riped off need help

As many know I was ripped off when I bought my truck. The guy who sold my truck said it was rust free and original paint. well we know that was a lie and now I have proof as the guy is selling another truck with the exact same paint color (non ford original) this would likely prove he has the trucks painted before selling them. What I need is for someone to contact him through e bay and ask him or tell him they are very interested in buying the truck but you see it is not an original ford paint option. telling him you wish to paint your camper and trailer to match the truck but would need to know if he knows the color . I need the color to paint my truck fenders and top of the truck. the auction no# is 322098198490 it is a black and silver color. If you could help me it would be great. please post up if you will so a bunch of people don't do it.
Mike

"Sure if your the luckybuyer I'll buy you the paint" is what he said.

I guess I missed your post about the original problem. No recourse through ebay? This guy sounds like a real jackass.

I read through his seller feedback. Mostly all positive. I didn't see any negative feedback from you. One way of stopping or at least slowing down scammers is letting other people know about your experience with them.

He shut his business account down due to me. He is now selling on his personal account. He has 4 accounts to my knowledge all not used due to the bad feed back. do a google on him you will find pages on pages.
How can i make a claim on something i have cut up and modified. I cant. e bay does not care as the history has shown. I can sue him but I need to go there to do it. Not worth it. I own all his web sites and they are feeding info to people. I need to work on that more. I see some craigs list coming up on him too.

The claim should have been made when discovered the issues.

If you need the paint code then any automotive body supply store can scan the truck to get the paint code

I kind of like that color scheme. If you get the code can you post it?

I noticed the front seat on the truck he has for sale now looks pretty worn for 108k miles. Mine is still perfect after almost twice those miles.

He has been prosecuted and lost his license for changing out insterment cluster to make the truck look like it has fewer miles. He now sells under his wife name.
