New X-Mag going on ebay guys for a pretty decent price

[Vendetta]

He says he doesn't know what happened. Let's see how long it takes to get a refund.

This was my first and last purchase on E-bay. I'm not buying anything unless I have my hands on it first!

I'm way p.o.'d about this, but keep in mind that it wasn't Ebays fault, it was this bonehead you were dealing with.

My rules of Ebay are thus:
1. don't spend any more than you can afford to lose
2. don't deal with anyone that doesn't accept PayPal or credit cards or other traceable payment(that just says to me they don't want the paper trail - very shady)
3. on big ticket stuff either use a reputable escrow service or make sure the seller is within driving distance


And please don't forget to report these guys to Ebay, the Internet Fraud Complaint Center and the Postal Inspector - a few negative feedback points aren't going to throw up a flag for them and this guy/guys are just going to keep ripping people off.

Look at all the other auctions this Jackhole has going on now......Ir3's, Timmys, is there anything the AOer can do??

What a dirtbag

I'd contact the Sacramento FBI office or the U.S. Postal Inspector's office, if you can get them. Should be able to get him on a mail fraud violation. Those offices may have reports of this guy already. Sorry about the bad experience. I buy and sell on Ebay and have had nothing but good experiences so far. You just have to operate on the assumption that if it looks too good to be true, it probably is.

Cross your fingers. The refund is suppose to be on its way.

What's utterly infuriating is that it was not "too good to be true". Vendetta paid a fair price for that marker.

This is really intolerable.

true, true

Vendetta paid a fair price for that marker.

Yeah, I was speaking more in general terms. Say, like an A4 listed at $450 or a timmy for that price. Still, in my opinion, paying < $1,300 with no wait is too good to be true, given how rare they are. Wish I had that kinda coin to plink down.

Did you get your money back?

[Vendetta]

NO. I've filed fraud charges on these guys. Lets see if the cops will do anything about this.

The ebay name is sunrisepaintball.
They wanted the check made out to
Sunrise Sports
4626 Watt Ave
North Highlands, CA 95660

There is a paintball store at this location with another name. When I called them, they said they had nothing to do with Sunrise Sports, or e-bay.

One of the guys email is [email protected]

The other person I got an e-mail from is [email protected]

I don't know how many of people are using this e-bay.

Any update?

[Vendetta]

The guy now says that he sent me a refund. What a joke. I'm wainting to hear back from the authorities.
