Being an active member is not an excuse for unacceptable business practices. The fact that fk5aar has established a pattern of inappropriate behavior noted by other FEBO members, is the point of emphasis. Had pete9857 not experienced a similar incident, I would not have been inclined to chime in. Perhaps others may find this information useful, especially before entering into any transactions with fk5aar.
To DetMatt1: Yes; funds were never received. After providing fk5aar with numerous photos, he indicated he wanted the part. The part was bubbled wrapped, boxed and taken to FedEx (his request) for an accurate shipping cost. Satisfied with the cost, fk5aar requested my name and address for payment. After not receiving his funds or any communication after 8 days, I followed up with a text letting him know that I have not received his payment. Never heard anything. Three days later, I reached out again asking if he was no longer interested in the item. Again, he ignore my communication.
