I am going to a safer seller from now, documenting everything I sell so this doesn't happen to me again. I was RIPPED OFF by kVAR.
What I got back was NOT what I sent.
Look at the power plug of what is sent by GnG:
The power plug of what I got back had ANDERSONS.
The bracket was bent, which wasn't bent when I sent it (okay we'll say this is the USPS's fault for damage) and the mudgaurd was cracked (again, I won't put fault to kVAR for this, though I do not know what the actual cause it)
I KNEW it was fishy from the start with the crankarm looking like that, but the chainring has a crack as well. There NO WAY I would've missed all this stuff when I looked at the kit before selling it as new. Plenty of guys here on the forum will vouch for me that I am an honest seller and I APPLAUD kVAR for creating such a convincing case. I really do. You did a great job, and in this case you won. You'll get a full refund, and I'll be getting the short end of the stick this time. Rest assured though, I will not be ripped off again selling on this forum. I will not be selling to new members, and I will be documenting everything I sell precisely.
For future sellers on the forum, established members and the like, please protect yourself more than I did. I can no longer fight it because paypal only has ONE option for me, which is to say I've received the package and the buyer gets a full refund. Is there anything I can do? Technically he could've sent me a bag of garbage with tracking and Paypal will give him a full refund once the tracking gets through. Should I call Paypal and see if anything can be done? I did not fully document all this in pictures yet, but is there a case that I can fight with paypal so kVAR cannot continue to be dishonest like he has, all while accusing me of being dishonest?
I am prepared to not win this case, but I find this absurd that I have been slandered by a scammer and having the scammer win just irks me a lot.
I am going to install this kit, and see if it powers up.. all hell will break loose if theres actually something broken on the kit that will need replacing. I can deal with aesthetic issues but it wouldn't surprise me if the controller I got back (which is NOT the one I sent) doesn't even work.
