I am trying to finish a GI JOE vintage Night Striker. I recently purchased 2 bodies on ebay and had good luck. Then at the beginning of the year, I won an auction for many parts for only $39 shipped. I was really happy... I mean really stoked about it!
Here is the auction:
eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices
I usually email the seller right after I pay, telling them I paid, and asking them nicely to please package it securely. This guy responds by refunding my money and telling me it was an old listing from a year ago and that he doesn't have anymore.
He wrote:
"Hi. Just refunded your money. Didn't realize that this auction was posted last week. Been away for the holiday. Just got back. I only have Killer Whale parts left. I think I sold this stuff a year ago. I was using the sell similar option to save time. Didn't pay much attention to the description, I guess. Had the photos still in my files.
My bad, wasn't intentional. Sorry for the inconvienence. Left ya a positive feedback. If I come accross any more parts like this I'll give ya a heads up. Thanks"
----
I then responded:
"Hi there,
I am really upset about this. I guess I don't understand. I saw that you sold a similar auction on 12-17. Why would you use a sell similar to the killer whale stuff,,, when you just sold night force parts about a week ago for $92. Now, you are telling me you don't have the items....That doesn't seem right. I am sorry, but I am going to have to go to ebay about this."
----
He then responded very unprofessionally:
"Your welcome to cry about it as much as you want from a mountain top if you like. Let alone tell Ebay. OOOOHHHH!
Facts are facts. I sell alot of different things. There was some slight confusion when listing. These things happen.
Doesn't change the out come. If I don't have the items, I can't sell'em."
----
He sold a similar item on 12-17-11 for $92 plus shipping.
eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices
So, I was thinking he just didn't want to sell to me because he didn't earn enough on the item I purchased.
Thanks to the Tank, Shadow Contact, and Lody, I found out he (NIKOLAI) advertised these parts on the Tank on 12-31-11:
http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...ler-whale.html
. The top link goes right to the ebay auction I won.
So his argument that this was a mistake and something from last year doesn't make much sense. I guess you could accidentally try to sell something. But you wouldn't advertise it by mistake.
Once he refunded the sale, he also pulled down the images he posted on photobucket.
I then filled a claim with Ebay. It is really hard to get in contact with them about this. I can't really claim the product because the sale happened and it was refunded. You have to call them and talk to them on the phone. I did get one guy who seemed like he knew what he was talking about. They said they are looking into it. But it is an "internal" investigation and I won't be able to find out what happens.
So I am writing this to educate everyone how Ebay handles these things (in case you run into this situation) and to let everyone know how ebay seller (njrenterprises), aka NIKOLAI (HissTank member) treated me. I told Ebay that this is the kind of situation that upsets our members. We'll see if anything comes of it. Thanks again to everyone who helped me... I really appreciate it!
FYI: I started a new thread for this because I realized I shouldn't have put the other thread in the EBAY B/S/T list. Sorry about that. In case you want to read the other thread:
