Let us know how you make out.

I am going thru a mess with ebay right now for the auction I won here.

The guy sent me a console that arrived busted up because he put it in a freakin' box without any packaging. I paid the $3 insurance but the only thing that apparently did was put an extra $3 in his pocket. Then, he goes out and leaves me negative feedback and even stumped so low as to say I was threatening him at his home! Amazing. What can you do? Well, I make a little website about the entire transaction and put the url in his feedback (here) so everyone can read our emails back and forth and look at pictures of the transaction, etc. I also filed a complaint to SafeHarbor but in all reality, Ebay won't do a damn thing about it. I had another instance where I won tires and afterwards, the guy contacted me and said he wasn't going to give them to me because he wanted more money. Ebay told me they took care of it but when I asked them what, they refused to say and then I see that not only is the guys account still active but he's reselling the tires that I won!!!! They did nothing and won't do anything.

The best way to do a purchase is to go thru PayPal and to pay thru your credit card. At least if something goes wrong, you can dispute it with your credit card company. They WILL try to do something.

Let us know how you you make out, I'm interested in hearing about your results....
