Was I too harsh?

So about 14 months ago I bought a console for my car on eBay. Sent the money after hearing from the seller, and waited........and waited.... Emailed the seller, asked where it was, no reply... Waited some more, filed a complaint on eBay & PayPal...


PayPal & eBay couldn't contact the seller so they ruled in my favor and refunded me $15.70 of the $40.70 I paid for the console + shipping leaving $25 she owed me.


I got her phone number, address, name, her fathers name, (soon to be ex, probably my fault) boyfriends cellphone number, and started calling. They all kept putting the blame on somebody else. I didn't care, it was her account, she is the one responsible for the transaction gone bad.


Well, they kept leading me on - saying they'd send the money they'd send parts they'd do something... Well, I got sick of waiting, and filed a complaint with the National White Collar Crime Center for internet fraud/transactions --- they like dealing with assholes like this. (Mind you they screwed 3 people on ebay in a row with Mustang parts, a couple hundred bucks worth) ..... Well, I decided to wait until recently. I sent her another email telling her that either I get my $25 or I will send the report to a few other agencies and pretty much make her life a living hell over $25 if thats what it took to set it right.

It's been over a year, her excuse was always that she was a single mom that didn't make enough money (even though her dad told me he'd pay me to set it straight, ha... and she lived with him anyways) --- yet I put her on a Yahoo Messenger list to find she's always on Yahoo and typically using a mobile phone. It sure is nice to see she has her priorities straight. So I send her another email - and FINALLY hit a nerve I think... Her reply goes:

I told u in the last email i sent u that i would send u your money and 4 the last time im not the one that ripped u off so quit accusing me of shit i didnt do u send me a address and ill send u the money order


:laugh: :laugh: I think she figured its only $25 and most people would forget about it... Not me! She must not know, I'm a greedy fucker, and I never forget about money... :icon_mrgr

Am I the only one who would have pursued it for so long?
 
You have to be ruthless when comes to Ebay because they wouldn"t cut you any slack if it was the other way around. I like dealing with people on the forums that i belong to because at least you kinda know who you are dealing with. And most forums have their own little positive/negative feedback threads. Fuck Ebay.
 
NO such thing as TOO HARSH. Tell people how it is, Dont sugar coat it. if they dont like wel i wasnt put on this planet to make friends.

Dead beat buyers/Sellers PISS ME OFF !
 
I've been selling a few things on Ebay these days. If I don't receive payment or contact within 48hrs I report them as "Non-paying bidder".

Fuck'em. They had time to bid. They should have time to pay or make contact.
 
Hell no dude, It happened to me on a $48 MSD coil for my stang and I sued the bitch for $48 got my money back and then some. I called her everyday 3 times a day. Once when I got up at 5:30am then at 12pm during lunch then at 1am at night! Made their life a living hell for 3 months straight!!!

I love that shit!!!

Son-of-a-bitch!

I just got an e-mail from a guy on Ebay.

Me-Just wondering if you had sent payment on the auction you won?

Bidder-Give me a few days. I've got to pay a few people first.

Me-Are you kidding me? You bid on my auction and you don't have the money to pay? I'm going to report you as a non-paying bidder if I don't have payment within 48hrs.

WHAT THE HELL?!?!? I'd be pissed, too!!!!!!
 
It' get better! Here is his response to me.

Bidder-Q: Because I buy about $30,000 of products a month from all kinds of different people.

Me-OK. That's great. I'm not concerned about how much money you spend a month. Don't you think as a business person you should have some capital to work with? Do you go to the store purchase something and then ask if you can pay a few days later? You don't have a line of credit with me.

What an asshole :lol:

did you use ups or somthing with a tracking number? THAT is the only way I send stuff out!
 
I got go suckered for $1750 motor from a a$$hole on Stangcrazy about two years ago. I went to small claims court in PA to try to get my money. Only got half back so far from the loser. Court awarded me restitution.

The idiot sold the motor to two people. The guy that actually got the motor, a regular NMRA factory stock racer said the bottom end of the motor is garbage.

Now I am in the process of getting the court to sell off his assets until I get the remaining amount of money he owes me plus court costs.

I feel for your story.
 
I only accept Paypal payments and I don't ship until the money has been
transferred to my checking account. Usually about two business days.
