I have - I bought a pair of window trims which were broken despite being described as undamaged, the guy said that "all of them are like that" and I had to raise a Paypal dispute to get my money back because he ignored me after returning them.

So I would definitely not consider ordering anything of high value from this seller.

Haha I got the original engine from that car in my garage waiting for a bottom end rebuild, if it's the engine your buying from the car it's a wrx block not a sti, the owner put in and couldn't get running after the sti lump started knocking,I was going to go back buy the whole car but the breaker got in there and snatched it for 800£, the previous owner was a member on here

Cheers guys, that link is to the correct seller, im not buying any of the bits from that car tho, im wanting to buy a gearbox, its a pretty rare one and he has one, ive searched alot and altho Mikejenkins has had an issue, im not finding many complaints against them so far, one or 2 here n there but for a 800 + customers on ebay and off forums, you would think the name would be more out there if they were that bad.

Hmmm.....

Cheers

cheers, well spotted, didnt go back that far when i looked at his feedback.

Hmmm, not promising i guess, some good feedback, engines bought from him etc, but there has been pockets of poor service or parts being wrong or different to advertsied.


Hmm.......

well from my experience id say he is a dodgy seller, really quick to request the money, answer my questions with all the rite answers, when i asked for a pic of the box/code he took 2 days and still didnt get me a pic saying he was too busy.

so, buyer beware won in this case, as i wont be trusting him
