GamesofJapan/US Gaming attempted to rip me off. (NOT Game of Japan / Hit Japan)

[Tatsujin]

So this guy is located in the US? Is it so hard to track down his adress?
He sure had to be tarred and feathered for this scam.

I hate giving advice because I know some scammer is reading my words.

Usually ebay wants you to talk it out with the seller, first.

Go through ebay, customer support. Item not sent. You could even call ebay, of course ebay customer support sucks balls, so call paypal, tell them what happend, they will send you to the Secret Service AKA claims department. Explain, and they will send you to ebay, with all your notes, recorded. Ebay will then talk with you, and then if all goes well they will send you to another person, who should be able to issue you a refund.

However ebay strongly advise you to talk it out with the seller.
I could say "The seller never sent me item. They literally sent a pile of rocks" I am requesting a full refund. I see the hard part about that.

Again in my case I went into the internet webpage, instead of calling.
By going though the internet webpage, you are carrying out the standard recover process, of negotiating.

In this case it was. Item was never sent. Not Item as not described.
I hate the website process, but getting a response from the seller, in which they will refund you is better then not getting a response. However you have to make the call.

It is your problem, so you have to make the call. Go through ebay or
call paypal, and then they transfer you to ebay. Keep in mind I went through the standard wait three days, for seller to respond with ebay.

The flat fact is the heat is going to be on the seller, to pay back the funds, and case will be closed. I hope everything goes well.

I am sorry, I am so sorry, that you had to get rocks in the mail.

wow thats f*cked glad you got your money back. WOuld of been funny if he sent you a non working xbox or something lol

[Keith Courage]

I wonder if the return address was his or if it was just some random address that he just used. If it was his I'd mail him back an envelope containing a piece of paper with a giant middle finger drawn on it.

or anthrax or herpes in powder form

Under law mailing back any powder, to scare people is a form of threat and the MIB will surely come through your door. With magazines, a special powder is used to keep the pages from sticking together, but I do not know if they still use it. Once again scaring people ( as the woman did to her ex ) is illegal.

Send a package containing a few rocks via UPS or FedEx (always expensive but they always charge an arm and a leg on custom to receiving party) and mark it as valuable collectible stuff declared at $1,000.

The person would have to eat taxes on it only to find... collectible rocks.

[RegalSin]

You shouldn't send anything back. That was just rude, and would be a waste of time.

One time I brought a bootlegged VHS tape, ( It was a Hentai ) from a seller in the local mall. All of their Videos looks high grade but are really, cop-offs. They sell mostly martial art stuff. So I came home with the tape ready to watch Mido and her horny sister, take on the skima,
world. When suddenly a fly came out. I scream, and push the damn thing back, but guess what? they fly kept on flying into me, it was looking for a fight, so I boxed that thing, and it kept on landing on me, or ramming into me. I even knocked it down a couple of times, but the thing would not die. I trapped it, somewhere it was still after me. Then I think I manage to get it outside, but the damn thing came back in, another entrance. That would be hell funny, to drop
an angry fly, in a box. I do not know what type of fly it was, maybe a horsefly. That thing would not die.

I keep thinking about it. To catch roaches, all I have to do is leave a box open. Then I wrap it with wrapping paper and mail it off.  Ode to joy that would bring, if somebody would open that box. Trap 200 roaches in a box, and they will be screaming, and fling that thing across the room. Once again cruel jokes might be against the law.

Maybe a blow up woman, that blows up, and it has some official Spencer itch powder in the crotch area, in case the person decide to use it. Make sure they can't see the itch powder inside the crotch.

Ahhh man, what a terrible person I would be. Next thing you know the MIB would be back, and say "RegalSin, why are we back here again"

paint dicks all over the rocks.

Or just buy a giant rubber dick and tie two heavy ass rocks to it to form the sack.


So they can pay tons of customs fees for a giant rubberdick and balls.

JUSTICE IS SERVED.

Well, look at it this way.  I got my money back, which was the ultimate goal once I found the rocks.  What I don't understand is why he didn't respond back to PayPal during the dispute (not that i wanted him to).  they must have sent him 20+ emails asking him for his side of the story and he never responded.  He spent some money to mail rocks to me, and in the end he is the one who lost out.  Not only money, but time.  Standing in line at the post office is never fun.

MY SPECULATION:

(1) It doesn't make sense for someone to send rocks, UNLESS...
(2) A second (or third) party is scamming the seller and you (the buyer).

SO...

(1) Seller, to second party (say, an employee or scamming acquaintance), "Do me a favor pack this item for me."
(2) Second party, "Sure, I can do that."
(3) Second party wants to keep item (SuperGrafx?) for him/her-self. Or, wants to sabotage seller.
(4) Put rocks to simulate weight of say...SuperGrafx.
(5) Seller "sees" and "feels" a legitimate item to be shipped?
(6)

I KNOW THIS SPECULATION STILL FAILS TO EXPLAIN how utterly retarded the real-life events are.
