    Beware of Xyzguys2840, sends you to a guy who says he has your parts. I sent money six days ago, shows funds sent, but seller wants me to resend. bb_taylor is the seller, email name differs from that name and PP name is Russian sounding.
    No response from Xyzguys2840 since last week.
    One other member just told me same situation.

    Original message.
    bb_taylor could be a resource for you. If you haven't tried him yet, it would be worth a email. If he doesn't have one, he might know someone who does. His email is dynamicwallock@gmail.com

    Looking at the list of members Xyzguys2840 is no longer listed.

    I had the same issue. Luckily I wanted him to send me a picture of the parts and I saw, that the photo was stolen from the internet. So good news, that he got kicked.

    Regards
    Marc

    @Marc W. Sadly that happens all too often, a forum I used to be a member of had pictures stolen on a regular basis to use in eBay listings.! [-X
