This guys name is exactly as it implies. He wants to sell his CD for $1.00 but then charge an outragous amount for shipping. I have sent 2 CD's in the mail to all over the country and it costs about $2.35 to do it. I hate when people gouge for shipping.

Guys,

You think that's bad... my friend sold this car on eBay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...item=2433268732

The buyer had it planned all along to defraud him... he purchased the vehicle insurance from ebay... later after he recieved the car (I think it was shipped to Texas), he told my friend that he's been ripped off, the engine is not original and a bunch of BS. My friend said he never claimed it's original and he never check the box that it's original mileage on pink slip.... Anyways... so he offered to refund him back the deposit of $400, if and only he left positive feedback, which he did, and said the deal is done, just to get rid of this guy.

Next thing you know, he's telling eBay he's been defrauded, wanted $1600 from eBay insurance. He told them the same, bs... that he didn't get the hard top, it's not original engine, smoke was coming out of the engine... Trust me, I know my friend wouldn't keep a f*cken hard top to a car he doesn't have any longer (I'm at his house at least once a week and I don't see a hard top laying around) and I was with him when we took the car to get smogged here in CA a couple weeks before he sold it on eBay. He was hoping to sell it local on craigslist but buyers are flaky on CL.

He threaten my friend w/ all this legal mumbo jumbo... eBay called and everything trying to get them two to settle it. But it was obvious this guy wasn't going away, calling his office, HR, home, etc. Well, my friend finally forwarded the e-mail to eBay saying how if the buyer got the deposit back that the deal is done. eBay must have squred it off with him and gave him another $200 from what I was told.

Anyways... EBAY SUCKS! It's obvious if he left positive feedback... then deal is done right... he came back trying to collect from my friend and eBay... what an A**HOLE! EBay just assumed my friend, who doesn't speak english that well, was guilty. How would it pass smog if he claims smoke was coming out of engine & exhaust and what's up w/ saying he didn't send the hard top.

Bottom line it's a $3300 car plus shipping... and the f*cken guy wanted it for free... there's premeditated thought there when he purchased insurance on a $3300 car...

I hate eBay nowadays... I've been screwed over more than once myself... both selling and buying...

I have gotten some good deals and met some nice people... but the times I got screwed over, left a bad taste in my mouth...
