Rant: I FVCKING HATE EBAY!

[Horus]

So, last week I won an auction for THIS.

Pretty good deal from my perspective. Memory stick, nearly top-end PDA w/ BT and Wireless, and a case, for a little over 300 canadian.

I win it last wednesday, send PP immediately. I email the guy the next day to ask for some info, mainly "Have you sent it, and do you have a tracking number?" He responds, "I sent it yesterday." weird, but ok.

Fast forward to today. I get home from work, to find a package. I eagerly open it, to find not the x51 I was expecting, but a refurbished x50, inside a BADLY used case, with no stylus, dock, and a dead battery.

Do I have the right to demand a refund for this? I think I do.

EDIT: I uploaded some pictures so y'all can see.

PayPal dispute time!

 

[msi1337]

hell ya you deserve a refund and that guy needs to get a seriously negative feedback!

 

[UDT89]

just file a paypal claim and a claim with ebay RIGHT off the bat.

then contact them

 

[chambersc]

yes u do.

 

[jadinolf]

I would think so since it is not as listed.

 

[Jmman]

That sucks. They have to have at least a feedback score of 100 for me to even consider buying from them.......

 

[dartworth]

it wasn't ebay that sold you the POS...

 

[essasin]

Lightly used but in mint condition great PDA!!! YEA RIGHT!

 

[Horus]

Grr...eBay won't let me file a dispute for another 4 days.

Just tell them your CC wont let you wait another 4 days and that you like them more.

 

[dethman]

dont' buy stuff from people with feedback less than 100, and from buyers, not sellers. for ANY PRICE.

that guy has only sold one item before. you screwed yourself.

 

[mrchan]

19 feedback, only 1 previously sold item.

Sorry dude, hope paypal/ebay sticks up for you.

times like this is when you wish there was an actually ACME corporation that sold boxing gloves on a spring for when you mailed the package back to that piece of crap seller he would get a nice surprise

POW!!! right in the kisser

Do a chargeback on your credit card as well... Might as well tell paypal who's boss in this situation...

You can protest, but only because the model is different than advertised. You already knew it was used, so refurbished or not, you weren't cheated. The stylus, dock, and battery are not specifically listed, and he makes no claims as to the condition of the case.

who said it was?

the thread title and the contents of the OP are different. the title was meant to draw you into here to read it.

I dunno. That PDA (the PDA, not the case) is far from "mint".

I generally don't buy from people using "stock photos" and I never sell things without specifying that the item shown in the pics is the item that's being sold.

The PDA is completely different than the one I paid for. I paid for an X51 mid, recieved a Refurbished X50 mid. Somewhat peeved off.

If you havent done so yet...file a complaint right away with paypal and ebay and get your $$$ back

 

[Trikat]

I would file the PayPal dispute right now and chances are you will get your money back.
I like sellers who provide actual pictures, but many times it is a reused picture or a stock picture.
