Even though I brought up valid points in my arguments (I sold it brand new, sealed, if it's the wrong motor, that's on Traxxas, not me. Also, why would you wait 40 days to tell me it's broken due to shipping? Clearly he somehow broke it and wanted to pin the blame on me) and IMO crushed his BS lies, they still choose his side which just proved that they don't give a rats ass who's right, the buyer will get their way.
I did contact PayPal to let them know what had happened. The first time the guy misinformed me it seems, he just said "oh yeah send us pictures of the car and they'll take a look at it". Nothing happened. Second time I call the guy says the 1st guy was wrong, they never even ask for pictures, so I explain to him what happened and he supposedly notes down all the info and says I'll get an email and I need to fill an affidavit. That never came, so I was like fuck it they're not going to give me my money anyways, I'll just buy the stupid parts and resell it. I probably lost $100 bucks because of it, but oh well, really wasn't my fault/anything I could do with a screwed up system. Ever since I've been weary of selling on eBay, but I just reassure myself there are only 1 in 100 people that try some shit like that.

I end up getting these for free through my dad anyways, so it's whatever to an extent. I was just more pissed that he pulled some crap like that and on top of it kept part of the item, more than being mad about having to refund him.

I had something like that happen to me on ebay a few years back. They didn't end up winning but I went through a huge headache with it. I sold two new unused phones and about 20 days later I get an email from this guy saying that the phones were used and/or broken or something to that extent. All his emails were in caps and he typed like he was a child. I emailed ebay about it saying he was wrong, but I had no way to prove it. I dont think ebay ever emailed me back about it and the guy stopped sending all caps emails after about a months time and 15 emails.
And yeah, ebay's fees are absolutely horrible. I craigslist now.

How do you install the led license plate lights? I was able to find the socket for the reverse lights, I saw another socket and pulled but it didn't come out.

I don't remember exactly but the cover/diffuser/whatever it's called just pops off giving you access to the bulbs.

And yeah tell me about it. Asking the buyer for a shipping fee? There's a fee for that! Someone sends money to your PayPal account? There's a fee for that! Where does it end with you people!
I would use Craigslist, but I don't trust some of those psychos in person. I read an article about some guy going to meet with some guy to buy and iPad or sell an iPad and they mugged him for his money (or iPad) AND killed him. Like that's just insane, it's not that serious. It's one think to mug someone and another to kill them over it.

xtcnrice, I was trying to see how exactly Griot's Garage warranty works and this was on there website.
Kind of iffy. I'm not sure how they determine whether it's a defect or normal use that broke the machine.
At Griot's Garage, we want you as a customer for life. Everything you purchase from us comes with a lifetime guarantee against defect. We want you to enjoy our quality product for 180 days and have fun with it! If you don't like it for any reason during this time, return it for a full refund or credit. After that, you're covered with our lifetime guarantee against defect, in which we will either repair it, replace it, or credit your purchase price if we are able to do neither. Some items have a life span during normal use and they wear out. Our warranty does not include replacement of such items after normal use. Of course our guarantee doesn't cover abuse... But you already knew that.
Customers for life. That's our guarantee.

Basically take out a few bitch clips, pull down a bit on the trunk carpet lining, push on the clips hold the bulbs to take them out, replace the lights, then put it all back together.
FYI VR1, if you haven't already done it yet, make sure your lights are off before you try and take the lights out, or you're gonna burn your fingers
Also, make sure you test the new lights before putting everything back together!

So the funny thing is this happened to me today too. Lol. I was going to drive my dad's RDX and his damn seat is so close to the wheel that my knee turned it, kinda heard a lock and the car wouldn't start, then I was like "ah, this is what he was talking about" lol.
Good looks, I need to do this too. Lol.
Where did you guys buy the lights from?

They're $1 with nothing to lose. And they actually arrived way sooner than expected, considering how it's from China (took like less than 2 weeks)!
They look great on my car... I haven't taken any pics of her yet though cuz I wanna get the polish in first

my car is soo much more fun with the progress bar, tune and new tires. I never realized how much the shit stockies hold you back.
I've even got the back to come out a few times with my bar set on the stiffest setting.

lol, the majority of the top part of the clip went straight below the fingernail of my thumb. It's pretty loose so I'm probably gonna have to get the entire fingernail removed. Already happened to me once, not looking forward to it again. Posted a pic on my IG.
I think I actually like those ambered colored ones now. How did you remove the gray part that holds the bulb? Just twist and it comes off? Or pull? Thanks.
Ha, learned that the hard way after I replaced both of the reverse lights, then putting everything back and having to do it all again lol.

Lol it's really not about the cost, I'm just curious how it works because I know these lifetime warranties usually have a catch. Sounds like Griots Garage will still work with you according to a guy on ebay. Said he bought a $100 carbon fiber frame that started to fade and bubble and they gave him a $70 certificate.

Come on man, I'm not that cheap! Lol. I just want one that's reliable and will last. Someone said Sylvania was like $7.

I feel the same after installing my TEINs and getting my Ventus V12s on. Car handles 100x better IMO. Most people say that if the car is on coils, a thicker RSB won't have much of an affect unless you track the thing. I'll definitely think about the Progress RSB if I ever decide on doing that. For now she handles the streets pretty damn well.

And I'm still locked onto that Griot's polisher. It still has 2 days left. Kind of the sucky part of an auction is the waiting game. If a PC pops up during that time I might go that way. It's almost a toss up.

Tragedy struck after a woman in China accidentally dropped her phone into an open-pit style toilet.
As reported by the South China Morning Post, the incident took place in Xinxiang city, located in the Henan province. After the woman’s cellphone fell into the cesspool, her husband climbed into the open pit that was filled knee-deep with waste to try and retrieve the phone, which had an estimated value of 2,000 yuan ($319 U.S. dollars).
The man was overcome by fumes and fainted. This caused other relatives and neighbors to enter the pit to try and rescue the victims. In total, six people were pulled from the pit. Despite the victims being trapped in the toilet for no more than five minutes, medical care was delayed because an ambulance took over an hour to arrive, according to eyewitnesses.
So far, two victims have died, including the husband of the woman who lost the cellphone. That woman was placed in the intensive care unit. The doctor treating the victims say they suffered from suffocation.
There was no word on whether the phone was recovered.
