Me too. That's why I advise being careful who you buy from on eBay, no matter what their feeback rating is. And people like this one, who think they can dump anything on ebay and claim ignorance when they sell something worthless to someone who knows the difference.
So, the latest on my dispute is that after weeks n weeks, PayPal/eBay have ruled in my favor (duh) and are trying to recover the funds from the seller, who obviously is trying to disappear. We'll see if they're actually able to pin him down. Stand by for news...
That seller is full of shit! How can he \"field\" questions about the bass, if he claims he doesn't know anything about them?? This was intentional. No close pictures of the frets, headstock, neck? They knew it was screwed up to begin with! Don't take this without a fight!
I sure hope you get a refund shredd.
I appreciate you sharing this bad luck...as I'm sure I have been growing too lax, and not nearly as careful as I was in the beginning.
I'm up to about 200 feedbacks, all positive, and I've been due for a reality check.
Still seeking RUSH-loving female. Human preferred.
I just noticed in your signiture line...you are expanding your search for a Rush-loving female.
With the high price of gas... I guess driving into town is getting expensive.
Take it from me...domestic species will give you away...stick with wild...migrating even better. :P

Yes, you're absolutely right. I really wanted this model bass, and was having a hard time finding one. (it was to be a gift for a friend :roll: )
There were just so many red flags - the fuzzy pics, lack of closeups of critical areas, yada. I really shoulda known better. :oops:
But, in ten years of ebaying, I guess I haveta get my fingers burned so I remember that the stove is hot. And, that ebay still lacks a \"no scumbag\" policy. So you gotta watch your buttski... :?

Yes, I'm trying to ease my high standards, since no one thinks I'll ever find a female who likes me. But I still prefer a human female. That, and I haven't found any livestock around here that likes RUSH.
Now, if I could find one at the website below that didn't think I was livestock, I'd be sittin' in butter! 8)
It appears that the happy-safe family-filters need a bit of work!
Oof. 'hoot has his tender little Aussie ears smoked by some good 'ol American sailor-speak... :oops:
Maybe that's why none of his hott little Aussie sheila mates will call me back. They probably think we're all Neanderthals over here... :?
AND THERE WAS MUCH REJOICING!!!
PayPal/eBay was able to recover my funds from the crooked seller...so despite having to fork out to ship the bass back, I got a refund. So, it basically cost me $70 to remind myself not to be an ebay idiot.
Coulda been worse, I guess... 8)
At least it worked out. I hope you gave him a negative rating so others wont be scammed without a warning. It's probably useless, but it might help someone else.
I did leave neg f/b, but the seller (who has a long ebay history and hundreds of f/b's) has set the f/b to \"private\", meaning you can see the numbers but not the actual comments. His positive percentage is still 97.2, which isn't much lower than mine (98.2). So chances are it won't warn off anyone...so, ebay remains a haven for scumbags who know how to work it. BUYERS, BEWARE and shop caefully!!! :?
Private feedback is already a red flag, afaic. Glad it worked out for you, though.
Agreed. Funny thing is, it wasn't when I bid. This seller was a flake all the way. I'd have withdrawn my bid claiming Satan told me to if I'd known what I was in for. :? The whole episode ended up costing me $70, which would pay for quite a few phone calls to Anne Hathaway. Who STILL isn't returning them. Heartless wench.

Hmmm, not really. Australians are quite the offensive language people as well.
I was expecting more from the filters in these forums that turn any nasty word into something involving purple elephants.

Congrats Bro! 8)
Even better good news... !!!
Anne's boyfriend is being investigated by N.Y. State Attorney General.
She is probably distancing herself...and not answering the phone, or returning any messages. I'd blame her Agent for you not hearing back from her.
Keep trying...

Didn't I say chix love guys with lots of money? You can look like John Goodman, but if you have a zillion bux, hotties will swarm on you like bees on honey.
And you can look like Brad Pitt, play git'r like Petrucci, and ski like Bode, but if you ain't got bux, you can't get a date with the fat chick at the airport security scanner. :shock: At least, that's what I heard... :oops:
Maybe her agent has me confused with some rich gwuat who dates hott starlets. Little does he know I'm nothing of the sort. I think she should be calling me...I'd give her a footrub that'd rock her world. Or something like that...
:twisted:
[unintelligible] !! ...... This is just a test! Had this been an actual swearing emergency, you would have been instructed to tune into some government am frequency to obtain information on how to properly sheild your eyes from the obvious harm that can be done , from viewing alphabet letters arranged in such a harmful way!

