| AARRGGGHHHH Paypal/Ebay RANT I WIN!
I am FUMING right now and I need to vent this out... 2 weeks ago I listed this Hi-lift jack on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MESOX:IT I decided to part with it now that the Pro-line ones are out. I started the auction at 5$ with 6$ shipping. By the time it ended it went for 55$ I was extremely excited as I could really use the cash to get some more 1.55s and some other goodies I have been wanting to get. Its becoming harder and harder to juggle bother the 1:1 and the RC hobby so a few things I have decided to sell. The buyer sent the money on Monday, I contacted them and thank them for the quick payment and told them it would be ship ASAP. I mailed it Thursday, priority mail, and I thought all was good. That was until I see I have question on another Hi-lift jack I am selling... and its from her saying this: Quote:

LOL what a moron. $55 for a real highlift? that would be like someone buying a scaler and wanting their $400 back because its not a real car... i really hope that paypal gives your money back, and makes her pay for being a dumbass |

Haha I wonder how many times this happens. I get crappy comments on my YouTube all the time that are guys pissed off because half way through the video they realize they're watching toys. Hope paypal goes your way Mike. |

I had an auction some years ago that I purchased and item and never received it. The seller wouldn't respond to my emails, either. I filed a PayPal dispute and escalated it as normal. PayPal said that they couldn't do anything b/c the seller didn't have any money in their account. The seller canceled their eBay acct shortly after the auction ended. I also sold something to someone on eBay and they never received the item. I didn't get a Delivery Conf # or anything on it...dumb on my part. I just knew that I sent it via Priority Mail. The buyer filed a complaint and escalated it. I knew that I sent it and he was just trying to scam me. Having been on the other end of this type of thing before, I deposited all my PayPal balance into my Bank Account so that it would be a $0.00 balance and they couldn't take it from me. After everything was said any done, PayPal took the money from me some how, I had like a -$95.00 balance. I don't know why they couldn't do that for me when I was the buyer. These are the only 2 problems that I have had with eBay/PayPal, but they hit me for around $360. |

When I saw you'd sold that for $55, my first thought was "wonder if he thinks it's a real Hi-Lift" I know my next auction will sayTHIS IS A MODEL except bigger. Maybe flashing. |

Dam that sucks. Hopefully paypal returns your money. I doubt that ebay will fix any negative feedback. A family member of mine had a dispute that was similar to yours concerning some shoes and a dispute over shoe size, paypal sided with her, the seller, and she got her money back. The buyer left negative feedback, which ruined a 100% feedback of over a 1000 sales. Ebay said that because the transaction was so small they didn't feel that the one negative feedback warranted an investigation for correction. Ebay also informed her that Paypal's decision to side with her is they're own companies findings and have no bearing on a feedback dispute. This was like 5 years ago, I know that both ebay and paypal have made many changes to their policies. Unfortunately, most of the changes that I've read through only lowers ebay's and paypal's liability in disputes. Even though they claim it's for the buyer's and seller's protection... bull $h!t. That just sucks. To bad a dum ass had to buy your awesome scale jack. |

| These days I'm convinced that a large portion of our population actually cannot read. It's not that they "don't", they actually lack the ability to in the first place. I see evidence of it practically on the daily. The stupid beeatch could have just driven to her local Tractor Supply and picked up a real Hi-Lift jack for only 25 bucks more than she spent on the auction, and brought it home that day. What kind of dumb-ass A) shops for something that big and heavy on-line, and B) then thinks she's getting something that's 5 feet long and weighs 40 or 50 pounds shipped for only 6 bucks?? She would have actually saved money going to Tractor Supply, since she would have undoubtedly seen the imitation jack they carry for $45 and gotten it instead. But then her husband may have put his foot in her ass for buying a cheap imitation and made her return it. Then she'd be in the hole. I hope you at least get the jack back dude, Good Luck!

If I were you I wouldn't even reply to her. I'd wright to paypal and tell them that she just admitted to being wrong and having not read the entire ad. Case done give me my money back. Or if you continue to write to her you should just be a perfect gentlemen, be nice and understanding of her mistakes, and continue collecting statements of her admitting to be wrong. | |

Stupid bitch. BTW....You should have no further direct contact with her. All your responses are being sent to PayPal by her. Anything you say WILL be used against you. She's a dumbass and once the issue is resolved one way or the other you can flame her out of existence. |

If she has never used a jack of any kind how does she know it isn't a real high lift? :-P I would consider putting a quarter in the pictures from now on for size reference, but then you'll have to put a note in the description that the "giant quarter is not included" Some people's stupidity amazes me. I hate dealing with Paypal and Ebay. I get my paypal balance down to zero as qickly as possible just for this reason. |

This is why I don't have a Ebay account any more! Man I'm sorry to hear this! She is a dumb ass! PayPal will give her the money and you will get a - feedback. They alway side with the buyer now for any reason! It's BS!!!! The real messed up part is they won't make her send back the HiLift! They will give her the $ and she will keep the lift! It is clearly her fault for not reading and not knowing what she was even looking for! I really hope it works out for you but with Ebay I have no faith! Ebay is great if you want to sell a McNegget, but if you want to sell anything else your screwed!!! |
