Need some advice please
Here is the story:
I bought a Vortech kit from a seller just two weeks ago. https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=436093. I sent the payment through paypal and recieved the kit a week later. I sorted through the parts and realized the timing box and map box were missing. I contacted the seller and he told me he would check with his mechanic. He got back to me and said he didnt realize it was missing when he bought it because he started with the aem ems. He found out the parts would cost $900 through Vortech. He said vortech's box is similar to the msd timing box and said he would get that shipped to me. Here is the link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/vorte...spagenameZWDVW
. I told him I want the original two box clamp that will run the s/c. He said this $75 peice is the same as the vortech.
He assured me before I bought the kit it was complete minus the fuel pump. The thread up top verifies that. If I take the $75 box its as if I bought an incomplete kit for $3400, missing the most crutial parts then buying the $75 part on the side. As of now I paid over $3500 and I am missing the electronics. I told him I do not want anything but the original parts because that is what I paid for(minus the fuel pump). I told him mackey is selling the parts I need for $500. Either he partially refunds me $500 to get the parts that were supposed to come with the kit or refund me fully. I should not be losing any money over this transaction.
He kept on insisting he send me the $75 part and avoiding giving me a full refund, which I requested.
Just wanted some advice on what to do. Am I being unreasonable? Can paypal help me out even though I recieved the item? I told him we can solve this privately but if he becomes difficult I will take this to the main board to make this situation known.
