Beware of this guy selling VIN locked tuners

[TurboRanger]

This guy on FleaBay is selling Ford Performance tuners that are VIN locked https://www.ebay.com/itm/2366987455...KKP82P&hash=item371c583aca:g:fFoAAeSwhdhpu25z

I bought one and it was VIN locked to another truck I returned it and he did not refund me my money .
He is probably on this forum

Thanks for sharing this @TurboRanger. Another option is to file a fraud claim about the charge with your cc issuer.

It went threw PayPal and trying to deal with AI is a joke PayPal won't give me my money back

So many once-decent companies are enshittifying their services with AI these days. Very sad.

Contact EBay. I’m pretty sure they will take care of this matter for you. Good luck.

You have a lot of methods to get your money back here. I'd personally start with Ebay and then move to Paypal. If you used a credit card to fund the Paypal transaction, you could also contact the card issuer and submit a fraud claim.

Absolutely they will

Looks like PayPal has your back.

"If you don't receive your order, or it shows up different than described, PayPal Purchase Protection will help you get reimbursed for eligible items."

Also, PayPal is owned by Ebay.

Perhaps PayPal can help, in theory, but it sounds like he’s getting the runaround from the AI assistant. Definitely a design choice by PayPal.

for sure

He just has to be persistent.

The systems are intentionally obtuse because a lot of people will give up.

Once they realize he won’t, it will go quickly
