Hi guys,
Ive been recently screwed by a seller on ebay. I waited a month for a product that never came (I give it a bit longer because it was international shipping). The seller then told me he would send a new one and said 2 or 3 times within a week "I will get you the tracking number today". It is past the ebay and paypal dispute policies. My friend has told me that you can simply call the credit card company and have them remove the paypal transaction. Is this possible? (I am in Canada btw so Im not sure if its different policies from the US). Im guessing if you do this paypal will freeze your account (which im cool with as long as I get my hard earned cash back).

You can do a charge back but you have to check with your credit card company because they also have a time period in wich you can do this.

The item was this
PAINTBALL BRAND NEW VFORCE PROFILER MASK REVERSE CHARCL - (eBay.ca item 250277730290 end time 12-Sep-08 12:26:24 EDT) I learned my lesson after this to open a dispute sooner, Im far too trusting by nature, and having only good experiances so far on ebay, and this has soured me. Just a small sample of the exchange: ccpaintball 07-Nov-08 at 10:23:48 EST yes we open at 10am. i have shipped your item. ill get tracking then, sorry im getting ready for big NPPL paintball tournament, havent been able to anser emails last 2 days. lori neodragonknight 06-Nov-08 at 18:46:58 EST 2 days later an no response. No more stalling or beating around the bush please, just send me the tracking number. ccpaintball 05-Nov-08 at 10:23:23 EST yes i will have tracking # today. lori neodragonknight 04-Nov-08 at 12:10:51 EST Can I have the tracking number please? ccpaintball 31-Oct-08 at 11:26:06 EDT new tracking to follow. lori ------------------ note that this was going on another week or 2 before this.

You're pretty much SOL. It sucks but all you can do is leave negative feedback.

thats weird 28000+ feedback at 99.7 percent.
I went through a similar thing once. I purchased a terror drome and it took me over a month to get it. The lady kept saying it was getting sent back to her because she didnt put enough postage on it. I kept asking for the tracking # but she kept claiming she didnt get one. 2 weeks later i got a box with half my oder. She said the other half was on its way? WTF? on the last day i could file a claim i did and a week later the other box showed up. 5 weeks total but got a complete terror drom for $150 shipped and $30 refunded to me. Strange thing though, both boxes had tracking #'s some people are just weird. |

When I asked for for the shipping number on the first package, he sent me an invalid/fake number. After that last sequence of me asking for the new tracking number above i just got fed up, and gave up talking to him, I requested a refund but I doubt Ill get it. Ill try and call VISA tomorrow I guess, might as well try.

I've done the same thing in the spirit of trying to trust another eBayer. Best thing to do in these situations is to understand that they are business transactions with time limits. If they don't live up to their end of the bargain before the time to file a dispute is up, then file a dispute. If all goes well, you cancel the dispute amicably and no harm no foul. If not, then at least you're on the road to resolving the matter...
Sorry this happened, it's hit or miss sometimes on eBay.

I had a bad experience once myself. The best thing to do is follow the instructions that Paypal has on filling a grevince with the other party. In my case, paypal gave me my money back and then they took the money out of his account. The system does work.
Good Luck with this. |
