So I purchase a $1,300+ 10k gold necklace. 4 days later I receive a gold plated chain of a different style & shorter length. I immediately open a return & it takes the seller days to respond. He goes belligerent, claiming they do not even sale the type of chain I pictured. When a simple search of his current inventory shows several chains just like it. He asks for a picture of his hand signed invoice which low & behold shows the chain @ 36 inches(I ordered 38) & his own handwriting showing his error as he wrote "38" under the typed "36".

That's not enough for him he goes into a diatribe referring to the after world where thieves can't exist & I am taking food from his infant seed etc.

After the rant he accepts my return request as I guess all the pics either made him accept his error or his disillusion allowed him to realize he could not win an escalated case.

I ponder, does he really believe I switched items ? Was that just a temper tantrum to shield his ego from the fact he made a mistake ? Did he intentionally send me costume jewelry in hopes that my newish account would't be able to navigate the return waters ? His diatribe makes me think he deeply felt he was wronged, despite all the clearly presented facts that say otherwise.

I wonder if these people go through life w/ the same mind state that they convey on E-Bay ?

Ok I've vented but meanwhile I have over $1,000 in limbo & guy in NYC pleading to his deity to banish me from paradise lol.
 
You spent $1300 on Ebay to buy a necklace?

<{hughesimpress}>
 
I think the lesson we're learning in the Mayberry today is

STAY. THE FUCK. OFF. EBAY!

Yes it's a hard to find style & sadly E-bay's one of the few places you can find them, well after my experience maybe not lol.

I make big purchases from this platform often, cars, gold etc. & never had a bad experience until now lol.
 
Irony is I'm due to go to NYC next month maybe I drop in on this guy & purchase the chain person(he has a showroom). Then tell him who I am and leave bellowing sinister laughter resonating in his store lol.
 
I've never had a problem on eBay. I buy all kinds of shit on eBay.
Buying on Ebay isn't the problem. You have to worry about someone scamming you though as a seller. I only stick to selling video games on there and I'm covered by $50 insurance through Priority Mail on most of them.

Yeah in my selling days I had people buy things then file a "item not as described" claim & send me back dirty diapers & win the case lol !

Oh I've never sold anything. I don't have anything anyone would want.
 
Paypal also has some new policy where they can withhold your funds for up to 21 days if you're a new seller (I went years without using my old Ebay account and they deleted it without my consent) even after the item has been delivered and the buyer has left you positive feedback. :/

Edit: Oops, I meant to post this in the other thread. I guess it's relevant here too though.
 
What was his seller rating?

He is a power seller w/ 99.3 % Positive & thousands of items in inventory. A deep search into his feedback shows he randomly does this but it's not all that easy to spot due his volume of transactions. When I go to NYC I am most definitely dropping in on his ass lol.

I'd buy off that rating.
Heres to more blingdom in your kingdom.

Yea I do my due diligence before I transact, it appears this guy is a selective scammer. Does it about once every 3 monthes which doesn't look out of place due to his sheer volume of sales.
