DO NOT BUY FROM MASTERCATER7 (SCAM ARTIST)
This guys sells me a supercharger kit on feb 22nd and i have yet to receive it. So i file a claim with pay-pal and he says thats the reason why he is not shipping. its almost a month what the f.u.c.k did he expect me to do come pick it up.
Supposedly he wants to build a better motor and thats why he is selling it to me, its like he took my money and just borrowed it so he can fix his **** cause everytime he says he ships i ask him for the tracking# then he says he is busy or he never responds, i call him and no answer but then he texts me, he is a f;ucking ignorant little kid.

I call B.S. here.
Seriously, you made the deal feb22? Your PM said:
That was on the Tuesday March 9th, and you gave him until March 12th. To ship. He was able to get S/C friday, was getting ready to ship, when he check paypal and noticed you had already filed a paypal claim back on Tuesday.
Seems to me you are pulling something yourself. Why would you file a claim when you said he had till Friday? You give him an ultimatum, and them file the claim before the date could be met. So essentially you get him to ship you the S/C with an open paypal claim? What's to stop from getting the S/C kit and saying you never got it. Seems to me you were trying to keep your money and get a free S/C kit.

Not only that but he had already filed the dispute and escalated it to a claim before he even spoke to maximase86 or me. I had his money refunded. If the claim hadn't been filed, I would have shipped. I spoke with the buyer on a Saturday, and told him I would ship it Monday, then Sunday morning I was woken up at 7am because I was being called REPETITIVELY. I looked at my phone and had 20 missed calls and 15 text messages demanding I answer him immediately; even though the deal was to ship on Monday and I couldn't even ship it on a Sunday. I have bought/sold many items over this board without any problems. Many people can vouch that I am not a scammer. On top of all this, he tells me not to ship the supercharger, then calls and texts me over and over again, harassing me, calling me offensive names, and demanding I ship the supercharger; wtf?

Matercater is not a scam artist, he doesn't have an artistic bone in his body...
I bought an exhaust off of him, no problems here.
Sounds like someone got cold feet and wanted to back out of the deal. Zack wants his car together so he would have shipped your ish..
Oh and you're 22, you're an ignorant little kid too.

I second the BS.
So, according to the data presented, you purchased the SC kit on February 28th..a Sunday. You pay with Paypal figure give the guy 3 days to get the money, let it deposit, let everything clear...hes got his money clean and clear March 4. Figure he takes the weekend and doesnt ship it, no biggie. At some point that next week between the 8th and the 12th, he should have shipped it. Maybe Monday he was playing catch up from the weekend so ok, the 9th he would send. Instead, he gets bombarded with texts and calls and you threaten ultimatums and by the 12th (the date YOU set) you have already filed a dispute, and escalated it to a claim (which takes about 5 business days, putting your dispute filed around the Monday March 8th)...come on man...thats just ridiculous. You see this timeline. Give the guy a chance at LEAST.

Just as an FYI, Zack and his car are not at the same location right now and he doesn't have another car. Like I said I know Zack and I know he was going to ship asap.
Hell if I was closer to him I would have driven him around but it wasn't possible for us to get together the last few weeks due to my job, life etc.
Am I saying any of that is your responsiblity? Nope, but I guarantee if you had given him a chance you would have had a nice kit.

Mixed communication is a far way away from someone scamming you. We all know he has the s/c and is trying to sell it. I'd be excited to get a s/c too if I had paid for it but you need to chill out and not jump to conclusions. Sounds like if you are so insecure about the process, you should have done business locally and should only do it locally in the future.
The seller is legit. I'd buy from him.

#12
Just so I'm sure I have this straight, you have all your money and Zack still has his S/C right?
Where's the scam? If you were out the money and the S/C I could see it being a "scam" but in this case no one lost other than your impatience losing you a S/C.

If anything the OP was trying to scam him. ie..opening a dispute, then calling him demanding he ship the SC. In hopes of getting him to ship the SC before noticing the paypal dispute.
Should be one hell of an explanation coming to the seller or I'm going to to deem this a scam attempt from the OP and consider action

i just got off the phone with him too. the OP is a douche nugget for trying to pull a fast one like this. i really dont have much to say about this situation,im just glad zach got to keep the kit.
#16
Hmmmm.... Never had a problem with Zach as a seller... As a matter of fact, he was more than understanding when I had some money problems and wasn't able to get him every last penny for my Greddy right away. He is an honest man, never had any trouble with him.

yeah right you guys are so full of it this guy had me wait for friggin 20 days. i tried contacting him to many times. he lied about shipping like 4 times. common if you guys where in the same situaton the same action would have been taken. ask zach how many times we actually spoke. and why did i have to hear from other members about his situation. he recieved payment promptly. no reason why it should not have been shipped within 10 days @ least. 20 days is 1 day shy of 3 weeks. guys lets be real

he had the money for 20 days that is what matters point blank. if i was to pull a fast one why wasnt the claim filled after a week of not hearing from him
i was very patient with him. and he said he was shy of $20 to ship i was even gonna send him the 20 but then he started with all this dispute bull****. if he was to ship when he got the money all of this wouldnt be goin on

