Can you post a link to the auction?

[Rick H]

Have the seller read the part about legal binding contract. Have him send a total and if he refuses contact ebay through their complaint links.

If he is the type that doesn't care about negative feedback you might be out.

Good Luck

[nuch_ss396]

Yes, you do. An eBay auction is a legal contract of sorts.

Contact the seller immediately and notify him/her that you
won the item fair & square. They could have stopped the
auction if they wanted to. Let the seller know that you
will file a fraud claim with eBay immediately if they do
not follow through. Don't let this lie dormant too long.

the ebay number is Item number: 8050992646 just got another email back saying if i would have read coment i should have know he was not going to sell it ?

[Mr70]

The item was for sale,and won by the highest bidder for $153.50.
I would contact Ebay,if that is you.

I FOUND WERE I FILE THANK'S "THIS SUCK'S" ! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

[nuch_ss396]

Josh,

Seller has just (1) feedback! There's your problem.
Someone offered him bigger $$ for the intake, so he's
going to turn you away. If you follow the links through
eBay, you can report the problem fairly easily. Don't
let this knuckle-head get away with this!

BTW, I didn't see anything on the auction where he notified
you, or anyone else that the item was already sold elsewhere. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif

no he did not at all notife me that's the thing
what is the worst thing that can happen to a seller that does not sell ? ((thank's very much for all your help))

[69LM1]

Not much. If you have the time, you can file a small claims suit against him, locally. Usually they are $35-$99 in most places and are heard by a justice of the peace. You do not need a lawyer. Pretty cool. Be prepared to lose some time and maybe some travel.

[Mr70]

Upon hearing both sides,they can suspend him temporarily from participating in any future Ebay activities,and possibly Ban as well.
Try calling Ebay Customer Support too @ 1-888-749-3229 Mon.-Fri.7:30 AM-5:30PM Pacific time.

i have got his phone number know threw ebay -would you phone him ?

[Mr70]

I would phone him & try to resolve this first in a friendly manner,then if nothing happens,contact Ebay ASAP.
You won it fair & square,and he should honor that.

[jfkheat]

If I were at home I could go pick it up for you. He is only about 40 miles from me.

'THANK YOU EVERY ONE' he now say's that he will sell it to me, So I guess it payed off to put a little heat under his toe's, so to speak again thank every one that helped me out -josh

[mr396]

Just hope he sends you the intake after you send him the money.I don't know if you can trust that he will.

[Charley Lillard]

Be sure and pay for it thru Paypal.....

[ZL1.FUN]

He wants me to send money order ? only

[CamarosRus]

you send a U.S. Postal Money order...and he doesnt deliver...the Postmaster and local attorney general's office goes after him......been there, done that...it worked FAST!!!!!!!!

[69LM1]

Yep, my vote to. In fact I would tell him why you are sending a postal money order. I just paid for a 6,000.00 car, all with postal money orders! They don't play.
Rich

[VintageMusclecar]

3rd vote for US Postal money orders here. (I won't touch PayPal with a 10 foot pole, heard WAY too many horror stories)

Eric

[SS454]

Make sure that he has ti sign for it so he can't say he never got it. With USPostal money order send with United States Postal Service.

[zeebad1]

I still have all the paperwork from 5 years ago, when I got taken after paying with a postal money order. Everybody kept passing the buck, and nobody did anything for me. I guess $150.00 wasn't considered worthwhile for the US Postal Service, or the Florida officials to pursue. I got letters stating that they sent the complainant a letter, but received no reply, so "at this time we can be of no further help to you." I was dumbfounded. This kind of turned me of towards the US Postal Service.

[ZL1.FUN]

I will let every one know how this soap opera has turned out when I get the intake - again thank to all that took the time to help me out with this situation

[ZL1.FUN]

this is getting stupid I had sent the money order the day after i posted my last update i had waited very paitnly the guy said he had to wait 10 days for bank to clear the money order is this true in the USA ? AND IF SO WHY its not a check it a money order well any way just got word from him tonight and he told me he is sending money order back his bank told him it was not in us fund ! i still have a copy of recite and yes indeed it is in us funds ! so what can i do now i feel my luck is getting less and less with this guy ? thank's josh http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
