I have a huge Ebay problem, and I need everyone's advise :(

[DevilsAdvocate]

Hehe... John -

I thought you were calling me out. Nevermind.

 

[WHSLacrossekid]

Time to hit the sack....Here's his latest e-mail....guess he needs time to think



<< I'll let you know my response with details tomorrow. >>

 

[DevilsAdvocate]

eBay sucks... I have started to have some real problems with these folks.

 

[cressida]

keep updated

 

[im2smrt4u]

<< HAHA no reply from the idiot....looks like he screwed himself when he said about the airbags >>



The question would be, did you actually USE airbags?

 

[Nutdotnet]

Hey bud, I hope everything works out for ya. You might want to direct the guy to this thread.........let him know how many people are supporting you on this issue.

 

[WHSLacrossekid]

I wouldn't call them airbags. I can't really explain what it was. I got a bunch of it in another package so i just put it in there as a filler/padding. It was kinda like deflated airbags, but not really

 

[littleman]

man, that sucks the big one. Hope you get everything resolved. That response you had was pretty good. Keep us updated!

 

[CrazyDe1]

call his bluff...tell him you shipped all 7, tell him the weight for each individual item, and the total for all 7 items + box..say something to the effect that on my shipping receipt it shows the weight was 9 lbs, each package weighs 1.2 lbs, so theres no way a box makes up the differnece....then go to USPS website or wahtever, and calculate shipping for the package...make sure it matches your shipping cost....tell him to check the box out, and theres a label at the top corner stating the shipping price...he should look at that and verify the weight of the package...if he has any other problems...I'm assuming you insured it..take it up w/ the post office, and they'll refund his money..this is why I always have delivery confirmation and insurance just in case someone tries to jack me...they can track package was actually sent...and if for some reason something is missing, the post office covers it, so in effect, I don't care what happens to the package after I send it, becuase I've gotten my money and if I need to refund it to them i get it through the psot office. The other word of advice is insurance is calculated for every 50 bucks...so I usually insure something for 99 dollars if its 100...or 249 if its 250..it doesn't save much, but every little bit helps if you ship a lot.

update?

 

[SCSIfreek]

the guys trying to screw you. If you got the prove of a 9 lb postage. You're all set.

Why don't you get your friend to make two more copies?

 

[Nutdotnet]

<< Why don't you get your friend to make two more copies? >>



Why would he want copies? These are legit versions............

 

[WHSLacrossekid]

Haven't heard from him yet today

hmmmm....

 

[WHSLacrossekid]

<< Why don't you get your friend to make two more copies? >>



What do you mean by that? Are you accusing me of selling pirated software or something?

 

[ShallowHal]

<< Bought them off of somebody to resell...

1st thing i did was empty paypal... >>



Sounds rather fishy. If they're legit, my apologies.
I don't see how this gentleman can give you bad feedback on a deal outside of E-Bay.
Hope it works out for you. Cheers

i dont know about you, but those pics sure make it look legit to me.. and since the buyer makes no mention of the legitmacy of them, they must be the real deal..

update?

 

[Miramonti]

I wonder if there's any more info on the computers at the post office. It didn't look like there was a transaction # on the receipt unless its "419202" but maybe on your credit card receipt there's a transaction number that can be referenced in their computers. A long shot but maybe worth checking.

 

[WHSLacrossekid]

It's transaction #48 lol.....No update as of now..

BTW, I wouldn't sell pirated software...it was 100% legit

 

[WHSLacrossekid]

Someone on here is in contact with him or something because he knows about this thread now.


I'm going to check with USPS and search what happened. The receipt you
have does not have enough information as others have.

Your receipt has an acceptance date March 29, 2002, 13:30:39 and USPS
shows 13:29 The time is different. It seems you ship another box almost
at the same time.


ps. I'm not an idiot as you say in your emails at anandtech's forums.

He is an idiot if he thinks that minor time variance matters. CLUE: They are two different clocks; clocks don't keep perfect time.

[WHSLacrossekid]

I believe that the difference was the time between the information entered the computer till she scanned the delivery confirmation sticker....

Sheesh

 

[PlatinumGold]

whenever your doing business, no matter how well you dot our i's and cross your t's there's someone out there trying to screw you.

thats why there is an old boys network. people like to do business with people they can trust.

 

[DevilsAdvocate]

Shallowhal -

The pics that Josh provided certainly look like these were legitimate copies. Read the whole thread before you accuse someone of software piracy.

Josh is a good guy. I've dealt with him before. He is not out to screw anyone.
