darthvaderr 0 Posted November 1, 2011 Hi Everybody,Some of you may have bought from me and I stand by the principle of selling. I sell therefore I deliver otherwise... money back. TRANSACTIONHere is a very bad experience that I had not too long ago and it happened during the month of August. The seller goes by the name MADWORK CUSTOMS from Indonesia and he agreed to sell me some customs made by him for quite a sum of money. I agreed and paid him within 24 hours and the agreement was he would send the cars to me within two weeks which I kindly agreed. The whole transaction happened in facebook (very common in Indonesia).CURRENTAfter three months... I have constantly reminded him to send me the tracking number and I don't even get a single reply. So, after numerous attempt I have decided to check with an Indonesian collector and to my surprise he has CONNED many people and I am only one of the victim. So, please do not make the same mistake I have made.The case is under Paypal's investigation and I have warned him that this will lead to a police case and guess what.... still no reply but he is busy posting at http://forums.hotwheelscollectors.com/.here is a feedback from the guys from Indonesia:http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=281547858533947&set=a.281547735200626.71997.100000362045172&type=1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wildspirit 0 Posted November 3, 2011 Yeah deeply sympathies with you. Are customizer usually ain't up to his word? Usually yes. As all slowly began big headed and so proud. Why? Breaking promises is easily being done i think.And you the humble customer just sitting tight they say, we are master we thinking big and we give big custom sooner or later. Don't have to go far away. Now all are know better. Did someone or your customer cannot come up as big as you..you know better that something was easily learned and if someone put real effort to do the same they can come up also with big similar quality customs.Buck up and compose little bit. Don't wasted what god gifted to you. One job at the time is little discipline you should learned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackdy 0 Posted November 3, 2011 Some customizer is just part time (like Me). We do just for the sake of passion, and the money that comes with it is just side kick..so, i didnt take money unless its delivered, sometimes i have to bared the waste also when noone didnt claim, anyway im not gonna get rich by doing this, is just for fun.So, some of customer always expect something fast and quality(which is stress)but quality and quantity didnt works together.. maybe it can be done if u have extra gift like 20 hands.Do chill out bro, hope he got repay from "The" top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eight 0 Posted December 1, 2011 this madworks guys from is busy posting his custom in the hotwheelscollectors.com forum... better to confront him there so that everyone can see the conman he is & have the answer u looking for from him... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darthvaderr 0 Posted December 1, 2011 I received the cars after the case when into PayPal dispute but I am lucky to receive the car because I have PayPal's protection. The indonesian buyers do money transfer and that's the end of it. According to my Indonesian friends, I am really lucky to even see the cars as some of them have totally given up on this guy.So... the lesson learned, is to buy via PayPal when you intend to make any transaction online. Thank you all for listening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
