Well, here is your chance to leave some negative feedback outside of E-bay.
Post the link to the auction.


Jim Douglas January 28th 05 11:32 AM

I bid,
I won,
I paid,
I never received product,
Two weeks later,
I sent email, where is my radio?
He email back to me, what radio you never paid,
Days goes by, I sent bank statement showing $$ going to him via PayPal on
day of auction ending?
He says never got it,
I say bull****?
Week goes by, I see later bank statement where he has sent $$ back to my
account?
I say WTF?
He says never did it?
I say WTF?
I leave - feedback, what a ass!
He leave feedback what a ass!
Both have negative feedback! What a ass!

He sell's same radio for 50 bucks more than I won for? Ok now I get it!

I monitored his auctions for a while and emailed bidders to look a a site
where I had ALL documentation including bank statements and all
messages back and forth and said "Do you want to send $$ to this guy!".

BOTTOM LINE -sorry it took this long
To me wife is better looking that Marilyn Monroe, but my friends think she
looks like porky pig!

I bought a radio described as in very good condition. when I got it, I

would
rate it fair to good. when I wrote the seller, here was his first

response:

I am sorry to hear that but this item is being sold
as-is. This was listed
very clearly. There is nothing we can do for you on this item.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.



no where did he address that he was not giving the truth in the auction.

when I told him I would have to leave a negative for him, here was his
response:

Expect a negative in return for a buyer who doesn't read
auctions and is quick to leave negative feedback. Hope
your perfect record is worth it.


now where does "as-is" mean you can LIE about the item you are selling ?

How
was I quick, I wrote him and he told me tough luck !

this is an area where the eBay system is seriously flawed. How can I give

a
negative without getting one I don't deserve. maybe a class action alw

suit
is in order here !

Read through the ebay website rules about leaving feedback. Find out the
length of time you have to leave feedback; this used to be 90 days 3 years
ago, which is why I'm saying you should look it up.

Calculate the date 90 days (or whenever) from the date the auction ended.
Circle the date on your calendar. Remember the time the auction ended.
Simply leave negative feedback less than an hour before the feedback
expiration period.

I know this might sound kinda dumb, but it is the best shot you have at
leaving a well-deserved negative feedback without receiving a retaliation
feedback in return.


There is no set date.

Feedback can be left after the 90 day mark - just through a backdoor.
If someone is smart enough, they know how.

While most people on Ebay are in my experience fundamentally honest,
they all have different ways of describing the same thing. If I say
something is in "good" condition my standards may not be the same as
yours. That's why it is so important to ask the seller specific
questions before bidding...on anything. Did you ask him any questions
about the condition of the radio before bidding?

Unless a seller describes something as new with no wear and operating
perfectly you have to assume that it is used. While some sellers
provide exhaustive descriptions many don't. For your self protection
you have to determine that the radio is really in the condition you
hope it is.

It isn't so much a horror story as it is a story of 2 people not
communicating.
