OK then, so perhaps the end of the saga,
I opened a dispute with Paypal, with Philip on the 16th of Sept and he replied to my Paypal email the same day. Then no reply to SIX more emails. Finally after asking him to confirm again when and if he had sent my motor he said that there was no 700c wheel in the whole of China. He then agreed to giving me 745 of my 840 back. So he took my money and cashed it before sending a motor/wheel that he didn't have, then, though he knew he couldn't send me a GM motor he sent me 2 USED BROKEN batteries. Here in Japan I have to PAY to throw these suckers away!!!! And he's charging me 95 dollars for the pleasure of a months stress and shipping costs!!!!!
I understand that some of you have good motors and batteries (you've been lucky), maybe the bike that the motor or battery was stripped from had a fault with the bell or something. But generally speaking this is a scam of some sort. No packaging, no instructions, no emails after paying, lying about shipping and inventory, come on guys China has sent up space-ships and satellites, they made the TV you're watching tonight - you don't think they know how to pack a box and photocopy instructions!!! There's something smelly here.....
Of course we need a forum to help us with these motors (those that were lucky enough to get them) but we can't let anyone else be treated like this. It's just not right. The least we can do is keep a story like this near the top of the board as a warning to others.
