The Little Shits on Ebay....
Ok, well, i have had the whole weekend to think about this issue and i decided not to post anything about it when i found out cuz i was ready to burst out into tears at any second. Its getting better though....
sooo, i bid on this 40 gig apple iPod on ebay from some dude (lets call him FuckFace, FF for short) in the Netherlands. I won the auction and payed the $250cad to FF on the same day (Jan. 23). Since he is shipping from overseas, I realize that I must be patient and wait for it to come.
In the mean time, in class one day, I happened to be reading the most HILARIOUS story about a guy who scammed a scammer with the sale of the P-P-P-Powerbook. If you have time i highly suggest reading it (and the pics r soooo worth it!)! So after reading this elaborate scam story, i just happened to think about my ebay purchase, and decided to check out FF's status for shits and giggles. To my horrified belief i found THIS! Not only are his 5 most recent feedbacks negative, they also show that he is a total fraudster cuz he has hidden messages in a few of the other items in the descriptive information section saying that he is only selling a link of where to get the iPod cheap. What an ass!
So, as you can see, after reading and having a good chuckle about the scammer that got scammed, i got scammed myself.....i was all red and ready to cry in class!
here's what i'm doing about it though, and its looking like im gettin my moulah back! Since i payed with paypal, i filled a complaint with them and gave them the details. What basically happens is that if the seller can't come up with proof of shippment of the item or if they don't respond within 10 days of being contacted, it is assumed by paypal that they don't want to resolve the issue and paypal will go into their account and get my money back! yayyy!!! FF is goin dowwnnnnnnn!!!
Dougy gave me some really good info. Since eBay is a marketplace, they are responsible for people to be true to their word. Listing an item on ebay is a legally binding thing. When someone wins an auction, they are legal bound to that item and bound to paying for it, just as the seller is bound to giving that item to the winner for whatever price they won it for.
Now that my complaint is filed, they just need to resolve it, and i get my money back. Im pooped now, so i must go to be!
nighty night!
