Here is one of the E/mail i got from him.And i chucked in another 5 for postage ,i know fool me.And if you look they will not fit a van.As vans use small rests.

Hi James,
$70 for a pair of Brown arm rests and a pair of carpet
trims to suit a Van. Including postage.

"they will not fit a van"

Yeh, but they most probably will with a 2 minute mod.

Ok what's the mod

Pretty easy if I remember correctly.

Remove the original door handle by unscrewing the two large self tappers holding the arm rest to the door shell.

Screw on the new arm rests using the same holes.
The top part of the arm rest will make a dint in the door trim where it wants to sit. Mark accurately.

Remove arm rest.

Where the alignment mark is drill small pilot hole thru door trim and into door shell (but ot into the door skin!)

Find an old escort front door/s and remove the bayonet clip that is pop riveted to the door frame that holds the top part of the arm rest. Drill your door to suit and fit the bayonet clip as it was on the old escort door.

Drill out door trim to suit. Fit door trim, fit arm rest.

Like falling off a log!

Ok thanks

So let me get this straight,i get ripped off but he is allowed to call me names [x2x]Oh by the way i removed the dispute as soon as he ask me. And if you look back,you will see i never said his name. If you have sold me stuff, you will know that i always sent more cash than the asking price.

James,

It would have been best to resolve this by way of the Paypal dispute...this is exactly why the dispute process is there. It surprises me that you dropped the dispute if they are not as described. I personally would strongly recommend requesting pics for any purchase of second hand parts. Best of luck resolving the issue, hopefully you can reach a resolution, only you guys know exactly what has happened. I will remove the posts from your build thread that are off topic.

Cheers,

Phil.

Mate i started the dispute,after toe bits of alloy stripping turned up After a month or close to it.It was only in dispute for about 4hrs when i got thisCan you please cancel the paypal dispute as it's my wife's business paypal
account & you've just overdrawn it on her!
So i thought i would be a good guy, and he would fix it up for me.I have 2 more e/mails from him. One on the same day saying that he would look in to it.And the last one on the 11/3/ saying this
Hi James,

so.
