Beware Joe Stiles wb7uqu

Post by bob742 »

Dont sell or buy from this guy. He is a thief. Sold him an rf board and after having it in his possession for 3 days "claimed" it was damaged in shipping. I gave the benefit of doubt to him and offered another part for his radio and he declined it and whined to paypal and ebay which refunded his money upon his return of the item to me. i sent photos as did he. the photos are of two different boards but ebay/paypal refunded his money so now im out not only a part but the shipping cost as well. and now as a result i put a distinct mark on all parts that do not have a serial number or other unique mark to identify them. If you deal with this scam artist make sure you mark your parts if you are the seller and use a postal money order for payment. ebay/paypal is not going to stand up for you because they are only going to protect the buyer as that is how they make their money but IMHO stay as far as you can from this guy. you will be cheated.

Really? This person claims that I ripped him off? I bought an IF board for a Kenwood TS-820S from him on EBAY. Item arrived in a very lightly padded ENVELOPE...approx 10" X 6" with no stiffening/support to keep the ENVELOPE from flexing or bending. The board was CRACKED ALMOST IN HALF! This clown stated that's how he sends all his boards. Anyway, I have just short of 2000 EBay transactions with 100% POSITIVE feedback. I have only had problems with 4 sellers in almost 5 years and "bob472" was one. Two sides to every story....I just found out about this post today...January 31, 2015. ..."bob472" did not have the "stones" to post this on QRZ...or any other site(that I know of). I hope he has not ripped off others...he just got caught and called out on it by me...and is stomping his feet and having a tantrum because he got caught. I hope more people call him out on his tactics

He can not even remember WHAT board he sold me...he says RF board...it was NOT..it was an IF board...of course his picture(s) were different from mine!

He states to use only USPS money order...geeee...I wonder why??? Tell ya why..NO RECOURSE! Once it's cashed/deposited...you are out of luck!! Ebay/PayPal protects YOU THE BUYER..from rip offs like "bob472." I don't sell radio parts...I BUY them to fix "junkers," so you get the money FROM me...you are NOT sending TO ME..."bob472" can not even get that right!
So, you be the judge

I stand by my call- WB7UQU with honesty and integrity ...how about you "bob472?"
