Clint Axley (PFF user axley) took my money (PayPal) never shipped items (Taillights)

After 10 days of no contact, no response - I contacted him through the PayPal dispute system. (He THEN claimed he "broke" them in his hurry to pull them from the car and ship them I asked for pics, he sent pictures of a taillight with damage to the middle of the lens, like it had been rear ended, of hit with a hammer. (no idea how you could break them like this while removing them.)

I told him to refund my money immediately - no response, I filed a PayPal dispute - still no contact.

Do not send any money to Clint Axley - just another thief trying to cash in on GT taillights

Original post 86 gt fiero parts

Luckily I will eventually get my money back, as I sent it as a purchase through PayPal - but I have missed out on another set of taillights because the thief is trying to keep my money, refusing to answer, ignoring all emails, though PFF and PayPal.

Thats funny because I had no idea who that person was so I looked up the screen name. Here was one of his first posts that popped up:

Yea....nice.

I've bought and sold on the forum for years, and this is the first time I've had an issue. And it's becoming obvious (after the fact) it was a complete scam from the start.

that's a drag. I've never had any Bad experiences with anyone here. only good. now Ebay, that's a whole different can of worms !

Make sure to give him/her proper feedback.

is Axley the Username? and if so, do you have his real name and what state is he or she in ?

Seems scamming is becoming more common on here.

btw, I am still waiting for Ken Hines, the scammer, to refund my money

Axley is the username - and listed on PayPal as his actual name - Clint Axley
Email is axleyclint29@gmail.com

Looks like he is in De Soto MS

Still no response - too hard for him to click "refund" with the mouse. Looking more and more like an complete scam.

What is it with GT taillights? It's like they are cursed.

How much did you pay? the price might have been an indicator that the deal was too good to be true??????

For a set described as decent condition with delam, no cracks -I offered $200 plus shipping.

A good price, but not an unbelievable price for a de-laminated set.

I suspect he got a higher offer and went for it, despite the fact he had already agreed to a deal with you. The same thing happened to me recently with a rear strut bar for a '98 Impreza STi. However, in my case the guy at least had the jam to refund my money without too much of a hassle.

Integrity appears to be going the route of GT tail lights... becoming harder and harder to come by.

That's the first thing I thought too.

But at least be a man and refund my money. Now I think he planned to steal all along.

Yeah, whatever the reason for the non-sale... if you don't get the item, the money needs to be refunded in a timely manner. It's rather unfortunate that this simple concept appears to be too complicated for some vendors.

See if they have a local club on the web and maybe he s a member of one and someone can reach out to him- Just a thought ---

He's jealous 'cause he can't make your stickers !!!!!

Not surprisingly - PayPal ruled in my favor and credited my account.

But others beware, Clint Axely is a thief - I would have been out $225 if I didn't have PayPals protection.

Don't send any money to him, for anything. He had no intention of shipping OR refunding.

Glad it worked out in your favor. However its a shame that a lot of problems lately have been tied to "taillights". If it looks to good to be true chances are it probably is.
