    i realize research indicates that paypal SHOULD side with buyer when return package is refused. i hope it holds true.

    for now, i'll just leave this here.

    So, now that it has been refused, I have 875 bucks and a 12lb. paperweight.

    Re-purpose it. Add a used ball bearing turbo hooked up to an electric motor and install four bowls on the runners and hotbox that sumbitch.

    I don't usually talk until I have the money, but paypal has already guaranteed it to me. It's just playing the waiting game. They have never failed me with scam artists in the past.

    I'm not quite sure what you mean? He refused the manifold after I followed paypals instructions for returning it. It's now being sent back to my house.

    He's saying JR messed up: he'll have no money and no (useless for anything but scrap) manifold, either.

    Is it possible for me to get my money back from shipping costs? I'm up to 75 bucks. Had to pay the 26 bucks in postage when it was sent back.[emoji35]

    Personally I would just be happy to get some money back and to still have a hunk of aluminum to recycle.

    Which would probably cost way more than the potential settlement. But I'm no lawyer, so just guessing...

    I was looking for an easy solution or other option... ( maybe a throat punch with said manifold in hand.) That would cover the 75 bucks.

    It's a moral thing. Trying to sell something that is clearly unusable on any vehicle is just wrong. I am just as bad as John Russell if I do that.

    I will absolutely do that if I am worthy of Raiders address..lol. I have all the measurements I need to make this manifold myself the right way. I fully intend to do so. I only asked John to make this because of the welding I saw. I'm a tool maker for a living. Machining the necessary items is easy. John spit a good game as far as welding.
