Back in October 7th I purchased a Video from a user on Half.com Payed with a Credit Card.
Figured I would have my movie in about 2 or 3 weeks. Well at 4 weeks nothing. So on November 7th I sent feed back to half.com that no movie. They said they would give him two chances to respond he did not. So about 10 days or so later they refunded my $$ I left negative feed back for this person. A while after that this user responded to the negative feed back and said he sent the movie and left a confirmation #. Well low and behold about 2 weeks later the movie showed up. Actually several days after the confirmation said it did.
When the video was received I had no way to contact the seller they were very secretive with e-mail.
I emailed half.com with to find a way to contact them so I could repay them. Nothing. So I emailed again and got a letter that they would not give me this sellers info.
So i figured they would contact me. Well today I get a letter in all capital letters demanding payment of $5.75 or they will file criminal charges with e*ay (did not know they where a law enforcement agency 😛 learn something new every day) they also said they would use the delivery confirmation and file a complaint with the postal inspecters in my city. I contacted them and they said they are a delivery agency and disputes between users are between users not them. Unless I deliberately commited fraud. The fact that I payed first and waited a month and a half for the video is not fraud on my part. I have no problem paying and will write them a check and mail it tomorrow. This person could have used more tact. Will post the letter when I get home.
I know this is only my side but I will invite this person to join anandtech and post their side 🙂
Heck I am just ranting I think this is a big joke.
