I recently have bought dvd's worth of 3 seasons of UK"s Coupling from the seller tnt.seller. After winning the auction, I paid through Paypal and asked the seller to e-mail me when she has shipped the DVD's. A couple days later I still haven't received any emails, so I e-mailed her aksing when my dvd's will be shipped. She then replied saying that she did not have the items in stock and it will 2-3 weeks for it to come and ship it out to me. What!!! She could be stringing me along for 3 weeks of waiting for the item to be shipped and another week for the item to be shipped to me. 4 weeks!!! Of course that convientlys comes close to the end of Paypal proctection plan of 30 days.

For now I decided to wait until the final days of the Paypal buyer protection service to end before I do anything else. But what pisses me of the most is that the seller is continuing to auctioning of the DVD's I purchased, knowing that she does not have it in stock. Of course I took the liberty of warning every potential buyer, beyond that I don't think theres much I can do. Any suggestions?

P.S. Thoroughly check out the seller's feedback. I though 500+ and 95%+ is good but this seller proved me wrong!

Oh yeah heres the link of the sellers other auctions if you wanted to see it.

Read through the feedback - looks like a higher percentage of negative feedback recently. That'd be enough to scare me off.

95% positive feedback, to me, is unacceptable. I try to avoid dealing with anyone with less than 98% positive feedback.

The easiest thing to do is to simply state "if I do not hear back from you within 30 days (PayPal's window), I will invoke PayPal's seller protection policy to get my money back."

It appears that the seller is figuring out that someone is tipping other buyers about his fraud and now has the buyer's i.d. private function on all of his auctions.



I also did get my dvd's after threatening him with Paypal and Ebay complaints, but he sent me used (item listed as new) and damaged dvd's and the seller refuses to give me an exchange or refund. This seller is messing with the wrong man and I have filed complaints with Paypal and Ebay. I hope this works out for the best....

 

[strohmie]

Good luck, and here's to hoping the person gets screwed.

The seller is below 90% for the month and people are still bidding on their items?

A fool and their money are soon parted.


Good Luck

If you read down the feedback, there many other seriously pissed off buyers...

I hope this person gets what he deserves.

Yep you better watch out for those kind of people who, even though have good feedback, are real jerkoffs. This one guy that I bought some sony mdr-e847sp's from shipped me a fake stock of them when he said they were "authentic." I guess it depends on your experience with the guy. With people that almost instantly shoot me an email when the auction is over, I usually have no prob dealing with them.

 

[MadDog5145]

The worst thing is that it's gonna take a month for Ebay or Paypal to anything. And now that the seller is wising up and keeping the bidders i.d. private, I can no longer warn other people. about this jerk.

 

[redshifter]

sorry about your problems, maddog. that sucks.

i feel i should warn you all about this guy as well. i should note i have never bought nothing from him either.

 

[strohmie]

While we're on eBay rants, if anyone sells an item and gets a bid from joaline, cancel the bid. Just take a look at my recent feedback to see why.

 

[braillediver]

At least the guy selling "nothing" is being honest.


How about the Grado RS-1's for $8.00? The guys selling information- they're from belguim usually. They'll post 1500 auctions of all kinds of stuff with buy it now for $8.

What's amazing is people continue to buy it? Do they just figure "Hey it's only $8 what do I have to loes?"

seems like he has ample amounts of nothing to sell. the offer doesn't sound that bad, for what it's worth (nothing, of course). sadly the auction was already closed, so i couldn't buy nothing...

That double negative is the story of my life in audio. Sometimes I wish I could buy nothing...

What?? How can people bid on nothing? Thats just messed up.
