Anyone deal with Luver770 on ebay??

I have been trying to get a torque converter from Luver770 since March 21 of this year. First one got damaged and never arrived. Been fighting with guy ever since. He is no longer answering emails. The listing is item number 120918448572 it is for a big shot torque converter. I bought a 3500 of the same the year before from him with no problems. What me off is I recommended him to a buddy of mine who also got ripped off. I opened a dispute with ebay when I found out there was a problem with package saying it got sent to the undeliverable warehouse in Ontario, Canada. So anyways ebay suggested I resolve the case without escalading it any higher and also the guy said ebay put a hold on the money from his paypal account so he couldn't send it until I closed the case and paypal released the hold on his paypal account, like a fool I dropped the case and a few days later it was past 45 days and he said the converter was on the way a couple times since then, but nothing not even tracking number. I contacted ebay through phone on Tuesday and they won't help at all, they said I should have acted before the 45 days was up, but they are the ones who said to drop the case if possible, that is another thing that is eating me up. The listing says the item was in Aston, Pennsylvannia I got a phone number

(267) 420-0678

I tried phoning but it says the call cannot be completed from my area code. Is this a real business can anyone check this out from the US.

I really haven't been having luck with converters I bought 3 this year, and nothing I can use has arrived. Man a guy just can't win.

I called the number and received voice mail for a "Grand National Specialties".

There's a long thread from a Buick forum involving this guy. Lots of good info you can harvest from the chatter. In this forum the culprit responds with his name and contact info. Don't know if he's the same SOB you're dealing with:

Michael Litchko (founder/owner)
GnSpecialties
332 Chester Pike
Norwood, Pa 19074
(610) 329-9192

Here's the forum link:

Thanks I will be looking into it. It is pretty tempting to buy a ticket and show up, usually they change their attitude pretty quick when you show up. It seems like these days nobody has any prinls or morals anymore. Thanks again for help guys I'll let you guys know what transpires.

This guy seems to value his reputation in the Buick community. I think you could leverage a response if you flame him here: http://www.turbobuicks.com/forums/

Here is a little update on the issue. I contacted VISA dispute centre and they said it is past 120days we can't help you. So then I explained what all transpired and the lady said the guy took advantage of my kindness and never to let an item go past 45 days without opening a dispute with ebay/paypal and DO NOT CLOSE THE DISPUTE UNTIL ITEM IS IN HAND!! Let that be a lesson for everyone here. Also this torque converter is a piece of , I ballooned the 3500 stall I got from him last year within a few passes and it was more like a 4500 stall. Also if the seller tries to say that paypal put a hold on his paypal account until the dispute is cleared up that is complete bs don't buy it!! Anyways there is another reason why I am quitting cars. I got a whole wall of expensive junk I can't use....

One final attempt would be to file a complaint with the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Bureau of Consumer Protection. You can submit on-line here: http://www.attorneygeneral.gov/consumers.aspx?id=451

I would file it against Grand National Specialties, doing business as (DBA) Luver770 on ebay. Probably won't get your money but you will make him respond to the State with an explanation.
