Thought I'd share my experience with a certain eBay seller who ripped me off. He goes by the eBay name jacbike1 but his real name is Jim Celeste of Las Vegas Nevada.

I bought an item from him on eBay and when he finally shipped it to me it turned out to be the wrong item. We went back and forth forever trying to settle up and for a while I gave him the benefit of the doubt since he said he was going through hard times but would find other parts to make it right. I took him at his word as a fellow rider and he took advantage by flat out ripping me off.

Long story short, this guys idea of making it right was to send me some crappy used parts after I sent back the original parts. To date I'm out my money and jackhole doesn't even have the balls to answer my emails anymore.


If buying on eBay, avoid jacbike1. And if you ride in Vegas I'd think twice about riding with him. Any biker that treats another like this probably couldn't be trusted to ride with either.

Buyers and Bikers beware!

Ken,
If you paid via Pay pal you can dispute the charges with them and they are pretty frigging tough on rip off artists.

Unfortunately the system is working against me on this one. Because it was through ebay Paypal sends the dispute back to them (because its the same company). Then ebay refuses to handle because it is passed the 60 day dispute period. Its an endless loop where Paypal wants to protect buyers yet ebay won't do anything since there was already proof of something being shipped... even if it was the right item.

From now on if I have a dispute on ebay, I'll be leaving negative feedback within the first month. Then if the buyer resolves things I'll request that the feedback be retracted.
