USPS Mail
 

So dec 15th i won a video camera on ebay so i could start filming my hunts and shooting tests. This SOB on ebay is trying to tell me he sent it out dec-26th. Here we are, 6 days short of being a MONTH! Im searching for the companies phone number right now and they better hope i dont find it because someones about to get an arse chewing.

Supposedly he didnt get a tracking number. I think he didnt like the price i got the camera for and is holding on to it.

It was a nice camera too.

Hey MD - lodge a complaint with Ebay. That's why I only use Paypal or credit card - then I can dispute it. I just bought a new bow today. (sorry guys)

It Happens all the time on e-bay, more often than you think. I have been selling on e-bay for 4 years now. Recently E-Bay changed it rules to only accept pay-pal and credit cards for purchases. So I assume you used that form of payment? If you did, then get a-hold of Pay-Pal, telephone number is ( 1-888-221-1161 ) and they'll help you out. I also have e-bay's phone number but you need a pin# to use with it and Im sorry but you could'nt use it if your not me calling or I'd give it to you. Anyway I hate deadbeat sellers and I hope you get what you paid for. It has happened to me befor and in most cases you'll get your money back because the seller did'nt get what he wanted, so he refused to ship it. That's what e-bay auctions are for, the winning bid should win, period, no matter what the price. And I hope you did'nt send a MO or personal check. Good Luck. Ron

opened one with ebay not to long ago. Told him to either get me a tracking number or his phone number.

Did you use PayPal?

RE: USPS Mail
 

money order. He agreed in an email to refund my money last week but i told him i want the camera that i paid for.

What was his feedback score? I won't buy from anybody unless their feedback is 98% positive or better. Somebody that has been selling on there for any length of time and has a rating close to 100% is almost certainly going to be reliable. If they weren't they would have a bunch of bad feedback. I also won't buy from anybody that doesn't take paypal.

RE: USPS Mail
 

I think you are exactly right. What kind of a seller wouldn't get tracking and delivery conformationon an item as expensive as a camera

RE: USPS Mail
 

99.4

i read his feed back before i placed a bid. 99.4% of it was good, thats why i think he didnt like the price it went for and isnt sending it and hopes i will ask for a refund.

would you refund someone their money if you actually sent something to the buyer and then they claim they have not received it?

i have well over a month invested into this and i damn sure am going to get it one way or the other.

RE: USPS Mail
 

I doubt he'll admit to having the camera, even if he does. I would take the refund.

RE: USPS Mail
 

If hewas an experiencedseller that wanted to maintain his positive rating, he would probably bite the bullet and refund your money in that situation. Then again, if he was an experienced seller he should have known better to ship it without any tracking. Since he did he has no way of knowing if a buyer is trying to get a freebie.

You could be right. He might be trying to screw you, but you have no way of knowing for sure. I would take the refund andlook for another one.

I have learned over the course of 4 years of selling on E-Bay and I have a 100%+ FeedBack, that I WILL NOT buy or bid on a item no matter how good it is unless I have delt with the seller befor, or I have had a fellow friend e-bayer reccomend them. It's just not worth the hassle as what your going through. 3 years ago I bought over $2,000.00 worth of Coins from a seller who claimed he shipped them, he kept giving me false tracking numbers, and kept selling the same coins to other buyers. Finally I caught on and contacted e-bay and told them, and they did NOTHING! I also contacted the other buyers he was selling to and they did'nt believe me. Well a long story shot, the other sellers did'nt get there's either, and they e-mailed me saying they wished they had, and some of them sent MO's and lost there money. I finally after 2 months got my money back from my credit card company, without e-bay's help, Pay-Pal helped me. And then e-bay finally threw him off e-bay and the credircard company put a lean on him. So beware and check the preveious buyers of sellers items and ask them what there experiences were with the seller befor you bid. Most Sellers are good people, but there are always a few bad apples in the bunch. I really hope you get your camera. Like this forum, and your help......I always ask befor I buy......Best of Luck to You!
