Fun on eBay......

In November I bid for a game for PS2.

Never got here. I emailed the seller. And emailed again. And instituted eBay's system to handle such.

Since I paid with PayPal, I started that system as well. After 10 days, PayPal heard nothing back from the seller and refunded my money.

Then eBay contacted me, and the seller never responded to them either. As a result, I left the following message in the seller's feedback:

"Never delivered item, never returned email, ended with my money back from PayPal"

A check with his feedback shows that he's got a rep for ignoring emails and never sending products. Well, it also seems he's got a rep for being verbally offensive as well. Because I got the following back:

"A liar & thief hiding behind private f/b. Item was shipped & delivered. VERMIN."

All I can say to this is if you see an auction by "Videogameya". avoid. He's not worth the hassle.

Same thing happened to me with a different seller. Everytime I emailed the seller using both his ebay and paypal email addresses, I CC'd them to myself and saved them just in case I needed them as proof. I documented everything I did, and still never heard from the seller. PayPal was able to reimburse most of the money I paid the seller, the person apparantly didn't have that much in his paypal account. I am now obsessed with making sure I read feedback.

I always check the feedback. In this case, a majority of the negative feedback he's recieved in the last six months has happened in the last six weeks, after I ordered. Woof.
