Hey guys,
I have a quandry for you:
On March 19th I won a skimmer on eBay. I had emailed the seller before the auction closed, and he got back to me within minutes every time.
I paid for the item immediately. It was a Monday. I asked to be informed of the tracking info.
He wrote back on Thursday that he was sorry he had been busy, but would ship it out on Friday.
I email him about the Status Friday, Saturday and he gets back to me Sunday and says he didn't have the opportunity to mail it, but would do it Monday.
I try to contact him darn near every day the next week, and finally last Thursday I start to mention that I'm getting a little bit tired of even waiting for a response and that I'm going to file a claim with paypal, ebay and visa.
Well, that same day he sends me an email through ebay saying he shipped it and he'll get me my tracking # that evening.
Well, of course that was the last correspondance we had. I wrote him a few more times to no avail, and then yesterday morning I filed a claim with PayPal against him.
Of course, he hasn't responded to that yet either.
Well, incidentally, yesterday I also saw his email address in a for sale post on RC's equipment forum for a different item. So, I posted in the thread asking if he'd had chance to send my skimmer yet. Not divulging information, not being a d**k, nothing.
Of course, he ignored that too, and since threads get burried so fast there, he simply posted his item for sale again in a different thread.
So, this morning I asked about the skimmer again.
It's not that it's a lot of money ($56), it's just the principle of the thing. And he's a Jersey guy, too. So, I know if he actually shipped the damn thing through any avenue of shipping, it would have been here by now.
So, that's my story. Anyone have any advice?
Should I contact the selling/trading mods and tell them my story, see if they can pull some weight?
Should I post up the whole story in every thread he posts in?
Should I just drive to Bayonne and see if he's bigger than me?
Man. I've been buying/selling on the internet for years, and even had my id on ebay for 7 years with ZERO negative feedback and I've never even had to leave negative feedback.
And then this. What a bummer.
Edit:
Please watch your language.

For $56, it is not worth it. Instead, you can e-stalk him and e-piss him off. And be polite. Because you don't have his address. But he has your address.
