Have you ever been cheated on eBay?
I've only been cheated once, IIRC, but it was on such a damn good item. =(
I paid $60 for the SNES version of Chrono Trigger back in 2006, and I never got it. The guy had largely good ratings, too, so being cheated is the last thing I would've expected.

selling, lets just say that paypal can suck a big fat donkey ****! only a few times and they werent for a large amount, but still, you provide tracking info, it shows that it was delivered, and they STILL screw you. paypal is awesome!
So I contacted the seller (turned out to be a 15 year old kid who agreed to take it back. So I shipped it back and then they refused delivery. So I called the seller back again and talked to the dad (who was A cock with ears), and he said that it was my problem Now. Turned them into Ebay and they might have got suspended or something lame like that.
The Second time was when i bought like 25 games from this guy and never got them. The guy did find the tracking number and it said it was delivered So either Somebody stole off my door step or they delivered to the wrong address and those people kept it.
soooooo the seller paid doug and i the shipping charges that it cost us to fix the problem, so at least doug's side was done, and he was happy with his transaction. no harm, no foul. anyway, i demanded a $150 refund out of the $800 total payment i sent him for both lots and shipping. he refused and said that he already paid doug and i $20 each to ship them back to the correct buyer, so i opened up 2 paypal disputes (even though the other transaction with the snes stuff was a perfect transaction... yea i know, that was a dick move, but i needed to make sure that i got some money back). they KNEW they were fucked, so they refunded both payments and told me to ship the stuff back to them. by that time (3 weeks after the claim was filed, i had cleaned all the games and even sold/traded some of them away, so shipping them back wasnt possible. sooooooooo, yada yada yada, they asked me to send them $600 and we called it even.
if they wouldve just sent me the $150 i asked for in the beginning, they wouldve saved themselves the hassle and the negative feedback i left them. instead, it cost them $200 and they got negged BIG TIME!
overall, i didnt lose out on any money and the deal for all of the things was a good deal, but because of the condition of some of them, it was about going rate. it was just a pain in the ass. fire n ice cib was described as great condition (the box was literally torn like a phone book is torn in a tough man competition). bonks was described as cib (thank god the box was a 9.5/10 as well as the cart) and it didnt even come with a manual. finally, the cib bomberman 2 that was supposed to be great condition had blockbuster razor slashes on both spines, and they were very bad. what an asshole!
There's currently a non-receipt dispute open in my Paypal account, for a purchase done right here on NA.
Also got screwed on a $125 order to CANADA that sucked big time!
Had another package delivered and still lost the claim
not too bad overall however
Contra force + Adventures of Link + Super Mario 3 for 30$ plus shipping. It never arrived. There was no picture. Told me the package was delivered back to him after a month, and said he resent it priority. Never got it, never heard from him. Filed a paypal claim and he got super pissed off at me! Ebay name was SuperFuzzyMuff or something.
hahaahah that seller is a douche... but i think you got him mixed up with your original seller. there is NO WAY that the fuzzymuff fellow woulda sold you those 3 carts for that price. his prices were astronomical on his stuff. maybe he cheated you on another deal though, cuz he cheated a lot of people.
fire n ice cib was described as great condition (the box was literally torn like a phone book is torn in a tough man competition).
I love this description, made me laugh out loud a little.
Wasn't much, anyways. Only like $50 - few GB/GBC items.
My most recent case of being cheated was actually on Amazon. We sent an order to Alaska several weeks ago. After about three weeks, the customer kept emailing, frantic that his N64 system had not yet arrived. I told him basically the same thing everytime, that customs had possession of his package of it was not there yet, but that it would eventually arrive. After the fourth week the buyer filed a complaint, similar to a Paypal dispute. We've only had one other on Amazon, and were also fucked on that one, but in a different way. I provided tracking for the package, which at the time only said that the item had at some point passed through Washington. Because the package did not get to his house by some date Amazon promises, they stole my money back and gave it to the buyer. Now the buyer gets his system and his money. Needless to say I will no longer ship to Alaska, and I told Amazon to reverse the bullshit decision, or close my account. Amazon is only good for Christmas anyway, so no terrible loss if we were to no longer sell there. Just absolute garbage how they handle claims, and I recommend no one ever even consider selling on Amazon.
Yeah there A to Z guarantee sucks for the seller. I would second that avoid amazon
