go to my car. I will send it back and you can sell it to someone else. Just please use the correct part number when representing the unit. It is a 211-800-01-48.

As you can see he has refunded the money and I will be shipping the pump back to him today. It is a shame it went down like this but at least he came through in the end. Thanks again for the time and understanding everyone.

It seems you refunded already, but above comes off different from below. Not trying to start anything but I understand the OP's purpose for the post. If you just refunded and not type what you did below, you'd be better off.

Not trying to beat a dead horse here, but I am glad you did the right thing Berti.
I can say that I have personally done business with him that went seamlessly and I would not hesitate to do business with him again.
