I won an auction for a set of 4, 14" alloys last month. I sent the seller a Moneygram at his request, since I don't use PayPal.
We were in contact a few times and he said he would get the tires dismounted and send the wheels. After 2 weeks, I started e-mailing asking for tracking #s and he said he would try to find the receipt. Then nothing.... I opened a Claim with e-Bay and they say I'm covered by their "Buyer Protection" Anyone have any experience with this ?? I think I'm out 300.00 Oh, yeah.. the guy had perfect feedback 37 Positives.. No negatives.. Guess I'll have to wait to see, as they give him 7 days to respond..  |

Well, as I pretty much expected, e-Bay bagged out without doing anything.
I found out that this guy not only got me, but he had a second Auction a few days later for 6-7" 15" fuchs that a guy won and paid by PayPal but never got. He got a refund from PayPal though. e-Bay did give me this place to file a Claim The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) is a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C), and the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). I also contacted the Police in the Sellers Jurisdiction. In Massachusetts, over 200.00 theft is a Felony. but I'm not sure in Minnesota. I really doubt anything will come out of it besides I lose 309.00, But I'll play the game and see what happens. Funny, But e-Bay hasn't even suspended the guy yet ?? I have never used PayPal, since I don't give my Credit Card info out on-line.. this time, it seems like it has bit me though. Anyone here live near Stillwater Montana ?? |
