I had three bad ebay deals this year. Paid all three with Paypal and was able to get money back on 2 of the three. One deal was clearly fraud, collected money with no intent to ship the item (got my money back from paypal); second one was an NOS grille which ended up to be used, seller used all fake shipping and personal information (I ate that one) and the last one was an NOS steering coupler from a reputable dealer (took some work, but got the money back). All in all, I'm out about $350 for the year. I was going to leave negative feedback on the money loser deal, but figured that means I'll get one too.

I'm a little more careful now. I really don't like paypal, but it has allowed me some recourse on the bad deals.

Good ideas...But...I also like to use the "hot head" approch as a last straw....I tell them, "I have no problem buying a one way ticket to resolve this issue....Remember, I know where you live"...

Seriously though ......The world is full of jerks, we're just bound to run into one sooner or later...take em' in stride...

The best is usps signature confirmation which I send with higher dollar sales.. I recently bought a Chevy dealer decal which took almost a month to get and the seller stated it was sent first class usps mail. The seller had good feedback and I didn't think I was getting stiffed. I waited patiently and sent the seller an e-mail after about 2 weeks. He assured me he sent it and advised I wait patiently. Sure enough it came 2 weeks later. It all worked out and was a post office goof up. It was stamped as mailed exactly when the seller stated he shipped it also. So it does happen.... I left positive feedback as did he.

Marlin, I think you are "s.o.l." on your moldings if they have not been received since April.... THAT SUCKS.....

I agree with don't sweat about trivial matters which, in the long run, this will turn out to be.

Be thankful that you are a good fellow and not an [censored] like him.

HAND,

Mark

...I've gotten to the point where I only use Ebay if a part I can't find anywhere else pops up or it is being sold by someone I know or have dealt with before...

Here are a few of my dealings. 3 Assholes total after 3-4 years on ebay. ONe was recently, sold a MINT 82-92 Camaro black dashpad, shipped it to him, he recieved it, signature required and told him to refuse if package was damaged. 3 weeks later I hear from him that it was cracked. Sends me pictures and looks as if he dropped it, or damaged it trying to install. I told him i would glady refund his money if he shipped me my part back first. He refused. I offered a FULL refund. He takes it up with Pay Pal, I win the dispute, and now he is out of luck.

Either way I use UPS Ground with delivery confirmation, sometimes signed delivery confirmation, and they haven't damaged ONE SINGLE PACKAGE so far out of about 500 parts shipped out.

I just want to know how to spell [censored] without being [censored] censored. I get [censored] tired of being censored just for trying to express myself with a simple word such as [censored].
