Can you Believe this guy? The Strangest Ebay Experience I ever had in my life - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TVFactFan · 10-16-2007, 09:49 PM

I won this magazine and kind of forgot to pay for it because so many things happen in the past 2 weeks. So a unpaid item claim was open on me and I said-"OH **** i forgot to pay and did that today and after paying for the item and asking the seller when it would be mailed, this is the response I got

"WE ARE OUT OF TOWN AND WILL MAIL YOUR ITEM wHEN WE RETURN.

So i said F*ck the item and I demanded a refund and will dispute through paypal tomorrow. I don't even want the item anymore. I can't believe that someone would send such a rertarded a$$ email after I made a payment

Well, they are going out of town, is it their fault you forgot?

Hollow · 10-16-2007, 10:00 PM

what are they supposed to do? it was up to you to pay on time....not their fault you didn't remember until they were temporarily unable to ship the item.

Exactly. They can be out of town til January for all they care. They obviously put the item up for auction and when you bid on an item that is auctioned, you have the responsibility to pay up ASAP and abide by the seller and how they go abt getting you your item.

And just because you didn't like the tone of the email gives you no contractual right to bow out of the deal. It is no one's fault you have a bad memory. If that is the case, and you have too much on your mind, don't bo bidding on items on ebay.

So it's ok for a seller to say-"I DON"TKNOW" to a buyer after asking when the item would be mailed?

Read between the lines Solomon. I believe they are ALREADY ON VACATION...they may have access to a computer or have a laptop, therefore, they don't know offhand when they can mail that out to you.

It says above "WE ARE OUT OF TOWN..."

This sounds like one of those automated responses people use when they go on vacation.

Unless they've changed their rules, Paypal won't do anything until 30 days have passed and even then they won't take any kind of action based on what you've mentioned here. Paypal will only intervene if you don't receive the magazine and it's up to the seller to prove you got it by providing a tracking #.

If you have a confirmed address and the seller can prove it was shipped there then you might as well forget it. If the seller hasn't left you a negative comment then I suggest that you just be patient and let him ship the magazine when he returns. He waited on you to make payment so extend him the same courtesy.

Well, it seems they are wanting to continue doing business with you even though you didn't extend them the courtesy of remembering to pay for your item on time. Sorry Solomon, you are completely in the wrong here.

And with nothing directly personal to you, I don't really do business with buyers who act as you did. When you buy something, you're expected to render payment as soon as possible. If paying via Paypal/Credit Card, that pretty much means as soon as you're online after winning the auction, if by Check (which I wholeheartedly recommend to everyone you NEVER pay by) or Money Order (Better than Check, but still not great) as soon as the thing gets there.

I wouldn't have even waited as long as the seller in your instance did - and considering you made *him* wait because you "kind of forgot to pay for it", I think waiting because he's out of town is perfectly justifiable.
