GOT A PROBLEM WITH AN EBAY SELLER

[BO$$]

I'M NOT SURE IF HE POSTS HERE, BUT I HAVE SEEN HIS NAME MENTIONED. I'M NOT GOING TO GET INTO NAMES AT THE MOMENT, BUT RATHER DETAILS OF THE SITUATION. I WON HIS AUCTION FOR 58 CD'S, BUT INCLUDED WAS SUPPOSED TO BE OVER 100 CD COPIES WITH INSERTS AS A BONUS. I FELT LIKE MAN THIS IS A GREAT COLLECTION N I KNOW HE LIVES N THE WEST COAST, SO I'M GOING TO HIT HIM UP TO SEE IF HE EVEN LIVES CLOSE ENOUGH NEAR BY TO DO A LOCAL PICKUP. HE TELLS ME WHERE HE LIVES N IT WOULD BE SOME WHERE I WOULD BE WILLING TO GO IF MY NICER RIDE WASN'T LOOKING LIKE IT NEEDED WORK, BUT HE SAID IT WOULD BE "EASIER" FOR HIM TO GO THROUGH THE TROUBLE OF SHIPPING/HANDLING (SOUNDED SUSPICIOUS TO ME, BUT I WASN'T SWEATING IT). I PAID FOR THE LOT N RECEIVED DA PACKAGE IN A DECENT AMOUNT OF TIME.

AFTER I OPENED THE PACKAGE, I BECAME DISAPPOINTED WHEN I NOTICED A FEW WEREN'T AS DESCRIBED (PUNCH HOLES, SAW CUTS, NO COVERS N 1 I WASN'T SURE IF IT WAS A LEGIT COPY, SINCE I NEVER SEEN 1 LIKE IT), BUT MAINLY THAT I DIDN'T SEE ANY OF THE BONUS CD'S IN THERE. I HIT HIM UP ABOUT THAT N HE SAID HE JUST WANTED TO TAKE CARE OF THE MAIN PART OF THE AUCTION 1ST N THEN HE WOULD BE SENDING THE REST BY A CERTAIN DATE. I START WONDERING IF HE ADDED TRACKING TO THE PACKAGE AGAIN N HIT HIM UP N EVENTUALLY AGAIN TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON, BUT I ONLY FOUND OUT THE ANSWER BY THE TIME I GOT ANOTHER PACKAGE. LOOKS LIKE IT TOOK A LOT LONGER THAN HE SAID IT WOULD, BUT THERE WAS THE PACKAGE. I OPENED THE PACKAGE N ENDED UP FIGURING OUT THERE WAS ONLY 44 OF THE 100+ CD'S THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO BE SENT, SO YOU COULD GUESS I HIT HIM UP ONCE AGAIN. HE DOESN'T RESPOND AROUND THE TIME FRAME I GAVE HIM, SO I OPENED A CASE WITH EBAY N THEN THAT'S WHEN I FINALLY START GETTING RESPONSES FROM HIM.

HE CLAIMS HE WANTS ALL HIS CUSTOMERS TO BE SATISFIED, BUT ALL HE SAID IS THAT HE'S ONLY WILLING TO HAVE ME SEND EVERYTHING BACK FOR A REFUND OR THAT I WILL HAVE TO DROP THE CASE. EVEN AFTER ALL THIS GOING BACK N FORTH, HE STILL COULDN'T JUST ANSWER WHY HE COULDN'T JUST SEND EVERYTHING TO ME IN THE 1ST PLACE. HIS LAST MESSAGE WAS SENT TODAY WHICH IS TUESDAY N HE SAYS HE WILL WAIT UNTIL TUESDAY TO ESCALATE THE CASE HIMSELF IF I HAVEN'T MADE A "DECISION". I THOUGHT THIS GUY KEPT IT 100%, BUT I FOUND OUT IN PAST YEARS HE HAS GOTTEN SOME - FEEDBACK N 1 EBAYER CLAIMED THE GUY EVEN HAD ANOTHER ACCOUNT. I WANTED TO LET YA KNOW ABOUT ALL THIS N SEE SOME OF YOUR THOUGHTS ON IT. I REALLY LIKE THE COLLECTION N I WANT TO KEEP IT, BUT I THINK A DEAL IS A DEAL N I DON'T THINK I SHOULD JUST BE A HAPPY CUSTOMER FROM HIS POINT OF VIEW.

If the seller offers you to return the item for a full refund then you pretty much have no choice. You opened a case and he is offering to give you a refund upon return of merchandise... My advice is to return the collection, Ebay tends to protect the seller more than the buyer especially if the seller is offering a refund upon return of merchandise (sounds like you will lose the case if he escalates it) It sucks dealing with liars but most likely when something sounds "to good to be true" it usually is... You really need to pay attention to seller feedback (I personally dont buy from anyone with a less than 95% rating) and even then I read the details of the negative feedback a see if the seller responds in a acceptable fashion. I would leave the seller neutral feedback and just chalk it up as a learning experience and move on... At least your getting a refund... Start downloading the collection or go get a couple 100 packs of blank cd's and start burning.

