    Heh well I was quick enough to file a PayPal claim which froze his entire account due to not enough funds available (both in PayPal and his bank account). Keep in mind this was only about 90 euro's? Well if his bank account can't deal with that, he has way too little operating funds.

    Some products did arrive though. Bearings of inferior quality, fiberglass sunroof which was actually pretty good, Goodridge brake lines which weren't the stainless steel ones I ordered rather the cheaper version they carry.

    Sad thing is he's opening up stores for other platforms left and right it seems. Someone should put a stop to this guy, but honestly I can't be bothered anymore. I did at one point find his home address though

        He's a lifetime scammer. He immediately moves the money out of his paypal account, as well as the bank account that's linked to it.

        I guarantee you he's got a nice stash either in cash or in a different bank account.

          I wonder what other sites he is doing this with.
          Some people are living life and some people are just living.

            Its crazy how some people operate and get away with it for such a long time. One way or another his karma will catch up with him though. One thing is for sure, he doesn't care about repeat business if hes doing this kind of crap to people. Sorry to hear about all of your losses

              See, I don't believe he's a lifetime scammer. Reading back on the mx6.nl forums there were a lot of satisfied customers in the early years. My guess is it somewhere went to shit, personal reasons or just plain mismanagement, and it all went downhill from there.
              That he's scamming people now by not sorting his problems (or just sheer malicious intent) is obvious though.

                Good point. Hadn't thought about his early history.

                  Same thing happened to me, placed an order for a few little parts, didn't get them. E-mailed and he said he would ship new and they never arrived either... curious that so many others have had same problem. They were small parts and not a lot of money, but now I am guessing neither order of mine was ever really shipped at all.

                  Luckily it wasn't much money:

                      This sounds 100% like my experiences with Probe Addiction. His work when he first started and service was great; from there it just went to hell very quickly.

                      Sorry about the poor service you guys are getting. I don't bother too much with vendors anymore and just relay on respectable people here on PT.

                            Another problem with the fordprobestore.co.uk website.
                            I have ordered a fiberglass sunroof. I have no other choice as all the Probe sunroofs tend to rust.
                            Ordered the sunroof on 9th march. Sunroof made on order.
                            Received it on 27th may.
                            Item was so poorly packaged that two corners were broken.
                            Seller refused me a partial refund and blame the transporter.
                            I think a better package would have allowed him to arrive safe at home...

                              you should be able to file an insurance claim with delivery service, if he purchased it, or maybe credit card purchase protection. i was tempted to purchase same thing, but wasn't willing to lose $300, based on complaints here. does anyone else make them?
