You should try to alert ebay about it and ente a dispute with him.

That would have been a GORGEOUS addition to your the chapter room, though, had it not been broken.

I can't give any advice because I don't do eBay Sorry!

I agree. He told you "tough luck" and refuses to refund your money. Then let him deal with the consequences of being a dishonest ebayer. Give him the negative rating. It can always be changed if he decides to do the right thing and give your money back.

Yes, you can file a complaint with eBay, which would be what I'd do. I hope you get this resolved satisfactorily, but if not, at least you'll be alerting others to think twice before purchasing from this guy. And leave him negative feedback, too.

I am not familiar with all this stuff - I did email them at customer support under the "I have a dispute with another ebayer" section. I told them that above all, I was more than anything mad about the fact he said I was trying to use "feedback extortion" - wth?! I had written in my last email to him (before that response) that I had declined filing a complaint with the USPS and would prefer NOT to leave negative feedback for him since I have never done that - even when the other seller sent only half of what was listed. If he construed that to be me twisting his arm, then that's screwed up - since when did we go from someone trying to work out things between two people, to accusing one of any kind of extortion!

So I don't know what will happen next. Honeychile sent me to a forum for being ripped off that I will definitely check out. I would say that if you are looking on ebay for some *cool finds for you* that you NOT bother - save yourself the trouble

I was recently ripped off by "APO Wholesale" on ebay. Long story short, I filed a claim through paypal and got my refund.

I usually do, but I was reminded again of how important it is to read feedback thoroughly.

Oh yeah, that's another thing. Paypal will pretty much always act in favour of the buyer if you dispute something like this. Get your money back.

The only problem is, ebay doesn't really want to try to settle a dispute.

A couple years ago, I won some ribbon on ebay from

StephanieMNelson aka
StephanieNelson
bamfranger66

She insisted on a money order, no Paypal, no check. Stupidly, I went along with it - even though the cost of the shipping/handling was four times as much as the ribbon. I never received it.

We emailed back and forth (she didn't send it yet, she did send it, she sent it a month ago...) until the 60 grace period was over. On the 61st day, she cussed me out and told me to never buy anything from her again. Ha! Like I'd trust her! We both left each other negative feedback. Hers was the only negative feedback that I have ever received; I was in contact with at least four other people who were ripped off by her. Even better, she "buys" her own stuff, and leaves glowing feedback!


I sent the entire barrage to ebay throughout the entire dispute, and kept getting a computer-generated response which was ZERO help at all.

I do use ebay regularly, but I will never buy without checking someone's reputation, OR without Paypal. At least Paypal tries to keep people honest!
