It's crappy, but they are not the only ones on the Internet like that. I have limited businesses that I buy from online. $346 may not be the end of the world, but if you are like me, I work pretty darned hard for it and I expect something in return!

WHY did you wait EIGHT-MONTHS to file a dispute with PP?
Even credit cards only give you two billing cycles(60-days), although 'Only' is kind of a misnomer. 60 days is plenty of time to figure out if someone is ripping you off.
EDIT: Upon visiting their site, I don't see where they even carry ANY parts for the F-150.
It's ALL Japanese/Chinese(look at these) imported parts(junk), and I'm not referring to the vehicle(s) themselves, I'm talking about their 'parts'(junk).
Upon checking out their 'Address', I see it also 'belongs' to this company:http://meganracingwholesale.com/contact-us, but more importantly the address itself is apparently either in the middle of the woods, or a pond

I dunno dude... You shoulda done some better checking. A quick look at their 'Contact' page shows their 'warehouse' address as actually being a P.O. box(which as I already mentioned is either in the woods or a small pond), and CLEARLY their phone number simply being a message 'center'.
You really couldn't get any more shifty than this, but to then take 8-months to try to get your money back....

I make it a habit to not buy from sites that can't use proper English, that's a big clue, sorry about your luck.

I got ripped off for $300 one time when I was like 20. I felt like an idiot and was really embarrassed for being so dumb, but it happens. Take the loss and learn from it. Thanks for the warning on these scammers though.

Default aaaaaahhhhhh

second

PAypal is too blame here too... we all pay to give paypal their millions... they dont even verify sellers, and allow how many others to get ripped from same site?
you would think that after one complaint they would retract seller permission

that is also the b.s., paypal does't care, they get their cut from illegal sites.

They can't retract permission from one complaint, that would be ridiculous. Read eBay feedbacks and Amazon reviews sometimes, people are dumb, they give one star and scathing review and admit they ordered wrong thing, lol! Some of them are quite funny. You can't ban sellers based on one negative, too many morons out there.
