AM/FM ebay ripoff and I lost out!
This was the deal.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...3AIT&viewitem= Ebay and paypal are just like the casino's, they just never lose. Well I bought it with the BIN what was pictured as a decent factory AM/FM from a 1970 Blazer. Guy even described that it worked and he had removed from his Blazer to install a CD deck. Buy it Now was $180 + $17 shipping for a lightly pitted but working radio. My wife thought it would be something she could buy for our nice 71 Cheyenne survivor C10 so we bought it Dec 3rd and paid with Paypal via our credit card. A week later I get a box with a rusty beat up black knob AM 67-72 radio from the guy. After 5 contacts and even two phone messages to him he replies back that oh he was just selling it for a friend and he'll get a hold of him to make it right or send the right radio. Never heard from him again even though the radio box came right from this sellers house in Pennsylvania. Even found out it must be a kid living at his parents house by the phone number given to me from Ebay. Filed the complaint which eBay made me file with Paypal and of course they could not resolve and awarded me judgement by default. But guess what, no money because they can no longer sieze any funds from his accounts. So let this be a lesson NOT to ever use your bank funds to pay for paypal even though they try their hardest to discourage using other fund payment. I still used my credit card on Paypal so maybe I still can dispute the credit card payment to Paypal.

Re: AM/FM ebay ripoff and I lost out!
Mark, sorry to hear about your misfortune. Hopefully you can resolve it or atleast get your money back. I have always used my credit card for pay pal and have often thought about changing to my account but always been kind a leary. The main reason is because I can only do $500 via credit card, after hearing your situation I am glad I havn't changed it.
Ray

Re: AM/FM ebay ripoff and I lost out!
Is his first name Greg?
Call his local police station. Many stations have someone that specializes in internet fraud. One call from a police officer is probably all it would take for the loser to send you your money back.

Re: AM/FM ebay ripoff and I lost out!
Ray, I have always thought that too about using the card for payment but even my GM Mastercard took seven emails and finally a fax of 7 pages to get the ball rolling with them. Still wonder how long that might be and how well they get along with stopping payment from Paypal. Mark

Re: AM/FM ebay ripoff and I lost out!
If you can get to the list number be sure to read my feedback on his account. I expect eBay will squash it soon.

Re: AM/FM ebay ripoff and I lost out!
On the item page there is a big logo on Buyer Protection with Paypal.
The funny thing is that it makes it sound like Paypal will cover you regardless of the financial situation of the seller.

Re: AM/FM ebay ripoff and I lost out!
Sorry to hear about your trouble Mark, I can't stand a thief, what he did was worse than someone not even sending an item. I have added him to my favorite sellers list with a note about how crooked he is. I use the favorite sellers to keep track of the bad guys as well as a good.

Re: AM/FM ebay ripoff and I lost out!
I too suggest calling the police. This is fraud, plain and simple. I'm not exactly sure how it works, but this could be mail fraud, too. What's his username? The link says item no longer avail to be viewed. Hope all works well with your situation.

His EBAY user ID is "gstine89".
Like Scott said for some reason EBAY links aren't working from here. Jeff

Re: AM/FM ebay ripoff and I lost out!
I would dispute it with your credit card company and they will most likely refund the charges back to your account and just write it off as a loss.

Re: AM/FM ebay ripoff and I lost out!
I think it`s downright criminal that Ebay claims you are protected to give buyers confidence when there is actually no protection to buyers.Now,they only allow PayPal(cuts me out) and go further to claim it`s to offer even better buyer protection.
Ebay/PayPal does exactly what this crooked seller does...lie to get your money with no concern that you aren`t getting what is paid for.

Re: AM/FM ebay ripoff and I lost out!
Another problem that Paypal and eBay posed was they required a 10 day wait from the time the payment was posted for a buyer to file a dispute. Go figure we give the guy another 8 days from the time I got the AM radio to screw someone else. I went to Paypal to get their ruling and then went to my credit card and filed the claim using this info from Paypal. In Ebay rules and Paypal they immediately stop the investigation if you file with your credit card so I let them go and give me their answer that I am screwed. Thats all I needed to proceed.
I already lost the phone number but his email is chevyanytimebaby@hotmail.com and his name is Garrett Stine from Chambersburg, PA if anyone ever runs across this kid.
