ebay item nothing like it was described, $300 wasted. What are my options

[holden j caufield]

is it fast, slow, or agonizingly slow? What are the chances of me getting my money back?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1

it was $200 + 80 shipping so technically not quite $300

 

[neovan]

link to auction?

 

[KillyKillall]

more info about item?

or did this item come from the 18+ area and posted as "feels realistic" and not meeting that description?

I had to re-read that 3 times.

 

[iwantanewcomputer]

hmmm...this thread was a lot more pointless than i thought it would be

 

[Noirish]

linky!!!

 

[Schfifty Five]

Definitely need more info.

And first try to settle things w/ seller before you involve PP or Ebay.

 

[Eeezee]

Link to the auction so we can tell you your options

 

[DVK916]

Link to the auction. Good chance you are screwed out of 300 dollars unless you used a credit card.

 

[Rumpltzer]

Those pills never work. You should have known better.

Read + Re-read + Re-read + Re-read = 4 Reads

You read it 4 times? Just wanted to do the math.

it's tough to explain surfboard stuff as I'm sure not too many here surf. Anyways it has lots of damage that is not pictured and repairs add weight to a surfboard so it won't perform as it should. Also one of the fins doesn't stay in and simply falls out. Basically not useable or "in good condition". He also says the dings are 1 inch long but there is a repair spot that is 1 1/2 Feet long

Did it get damaged during shipping?

Shipping insurance
Not offered

 

[alien42]

so are surf boards still in short supply and high demand after that big manufacturer went out of business?

no this is clearly been damaged then repaired.

 

[DVK916]

Very unlikely PayPal or Ebay will help you. The auction doesn't qualify for Paypal buyer protection.

 

[DVK916]

Your only chance of getting money back is doing a charge back if you used a Credit Card. Other than that you are so out of luck.

yes the making of poly surfboards are in short supply. But this board doesn't use a clark blank so it's not affected

Technically all of your descriptions fit the auction. It is "water tight" and surfable, and everything has been fixed. When it said that there was damage you should have known that there was repair work.

You're pretty fvcked

No it's not surfable. The fin won't stay in.

Also if you didn't buy with a CC your only option is to leave a negative feedback to protect other buyers.

LOL's I wrote it, read it, and I still don't know exactly what I'm trying to get across. Typing real fast when you're mad is not a great way to coherently get your point across