He sold you the S/C on Feb 28 not Feb 22 and you filed the claim on Mar 9. You do the math.
I'm not saying it shouldn't have been ready to ship before he sold it, that was a poor decision on his end but you asked him to ship by a drop dead date that was three days after you filed a claim and 12 days after the deal was made.
Calling us full of **** doesn't change the timeline and doesn't change the fact that you asked him to ship after you filed a claim.

okay if u read paypal guidelines it says i can file a claim if im having problem with the transaction. and there was a big communication problem on his end. Him having no phone and then having no computer. i did not find all this out until after the claim was filed. the whole reason paypal allows u to file a claim is to reach an agreement with the seller. after i filed the claim he said he was gonna ship the monday. we came to an agreement. then thursday comes and still no trackin # or package. basically im in no part to blame for this, the seller already had the money in hand. package should have been ready to ship. point blank and i have texts and phone records to prove how many times i tried contacting him. even sent him a few pm's on here. I EVEN TEXTED AND CALLED HIS DADS BUSINESS NO PHONE WITH NO LUCK. even went thru other org members to get him to ship. common if i didnt even try to resolve this then u guys could actually say that it was my fault. i was even willing to lift the claim but paypal states once a claim is filled i cant file another. now who would cancel a claim knowing that if he did indeed decide to not ship the package (which is what happened) i would be completly left with nothing. no s\c and no money.

see he fails to mention how many times he said he was gonna ship and didnt. after the third time i figured i was dealing with a pathological liar or a scam artist. idk maybe every1 else here is gullible but i dont kno him from a hole in the wall so why should i even begin to trust sum1 that took over a grand from me and lied about shipping a package 3 times

You have opened a dispute for the payment you made to Thomas Latham on Feb
27, 2010 (Transaction 6P4509264R677784T) indicating that you did not
receive the item you purchased this was on march 9th a whole 11 days after the sale. and note this was only a DISPUTE
this was on march 11th when i told myself if i didnt hear from him be4 friday i was gonna escalate to a claim. You asked us to look into case #PP-914-548-075 and decide the outcome
because you didn't receive the item you bought. Here's the case we're
looking into:
To help us make the decision, we'll look at the messages you and the seller
exchanged in the Resolution Center. We may also ask you for more
information. If we do, please try to respond quickly.
Thanks for contacting us. We're looking into your case and will decide the

now you got your money back,he still has the kit, i call this case closed. let it die. and buy your kit from someone else .
can a mod please lock this ****. its a done deal.
#29
I agree lock it, done deal and even if the OP can't get his timeline straight there's no harm no foul as no one is out anything.
If I had my money back I wouldn't have made a tool move like calling someone a scammer though.

What the HELL!? Where is MY exhaust? I WANT TO BUY AN EXHAUST TOO!!!!!
But seriously I need a cliff notes of your side and Master's side, but I think what happened here was that there was a misunderstanding and also a little anomaly that is in action here. It seems like since you were in Brooklyn and Master is in Washington (Along with 90% of the posters here) there is a few hours of difference between you and him. So while it may be afternoon for you and those hours of torture without the S/C kit is tearing away at your need for speed, Master is probably still asleep or working. So from what I read it seems like the urge to hear the blow off valve was too much and every minute thinking about the PSSSSSHHHHHHH after shifting made you more and more anxious and you soon couldn't handle the wait and jumped the gun.
On Paypal it said you had like 2 months or something after a purchase to file a dispute. But although your wait was honestly kind of long, there are some people who waited up to month for a part to arrive and were still happy. All in all, you got your money back, and all that was lost was a few cents for texting and some time wasted. So get back on those forums and look for a new seller with a S/C for sale! And make sure its somewhere close to you so you can come pick it up and avoid the whole shipping and waiting!
And to MaximaSpd, can I possibly have the S/C..........For..........FREE!?

and it seems that you dont understand simple logic. YOU HAVE YOUR MONEY,HE STILL HAS THE KIT!!! this is the part of the show where you should change the channel. it was poor communication and paitence on your part,and unfortunate circustance on his. this means the deal is a wash. now shut your trap!

Since you can't drop this let me use your own posts to establish the timeline.
"This guys sells me a supercharger kit on feb 22nd and i have yet to receive it."
"You have opened a dispute for the payment you made to Thomas Latham on Feb 27, 2010 (Transaction 6P4509264R677784T) indicating that you did not
receive the item you purchased."
This means contrary to your own first post you purchased on Saturday Feb 27, 2010 rather than Feb 22, 2010 and paypal takes 3-4 business days to clear on the seller's end. So benefit of a doubt and lets say it cleared his bank on Thursday Mar 4, 2010.
So you then allowed two business days to ship prior to filing a dispute. Friday Mar 5, 2010 and Monday Mar 8, 2010.
You sent Maxima86SE a PM on Mar 9, 2010 stating.

You then filed the claim the same day.
In the meantime you were texting and calling Zack and using some pretty nasty language and demanding he ship. You didn't even allow the time you gave him per your PM to Maxima86SE.
So based on your own timeline you allowed two business days to ship before filing a claim and then demanded shipment after the claim was filed.
Instead of shipping he refunded all your money which resolved the claim and protected him, no one was out anything and then you come here to whine about being scammed.
Sure you sound like a reasonable guy. What were we all thinking, we don't have any idea what's going on.
What a tool you are..
