A just got a call from eBay.....

So about a month and a half ago I bought a $420 coin on eBay. Paid via PayPal. Coin Never showed. Seller did not use tracking, insurance, signature, nothing. Supposedly just mailed it. I filed a PayPal dispute and they took the money out of his account right away, and I am still waiting for them to "review" the case. I am not worried. This has happened before, and I am sure PayPal is going to pay up. So last night I get an "unpaid reminder" from eBay??? This seller is trying to ding me for not paying! Too funny. I respond with all the PayPal info, etc., and two hours later I got a call from eBay today saying not to worry! They said if this guy dings me with a negative they will just remove it. Finally a crumb for being a power seller!. But hey I'll take what I can get.

    Ebay has never called me. I am jealous! image

    But I did get transferred to ebay by paypal last month. First conversation with a live ebay rep. Seller stole images of CBHs that happened to be nicer than the damaged junk she sent me. Paypal still reviewing my case and ebay NARU'd the seller. I hope they decide in my favor too!!

    I've called ebay. . . . lots of things!

    Repetition of ignorance is ignorance raised to the power two.

    What he said. Real human beings working there? (Well, okay, at least one, that we know of...)

    And they actually have a telephone?

    Cool.

    Out the scum!
  • So I don't think the seller is scum. I think (I am sure) he is just a young kid that made a stupid mistake. I don't feel good about "outing" him because other then being a litttle cheap on his shipping he seems like a good guy. Trust me he is beside himself for what happened as he is going to be out $424 and have no coin to show for it. That is pentence enough. I have no desire to beat him and would buy from him again.

    The moral of this story was only about how eBay actually called me in a preemptive situation. I thought that was worth sharing. It happens.

    I got a survey from them in my email but that same survey wasn't in my message box on eBay.
    I forwarded it to all of the email addresses from which I've received other offerings. I think these folks will eventually all gather in the same place and find each other. Anyway that is my hope.

    You should have sent that one to Spoof@ebay.com. There notes always come through their message boards. Never log into any link provided in emails from eBay in your regular email account. NEVER!
  • I have received several calls from Ebay over the years......but it is a rare occurence for sure.
