Hey. I bought a Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer from ebay. I lost my money once to somone else, but i didnt think it would happen again. But, i thought wrong. Some i love you took my money again. He kept on saying he would ship it but never did. Its been past 1 month and i still didnt get my shipment. What would you guys do?

Edit: I have his address, maybe that will make a difference.

what do u mean his rating went down 10? i wasn't aware that ebay ratings can go down. do u mean he got 10 negative feedbacks since? i would keep persuing the matter with the seller. do u have his address? i think u can request his phone number on ebay. have u done that?

step one: file under ebays awful buyer biased insurance policy
step two (if applicable): go to paypal and file under their insurance policy
step three: welcome to my world

His rating fell because people gave him negative feedback. I have his address, if that helps. It is very hard to communicate with him. I would send him 20 emails, and he would respond once, then wouldnt respond again.

Nz, I can assure you, I really don't care that you are a homosexual. You can drop the disguise.

simple way to avoid getting ripped of on ebay, always pay with plastic, they will protect u.

money cash diamonds, unmarked bills is just asking for trouble. paypal too, i pay cyberwings by paypal and miss the complaint deadline by 1 day (30th day a no go) and there goes my $8. woulda filed sooner but they kept stringing us along.

call the cops on him and get him investigated, however if he is ripping many ppl chances are that's a transitory address

I think thats his real address. People are still giving him good feedback, but even more are giving negative.

Friends don't let friends by stuff off E-Bay.

You could have bought that same mouse for like $20 on NewEgg.com and received it in 3 business days.

Hopefully, you are smart enough to leave E-GAY alone.

Silly guy.. Ebay is for Sellers, not buyers. Well.. Not smart buyers anyway. ;)

User ratings can go up and down. Each time you are given a negative, the rating goes down if it's from a unique user. If you buy 100 things from someone and give them a negative for each item, you will only count as 1 against their user rating. They will get the negatives on their record, but it will only affect their rating once. Same goes with positives. Neutrals keep your rating the same.

This guy must've turned bad in a hurry if he went from a 100+ rating to 10. I bet there are others investigating him as well if that's the case.