YEAH IT'S JUST THAT HIS SAYS 100% N SO I DIDN'T BOTHER LOOKING AT FEEDBACK FROM PREVIOUS YEARS. ANYBODY HEARD OF A CD-R VERSION OF FLY MAR'S A SAVAGE & A GENTLEMEN? I KNOW THERE'S NOT MUCH I CAN DO N I DO WANT IT, BUT TO BAD HE WON'T WORK WITH ME. I KNOW EBAY'S PROBABLY NOT GOING TO FORCE HIM TO GIVE ME A PARTIAL REFUND. I WONDER IF THE FLY MAR IS A BOOTLEG THOUGH N I'M SURPRISED EBAY DIDN'T TAKE DOWN THIS LISTING. COULD IT BE BECAUSE ONLY THE BONUS CD'S ARE SUPPOSED TO BE THE ONLY BOOTLEGS?

it was never re-released or even CDR pressed for that matter. are you referring to jpscrilla's rap lot a few weeks back? for the price you won it for i think it was worth it (the 58 originals look like you got some classics there). the 100 cdrs were just icing. if i can recall, jpscrilla is pitbull vicious 408 here on the siccness. he's cool folks. i'm pretty sure you both can amicably work it out.

btw, is this Rub?

OH HE SAID HE BOUGHT A BUNCH OF THOSE AS CD-R'S N FIGURED THEY WERE LEGIT RE-RELEASES OR SOMETHING. I THINK IT WAS KOO, BUT SOMETHINGS CAME OUT SHADY WITH THAT N ESPECIALLY IF THAT FLY MAR'S A BOOTLEG. DIDN'T THINK HE WOULD BE FROM THE 408 CUZZ HE SAID HE WAS FROM SALAS, BUT LOOKS LIKE HE DOES LIVE THERE. PLUS THAT WOULD BE ANOTHER ACCOUNT IF IT'S pitbull_vicious, CUZZ HE HAS 1 UNDER pitbull_vicious408. YUP IT'S RUBE, I JOINED THE SITE. ;-]

 

[BO$$]

WAS GOING TO TELL YOU GUYS TO FLAG THE AUCTION, BUT IT'S ALREADY BEEN TAKEN DOWN. HIS NAME'S ALREADY BEEN STATED ON HERE N IF YOU NEED MORE INFO ON THE GUY LET ME KNOW. GLAD TO SEE SOMEONE ELSE LEFT HIM A - N NOW I'M GOING TO SEE IF WE CAN WORK SOMETHING OUT AGAIN, CUZZ HE CLAIMS HE DOES PARTIAL REFUNDS. YET THIS GUY DOESN'T DO REFUNDS FOR BONUS CD'S N THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS IS EVEN ABOUT ANY MORE, CUZZ I SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT UP HOW SOME WEREN'T AS DESCRIBED N THEN I FOUND OUT 1 WAS A BOOTLEG.

THAT FLY MAR CD IS WHAT I WANTED THE MOST OUT OF THE WHOLE AUCTION TO N I TOLD HIM IF I DON'T DESERVE THE PARTIAL REFUND FOR THE BONUS CD'S, THEN I DESERVE 1 FOR THE OTHER CRAP N HIS LAST MESSAGE HE IS ACTING LIKE THIS IS ABOUT SOME CD'S I SUPPOSEDLY DIDN'T PAY FOR! HE HAS IGNORED MANY OF MY QUESTIONS/STATEMENTS. I THINK HE ENDED UP BEING BITTER ABOUT COMING THOUGH WITH THIS DEAL N I EVEN TOLD HIM THAT, BUT OF COURSE HE DIDN'T HAVE A RESPONSE TOWARDS THAT. ONCE AGAIN HE IS JPSCRILLA ON THERE N HE MAY HAVE ANOTHER NAME, BUT I DON'T BELIEVE IT WAS THE NAME BROUGHT UP BY MARV. THANKS

ya my bad, they're 2 different cats. hope things work out

 

[BO$$]

HE OFFERED A REFUND NOT AS BIG AS I WOULD LIKE, BUT I SAID I WOULD TAKE IT N THEN HE THREW THAT CHIT AT ME WHERE HE CLAIMS HIS FUNDS ARE TIED UP N I WOULD HAVE TO GET THE CASE DROPPED. I HAVE ALREADY BEEN THROUGH THAT BEFORE, BUT I CALLED EBAY ANY WAY N THEY TOLD ME TO NOT LET HIM TALK ME INTO ALL THAT, CUZZ HE SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEND ME IT NO MATTER WHAT. YOU CAN TELL THIS KAT'S ALL MAD. LOL ALL OF A SUDDEN SJ IS NOT FAR N WE COULD OF HANDLED THIS OUTSIDE OF EBAY, BUT IT WASN'T LOOKING LIKE THAT WHEN I WANTED TO PICK UP THE CD'S OR BEFORE THE CASE WAS OPEN.

I fucking hate that shit. I usually have the opposite problem though where I will sell some shit and then some fucker never pays me. Its not like a lose anything but its hella weak to feel like you are gunna finally have some money and then you don't end up getting it.
