I just had to run this up the flagpole.......

I've had a bit of down time lately and we all know that equals surfing the Internet and maybe spending way too much time on eBay! :break

Among the countless things I've ordered recently was a small automotive trim part that I really didn't need.....it was just that I bought a similar part for my wife's car and really liked the way it looked. When I came across one for my car, I did the ol' "Buy It Now" and waited for my part to arrive. :love

Well, it came yesterday.....and boy was I disappointed. That soon turned to mild anger and then I got pissed. What I got was nothing more than a strip of 3M chrome trim tape in place of what should have been an aluminum trim part.

So I sent an email the the seller......I had to tone it down twice before sending. I also contacted Pay Pal and contested the transaction.

So guess what this scammer does? He refunds my money in full, not less shipping as I anticipated, before I even had a chance to return it!

A scam artist with integrity? WTF? :stupid

It's a fact of Life:

After Monday and Tuesday, even the Calendar says : WTF .......

Easy for him to just fix the problem without issue...You are just one complaint of probably 20 that didn't ;)

No, don't have it. My mailman had just come by and I asked him if I could just do a "Return to Sender" or did I have to go to the post office. He said he'd return it no problem.
Then I got the email about the refund.

The tape was so stupid. I wouldn't have ever put it on the car, yet this bozo claims he sells hundreds to dealers!  :stupid

But I did use the refund to buy a neat sticker for the Toyhauler... :laugh  :D

I'm usually pretty hip to the scams...this was a fly buy purchase.....I didn't check feedback or anything.

I guess I needed a wake up call.

I've been pretty lucky on eBay. I should have an alloy wheel arriving today for my daughter's car. Saved $280 over what most on-line places wanted.  :D

Yep, all you have to do is let your guard down once and you'll get bit!. There are good honest deals on there though, just have to be careful, I got a real good deal on my laptop!.. :good
