I Am Having Major Problems Getting An Engine From Him That Was Paid For Almost A Month Ago.

I Hope To Hear Positives But If The Negatives Rule Then That Will Determine Our Next Course Of Action, Possibly Legal.

I had a frusterating experience with a Tekamah (Porsche parts store) on ebay. I bought a shift boot from tekamah on ebay and paid for it as soon as the auction was over. It was as advertised so I left positive feedback. Tekamah would not not leave me any feedback even after (some time later) I sent a message asking if they would please leave me feedback. I never got a response or any feedback. I don't think I will buy from them again.

Maybe we are talking about the same Tekamah. Either way, best of luck with your situation.

Never an issue when I did biz. But then I drove to his place to pick up my part. He is on a farm in Nebraska and has a zillion 944 parts. One huge steel building packed top the ceiling. I do know a while ago Kirk was ill and had surgery so Linda(wife) did most of the details. He seems like a good guy just a bit on the rural rough side. Perhaps I was lucky.

Eagle....She does not have time to give credit reports, that I can vouch for. Not the sharpest nails in the box has a bit to do with no feedback given....edit....not to be mean they just are down home type.

I've always had very good luck and service from them.

A few years ago, I purchased a used cam from them. One of the lobes had a nick on it. The ad stated it was in good condition. I returned and received a prompt refund.

You may need to allow more time as packing and shipping an engine requires major effort. I recall a while back purchasing a cylinder head and other parts and elapsed time was over a month.
