Help on dealing with a bad seller...

[Kermit the frog]

Early december i won and paied up a FF n°48 CGC 7.0 from a seller. I discovered later one (by his feedback account) later on, that 2 weeks after the end of the original auction, the seller puted up on sale again and sold it to another person.

 

Early january, upon a comic that never arrived, i check his feedback and discovered that my comic was sold to another person. I confronted him the situationa nd he ended up admiting what happened, by justifying my late payement (the seller was informed that i was in my country during hollidays and i would pay up a little late,and he was ok with it).

 

He said in mid january that he was going to refund me...he sent me almost 2 weeks ago a code from a (possible) refund sent by western union. until now i've received anything...

 

i'm seriouslly thinking that i'll never received anything from him, and i'm thinking using ebay actions to recover a part of my money.

 

What should i do?! Do i Open an Item Not Received or Significantly Not as Described dispute?!

 

thanks for the advices and all the possible help,

 

regards, Pedro.

Pedro,

Who is the eBay seller? How did you pay for this auction?

From eBay

"It's rare for a transaction to go wrong on eBay, but sometimes problems can occur. If you've got a problem with a transaction the Item Not Received or Significantly Not as Described Process can help you resolve it.

 

 

Use this process when:

You paid for an item but didn't receive it, or

You paid for and received an item, but it was significantly different from the item description.

 

 

 

 

The most effective way to resolve transaction problems is direct and open communication between buyers and sellers. Once you initiate this process you will be able to communicate directly with your seller on the eBay Web site in order to resolve your problem.

 

 

Before you initiate this process, please make sure you have:

Reviewed the item listing carefully.

Emailed and called your seller.

Ensured eBay has your correct contact information.

Checked your spam filter for missed emails.

 

 

 

 

Learn more about the steps you should take before initiating this process.

 

 

You can begin this process at any time between 10 days and 60 days after the listing ended. Please enter the item number below and click Continue to get started."

i've noticed i can't use the "non received item" action, since it passed more than 60 days after the end of the auction...

 

i already sent an email to ebay...i have the feeling i don't have much to hang on...the refund mirage is getting lesser than a vague mirage...

 

and to think this was going to be the first CGC comic in my coll.!!!

[MarvelComicBuyer-migration]

I don't know if it works the same in the US, but in the UK I charge all my eBay purchases to a credit card via PayPal. That way, if I get stiffed I am covered by my credit card's online fraud protection. PayPal throw a hissy fit for initiating a chargeback, but they don't provide cover for all transactions, and eBay take 15 GBP for administration fees if you go through them.

 

Of course, this doesn't help you with this guy. Could you put pressure on him to send you a refund by mentioning legal action?

[Kermit the frog]

I drop by just to let you know (all the persons who posted/helped me) on this situation, that all ended well.

 

This morning i went to the post office and finally picked up the long awaited refund.

 

well, it seems i wtill don't have any CGC comics in my coll. afterall, .

 

regards and thanks again fellas, Pedro.

All ended well but I think you should still tell him (once the egghead leaves you feedback) to kiss your royal !

, i've told him that if he was honesta nd up front from day one he would have saved a lot of time/energy and some headaches...that he should look on the dictionary the defninitions of the words honor and responsability.

 

that's all i've said...

 

Aces, it seems not everything wroked out well for your side...hope you've recovered well from lesser sweet past experiences. hang on...

 

thanks fellas, regards, Pedro.
