I sold a set of OEM brakes to some guy for $3.5k. We used the PayPal service fee so that both of us would be protected. I'm not sure what exactly happened, but this guy sent pics of the package he received and it was absolutely trashed. Like a truck had run over it. Broken parts, missing parts and all that.

The OEM brakes are a common part, so I never found out if this actually happened or if he faked it with spare parts. Either way, PayPal took his side even after I submitted all the documentation, pictures of packaging, pictures before packaging etc.

PayPal customer service was absolute shit..worse than Comcast. Only auto-replys and bots, and if I got a person on the phone then they were from some random call center in India and had no idea what was going on. It was a total crapshoot.

So after months of this crap, PayPal eventually locked my account unless I return the buyer's money. And buyer went radio silent so I never know what happened with the brakes. I do know that he got his money back, though.