Brad Pitt was gettin plenty of tail way before he was rich....but now he's stuck with a wacko who wants to adopt half the third world....OH THE IRONY! :shock:

So. You've got a zillion bux, you're the hunkiest 40-something in America, and you're gettin' busy with a smokin' number any guy here would give his '72 Strat to jump on nightly. And he claims to adore kids anyway.
What's the downside again?!? :shock:
:evil: :evil: :evil:GRRRRRR!!!!! :evil: :evil: :evil:
Well...apparently it wasn't as \"over\" as I'd hoped. :evil:
This thread started with a dirtbag seller who sent me a trashed bass I'd bid on at ebay, after listing it in \"very good condition\". I filed a grievance, and after many weeks, when it was revealed that I'd been cheated, they directed the seller to take the bass back and return my bid amount. I DIDN'T get back the $40 I paid to have it shipped to me, or the $70 :shock: it cost me to ship it back. :evil:
So. On to the present:
I had a brick of drumsticks to sell, so I put them on eBay as a Dutch auction, $2 a pair.
This scumbag bid TWICE on a single pair of sticks...I cancelled the bids, and put them on my \"blocked bidders\" list.
So...today the listing ends, and one of the bidders - who won ONE pair of sticks - IMMEDIATELY went to my feedback file and left brutal, scathing feedback for me, accusing me of everything short of bestiality.
Besides the slam, it dropped my ebay rating from nearly 99% to just over 96%. :evil: http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=shredd&ssPageName=STRK:ME:UFS
Once I looked at where the feedback came from, it showed that it was a user ID that had just been created and never used for anything. This pond-scum created an ID for the sole purpose of entering a winning bid on a sale I held, so they could leave me nasty negative feedback. :evil: :evil:
Now, my initial reaction to all this is to ponder how people like this are allowed to walk the earth, while perfectly decent, wholesome, useful people are murdered for the $300 a creep can draw at an ATM with the debit card they pry off the corpse.
But instead, I'm going to appeal to all you east coast boys to go to KY - where this dreg lives - and put on a beating so bad they'll WISH they were dead. :evil: :evil: :evil:
You can have that BS removed Shredd.
Explain what you posted here to eBay, and they will restore your account, and most likely ban this a-hole.
They should give you a free relist as well.
Don't worry, this is not new to eBay.
Sorry you have had this rotten experience.
I hope things end with this jerk.

I'm with 'blooz. This guy deserves the worst. This is such a cheezy, sleezy, childish, gutless act, that I don't want to emulate it - I want to go to KY and drag his sorry butt behind a pickup until his eyeballs pop out. Or is that also childish???
That said...I've done what 'tou suggested, which is to write to ebay and tell them all about it; if they care a hoot about the integrity of their buying and selling communities, they'll clear this up, and hopefully suspend/ban this jerkoff.
Not that it won't keep him from creating a new ID, and continuing to do the same.... :evil: :evil: DEATH TO DIRTBAGS!!! :evil: :evil:
They will clear it up...as far as removing those last two BS feedbacks, and restoring your account to before this was done. Your case is very transparent. You won't have any trouble getting that BS removed. I'm guessing they will either suspend, or even ban this member.
If they ban him, I believe he would have to get a different computer, or IP in order to create a new membership. (I doubt this looser would go that far)
I use \"Live Chat\" to get more immediate response. That also affords you the opportunity to ask and answer more questions. Emailing just takes longer, which is still okay. With live chat, you are in \"real time\" with someone, and if necessary, they will transfer you to another department. I've used \"Live Chat\" maybe 6 times now, and the results have always been excellent, and rewarding.
Couple times I had someone hack into my account. The first one was from China, using my account to sell stuff, collect the money, then never ship. Another time, I was online checking out an item. I clicked on the sellers page, and my screen blinked. The page came up looking identical to eBay...but was a phisher. I went to the Chat, and my suspicions were right. I got that dealt with on the spot, and changed my password right away.

That is HORRIBLE. Can you imagine how much trouble it'd be to go all the way to China to find this guy and beat his lunch out of him?!?
But...all these examples go to show how far some people will go to make money without earning it. Turns my stomach. :evil:

So they could look and see if this negative feedback account was made by the same guy who tried to rip shredd off?
I don't mess with e-bay, so I don't know what can or can't be done there.
If it is proven that it is the same guy, could they make/ask him to cover shredds shipping cost too? Then if he doesn't ban him!
Sh!t! if all that happens is that he gets his property back and is banned and no crimminal charges ... whoopy doo! But if he has to cost him out of pocket for the shipping, then perhaps the urinal scum will think twice about lying and cheating someone ... on e-bay anyways.
Well...it's becoming more and more apparent that this seller is an emotionally troubled nine-year old, or some other sort of incredibly unbalanced nutbag who'll surely be shooting up a Lane Bryant or blowing himself up at the local Cinnabon. Check this out: :shock: :shock:
For those of you who don't/can't access, it says:
