Bad experience(business buy or sell) with VSC members

So I was wondering, what is the deal with these banned members and others I many have missed? I was wondering why they got banned, if thats even a public reason. Just so i know if its not a permanant banned what should we look for, like not doing business with them, or just straight up not responding ect. 
 
I know for Grant(Yokotas13)10 damn months and he has yet to give me my visors or money back. I dont give a s*** how busy you are or whatever bulls*** excuse you are giving, something should be done. I would just like a refund of my money now. Has anyone else had a bad experience with someone on this forum, who is not banned yet and has not given you money or product, or someone who is already banned? Because I think as a community, we should be able to know about these things to make sure no one else gets screwed over.
 
I know on other forums(like Zilvia) they have a rating spot just for good and bad experiences so you know how to look out for and who is a good person to do business with.

The idea of rating sellers for their experiences is a good idea so buyers have a good idea if buying a product from them is a good idea.

You know 75% of people on this site are bad ass trust worthy stand up guys! I have had many good experiences with most guys on here and made some cool friends in the process but there is one guy who is on notice, a certian BRIAN STYLES owes me 75$$$$. Mods r helpin but I think the rest of this site needs to know, I hope trader ratings come back soon!

Only takes one person to fuck it up for all of us. 
 
sucks
 
because you have to open threads like these and ask yourself who is trustin and who is not. 
Ive gotten screwed on other forums from buyers so i try to stay local or socal since i can drive down in 3hrs so no biggy for me. 
 
also thats y its good to have real vendors on here, and legit business that sell goods.

This is what i question now sometimes though. Because BrianStyles was I think a Mod/Admin/Vendor or whatever he was and Yokotas13(Grant) was a vendor as well...and now look at whats its come to.
 
Now im not trying to say ANYTHING negative about the vendors we have now, Im just speaking from trends or things I noticed lately.

been talking to a friend of mine here in ATL and he was also ripped off by BRIANSTYLES, stuff like this makes u not want to do transactions with anyone one here besides real vendors (autofashion, fizz, etc)

yeah BrianStyles got me good. and... i hope Grant delivers with my wheels because i dont have the strength to get fucked by two guys at the same time.

[B]FYI:[/B] Those two were banned for different reasons. 
 
Brianstyles was banned due to ripping people off tho

true i get what your sayin but im reffering like autofashion or pg motoring those type of business. Full legit have a place stable. background+rep.
compared to the solo dude sellin some rims or accessories. 
 
 
Ive bought stuff from grant before thru zilvia workd out great. brianstyles dont know about him. 
 
But I can see shops doin the same I workd at a shop before and i saw good things and bad things.

I got screwed by grant too...he sent me some jdm headlights for 1st gen LS and one came in broken...he hasn't given me any insurance info on the boxes so i can claim the damage and he won't even buy me the other side even if i covered the expense of the one headlights...

Yea, I didnt do my research on him I made some stupid moves on that deal. I trust a lot of people on here, I have had some great transaction and very accomidating sellers, but when I sold my spring I guess Brian saw me as a target. Well I guess you live and you learn but thats lame that people still try to take advantage of a really close car culture like ours.

that sucks.... we should have a itrader score like clublexus

Yea, but when you say REAL vendors, Grant was one at one point.

Well the thing with Grant is he wasnt just a dude selling rims and accessories, he was a vendor, who is sapose to be a trusted member of this community, selling rims and accesssories.

We had trader ratings a few months back, I think with all this shit happening we need to bring it back if possible

I don't understand why we don't have a rating system or a room for vouches.

YokotaS13 was banned for a different reason and it had nothing to do with selling on the forum. Brian Styles on the other hand, we are currently working on a resolution. 

To further assure members of purchasing from a trust worthy vendor, VSC will require future vendors to provide a current business license under the name they will be operating on this forum. Furthermore, we will look into iTrader ratings again. We had it before but I believe we took it out because it had something to do with slowing the site down.

BrianStyles was never an administrator or a vendor. He was a vBulletin coder for the site. Unfortunately, he decided to abuse his permissions as a coder and his enthics were not in place. Therefore we had to part ways.
