Re: AM/FM ebay ripoff and I lost out!
Quote:
In September (!) I bought a GMC fleetside tailgate on EBAY to add to my collection (!) . Unfortunately, I paid this loser Rick Schwarte from Greendale IN. with a money order, so I cannot get my $ back through Screwbay. I did not know it, but apparently The loser was using his girlfriend's EBAY account. I mailed it to the name and address EBAY provided: Bobbie Flanagan in Cincinatti OH. Later he sends an email saying to send it to another address Rick Schwarte Greendale IN. . Too late, payment was already sent. Then I heard nothing for 2 wks. I kept calling the cell # I had til someone finally answered, she claims she is the guy's girlfriend's sister. She said that there was a nasty break up and her sister has a restraining order against him. I tell her I don't care about their white trash soap opera. She then gave me the guy's dad's (Richard) phone #. I have talked to both of them numerous times, and every time, I can hear the dad having to coerce "little Ricky" to talk to me. After several weeks of BS and promises, his dad calls me last Friday saying that he will ship it for me. That was weeks ago. I just called and left a message requesting and update. Why are people such losers? I have had to resort to leaving numerous phone messages attacking their personal character in order to get a response! I never used a curse word to any of them. After all of this the little jerk Ricky had the never to start cussing at me. I asked him why he felt like I should not be upset, and I guessed his little pea brain could relate and he quit the cursing. My grand dad always told us that profanity was a sign of a weak mind. I do have my moments, but try to not cuss someone out unless it is the last resort. I guess it is a better alternative than working them over with a shovel handle. (Which I have never done either.) I almost wish they would tell me to go to hell so that I can have closure and move on to "alternative measures". Update: After three months I finally got the tailgate right after Christmas. Little Ricky's mom wrapped it up and I issued a call tag and had UPS go pick it up. I had to pay to have it shipped (twice!) About the only thing that will happen is if anyone ever googles little Ricky Schwarte, it will come up that he is a thief and his mommy has to take up for him.

Re: AM/FM ebay ripoff and I lost out!
Wow that was quite an ordeal. I will never pay without the credit card through Paypal unless I know the person from the board or previous dealings. Things go near right for me on eBay for over 600 purchases and you have to get stung to realize there are plenty of thieves left out there. Thanks everyone, I just wanted to share the uselessness of Paypal and their buyer protection seal of approval and as always, pay by your credit card to Paypal!

Re: AM/FM ebay ripoff and I lost out!
Hey guys just as a side note when dealing with distant parts that require shipping, make sure to use a USPS (United States Postal Service)Money Order it is my understanding if there is any dispute such as this and it can concievably be considered "mail fraud" the USPS inspectors on on it right now and you will in all probability get resolve The inspectors will visit the address shipped from as part of the investigation. I use USPS MO in most cases involving parts purchases from independant parties it is just good protection not only that any USPO will cash em!

Re: AM/FM ebay ripoff and I lost out!
That really sucks, but when I purchase something I use one card....
American Express one phone call does it all if there is a dispute they handle it for the customer. Other than this board I do not buy from anyone else unless it is a brand new from a business. If I buy from a member here I am confident that I will get what I paid for.

Re: AM/FM ebay ripoff and I lost out!
I remember this being brought up before. It may have changed since the last time I checked but The PO does not cash the MO's even though they issue them.
Like I said this may have changed but the PO by my work sent me to the bank to take care of mine.

Re: AM/FM ebay ripoff and I lost out!
I am going through the same thing right now. Sorry for your loss. Mine racks in @ 420$. Losser cancled the item 4 days after payment. I am also fighting it.

Re: AM/FM ebay ripoff and I lost out!
Ricky was probably waiting for the bondo to dry before he sent it to you...

Re: AM/FM ebay ripoff and I lost out!
Well good news from Paypal. They have refunded my payment before my credit card got to them. They didn't share any details just that a payment was credited to my credit card for the full amount.
