**max power** · 11-10-2005, 01:19 AM

I HAVE A COMPUTER UP FOR SALE ON EBAY, AND I HAVE A "BUY IT NOW"
PRICE SET AT $2000. WELL SOME JACKASS HIT THE "BUY IT NOW" AND AFTER I GOT ALL EXCITED WAITING FOR HIS PAYMENT I FOUNDOUT THAT I WAS BEING SCAMMED. AND NOW I HAVE TO TECHNALLY WAIT TWO WEEKS TO RELIST IT BECAUSE OF THEIR DISPUTE PROCESS. EBAY HAS THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE IN THE WORLD ! I CANT BELIEVE THEY HAVENT BEEN HIT WITH A CLASS ACTION SUIT YET ! U CAN NOT GET HELP FROM A HUMAN EVER ! AND THER EMAIL FORM OFTEN GOES UNANSWERED. THEY SEE THEMSELVES AS ALWAYS BEING RITE AND U ARE ALWAYS WRONG !

ARRRRRRRGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sorry to hear that I hate it when that happens.

I personally just got a NICE speedometer for my buke for only $6 bucks shipped (retail value about $30)

Ya, on a 3$ ccg card I sold once the dude tried scamming. I found it funny til I had to wait like a damn month to relist it...

Ebay is all patience and pouncing :wink:

Yeah well I feel like a dumbass, I bid on a pair of fuu dog statues for my house and they seemed small and the price was like 1.50 US, but I neglected to look at the shipping (well actually it was hard to find on the add) and the 1.50 US combined with the 320.00 US to have them shipped from CHINA! I had to decline, but at least no body else bid on it.

yeah that sucks... I had bid on something a while back and it said $5.00 shipping available everywhere in NORTH AMERICA... I guess this woman figure North America is just the USA...

She argued with me that it clearly states in her ad that she only ships to America and refuses to ship to Canada...

until I pointed out that her ad says "EVERYWHERE in NORTH America" and sorry to disappoint but Canada is in North America...

well she felt pretty stupid after that... but still refused to ship to me as the listed price was not worth the shipping charge into Canada.

Sorry to hear that Adam. Aside from the one a-hole I dealt with when I first starting buying off ebay, i have had very few problems. I was buying a microscope off him. Anyway, he advertises free shipping on purchases over $79 and mine was. Instructions said seller would manually refund money after transaction was paid for. Seller refused to. I paid for one shipping service (usps) and he changed to fedex w/o my consent or notice. He claimed he was doing me a favor but turns out that fedex would take a few more days than usps to get here. He then turns the shipment around after he shipped it to me and had it returned to him. He wanted me to still pay for the item and we both ended up with negative feedback. There is alot of scammers on there, but also alot of good people. I've bought anything from ice to computers all with minimal issues.

Ice as in jewelry yes....one purchase and it was authenticated by 3 different local jewelers. I wouldn't do it again though, alot of risk involved with those type of purchases and it takes time to get things verified/tested.
