Sorry to be posting so much about ebay, but I've had some really bad luck these past few weeks (no, still no word about the pants, but I gave him 5 days to ship them or threatened to file a fraud complaint with his local police).
Anyway. I paid for an Auction for America item using Billpoint, and get another bill from the seller telling me I had to pay again, because "I wasn't supposed to pay using Billpoint." The item I won was a CD. It cost $2.99, and all Auction for America items should have free shipping (it was in the rules, and I sold some stuff to donate money to the September 11th Fund and I covered all the shipping costs myself) because it's for charity, so the total cost should have been $2.99, which I sent.
The seller told me he wouldn't send me the CD because I had to send $2.99 plus $5.50 shipping and handling ($5.50 for a CD!) to his paypal account. I sent him all the Auction for America rules, but he skirted around them. Finally, I gave up after one month, left him biting negative feedback, and he leaves me a negative feedback in return. Funny, he didn't answer my e-mails for over two weeks, but as soon as I leave him a negative feedback, he leaves one for me, too.
This is the second non-deserved negative feedback I've gotten so far (yeah, pants boy left me one too). Is there anything at all I can do about it besides explain what happened on my about me page? It really sucks, because it's screwed up my perfect feedback rating.
And I was up to almost 60, too.
EDIT: What also pisses me off is that this seller made other people pay via paypal (it was a dutch auction), and a lot of them did, apparently. The money that was supposed to go to the Auction for America charity didn't, because of this cheating slimeball. He didn't have to pay insertion or final value fees, either.
