Michael Helgeson I think the biggest lesson to be learned here is just to CALM DOWN and do not ATTACK people who you would like some help / satisfaction from. It's maybe not easy but it is the best approach ! And from here things should go a lot more smoothly for you.
I think the biggest lesson you should learn is to read my prior post completely before making comments. When originally winning auctions from this f*ck of a seller I was getting rude replies,lies,excuses and bs about why the 3 items cant be shipped together before the seller finally admitted one of them wasn't in their hands,had to be shipped separately,and that it was ok to them to charge $10 in handling fees.
This was the crap I got from them when I was calm replying politely even though I was getting complete bullshit from this seller. My prior experience with them customer service wise was poor prior to them even shipping any packages,and it has not got any better.This all was prior to me now knowing it was their bumbling f*ck of a company that had my name and email left out there for public knowledge,which I did not like,due to their TZD purchase. They have as of yet proven they even insured the package. I gave them until yesterday,then had the dispute escalated to a claim.I have no doubt paypal will force a refund.
Before you begin to judge me you should check my feedback record :
http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=amakusashirosouthtownhaven&ftab=FeedbackAsBuyerAs a buyer I have 486 feedback received.As a seller 168. I have 8 members who left me a negative. 7 were shit sellers,1 was a whack job of a bidder who wouldn't make payment..
This means that in 486 purchases I have had only 7 sellers try to f*ck me over enough that I have had to complain.
If I was indeed the whiny bitch you accused me of being in the shout box,then I would not have survived as long as I have on ebay,as a buyer or a seller.
ID info
Note I have actually been a member since 2002. I merged my account with a newer one when I moved in 2005.
You can also note on here I have never mutually withdrawn a negative left.If I leave it for someone it is because they earned it. I don't compromise my values/ethics to keep my rating score a tad higher.
NEGATIVES I HAVE RECEIVED:
Seller sold me Fighting Street on TG16 cd. Seller lied about condition of game and case. Seller overcharged on shipping,had me pay to insure,did not buy insurance,and mailed in flat brown envelope. I got a refund back from paypal.
Seller sold me 2 Voodoo 2 cards. Seller stated in message to me cards were Black Magic versions. Auction also stated cards were 12 meg versions. Neither statement was true. Seller refused to refund,or offer discount. I gave seller chances to fix problem,they declined. After I left negatives they stated in mine I did not give them a chance to fix the problem. This was before I learned to use Paypal.
I won a graphics card for dirt cheap. Geforce FX 5200 with 128-bit ram. Seller refused to accept payment.Had to report seller to ebay.
Won anime laserdisc lots from seller for cheap. This was before I used paypal. Sent seller a money order,with delivery confirmation,and signature required. Seller did not accept payment. May have been due to winning the auctions for alot less then the items usually sold for. Payment got returned to me.
Provided proof to ebay I sent payment,then reported seller to ebay for not selling items. Gave seller option to get payment still,but this time they would have to cover expense of payment sent via same method,they declined obviously since they really didn't want the payment it seemed.
Seller sold me what was stated to be a great condition Pioneer CLD-301 laserdisc player stated as tested fully working.Item was packed well,and when arrived had no damage to packing. Upon opening package,player had major scratches all over,and chips on pioneer label on front panel,and minor dings and dents,and a major dent on the back side of the player. Upon trying to play a disc the player wouldn't open its tray more then 4 inchs about. Taking player apart revealed that it had been dropped once or more and had major impact causing the entire laser assembly to shatter apart of its rail.
Seller tried to claim Fed Ex did all this damage,and said it was my job to file a claim with them,which it was not. I filed a claim with paypal,but in this instance paypal wanted me to take the player to a Pioneer electronics service station and have them do a assessment and give me a estimate of the damage.Seller refused to file a claim with Fedex. The only place here willing to do so wanted $80.00 to do so. After shipping this item only cost me around $40-50,so needless to say I didn't bother,and closed the claim.
The seller then started sending me harassing emails stating I got a full refund,asking if I was happy,cussing me out,ect.. Needless to say I did not get a refund,and I left a detailed follow up to this sellers feedback.
Won a Pentium 3 Socket 370 board with P3 CPU,ect... Paid seller then waited till a tad after 20 days and item never arrived. I inquired about the item,the seller went off on me calling me names,said it would be a delayed shipping,said he was a 1 and a half man crew cause his boyfriend was sick from HIV meds or some crap,and that we should feel lucky this guy salvages parts to sell instead of them sitting at the dump...Needless to say Paypal refunded me on this purchase. Around the same time,this seller started getting other feedbacks from other buyers having the same issues. Too bad...
Seller sold me a listed as tested working Athlon Xp computer with a ECS K7S5A board with harddrive,ram,ect. When it arrived it was packed poorly with no packing materials. The power supply was not screwed onto the case,and was loose inside it. The motherboard had all major caps blown. The harddrive was pulled out prior to shipping. I gave the seller a chance to correct the issue by partially refunding me and letting me keep the item,or paying for shipping back and getting full refund. The seller went nutts on me. I filed a claim,forwarded all emails the seller sent,with pics of the item to paypal. I got a immediate refund.
Last but not least,my one completely crazy bidder who refused to pay for the item. This was also before I used paypal. Buyer didn't have paypal anyway,as I offered to let them pay my friend that way. He only insisted on sending a check. Refused flat out to buy a money order,as I don't accept personal checks.I stated this in the auction details too. They tend to bounce more often then not these days.
After 4 days of requesting the guy buy a USPS or Money Gram money order he started sending me messages stating I hated him because he was asian,that I don't sell to asians,and was only willing to sell to a white or black guy and that I would gladly take a check from either of the latter races...The guys name wasn't even asian.....
SO...,anyway,as I said,I don't make a habit of bitching or complaining, unless I have a good reason. My ebay buying and selling feedback confirms this,so don't call me a whiney bitch on a shout box until you check the facts... If you don't like reading my post,skip them. My experience lets me know when a seller like Redfrog has been bullshitting me right from the beginning. The seller ids may change,but they all tend to use the same stall tactics,lame excuses,lies,and manners in their replies. You cant sit there and tell me that you are perfectly fine with getting screwed on any deal,ebay or otherwise. If you are,then you have problems you need to get sorted out elsewhere.
