File an eBay case?

[DarrenX33]

Bought a set of Rockets off eBay. They were described as:

"THESE ARE RARE AND IN GREAT CONDITION, NO CURB RASH, DENTS, OR GOUGES. THEY ARE REALLY NICE CONDITION FOR THE ERA. CAPS INCLUDED.
LOOK AT THE PICTURES, YOU BE THE JUDGE OF HOW NICE THEY ARE."

I get them and one wheel has a sizable piece of chrome/coating that has peeled off.




When I as seller about it he says:

"To answer your question is, the wheels as stated were used in nice condition for the
era with pictures. Chrome on or off never paid attention to that!"

I then tried to negotiate a refund or reimbursement and have heard nothing again since Wednesday.

The only thing that will work against you is time. I would file a case now. If you paid by pay-pal that much better.

I did pay with PayPal. Are you saying file with Them rather that eBay?

File the claim with PAYPAL not ebay. Ebay claim is a joke. PayPal will get your money back. File it with a "not as described" case.

X2. Ebay claims system is a joke. If you file a Paypal claim, they will freeze his account and he will not be able to withdraw the money.

Yes - definitely file with paypal - it works.

I think that the way the description reads, you're out of luck. Chrome was never described.

&quot;YOU BE THE JUDGE OF HOW NICE THEY ARE&quot;

I'm not saying it's right, but don't see that you have any way out of the purchase.

If you feel the item was misrepresented and you paid with a credit card through Paypal, return the item with delivery confirmation. Work with your credit card company to reverse the charges. That is the easiest way to go.

I get that but I really feel the ad was misleading. Of course I may be way off so any feedback I get here would be helpful. I also don't appreciate that I'm being ignored. I tried talking it out privately but no responses.

Darren, thats a real shame. Listen to Matt - he's an ebay hawk with great experience. If that fails you, I'd file a claim through your CC company.
