ripped off by ebay
I need info. i bought a nismo bumper off e-bay the 23rd of last month. the seller never shipped the item and i e-mailed like 20 times. then i filed a claim. paypal is currently waiting for a response from the seller. if he doesnt respont itll probly be in my favor. i was just wondering if anyone has ever not gotten a refund if it was in theyre favor. i was also wondering if anyone has any tips to tell wether the seller is BSor not besides feedback. thanks yall.

Yeah. I got ripped off by some asian dude when I bought my first v3 Razr... Paypal refunded me as much as possible (after processing fee), and it was all good after that. A good way to tell a good seller is by description of the item, pictures (wether theyre stock or google photos, or actual item) their location and what payments they accept, and most of all pay attention to their grammar and overall neatness. If it looks sloppy and uneducated, I dont trust them.

i read somthin about the seller has to have buyer protection in order for you to get a refund but i really didnt understand it. every body i talked to who used paypal said they got a refund. i was wondering if anybody on here didnt get a refund while paypal decided in theyre favor because the seller didnt have buyer protection. also thanks for the tips man. the seller did have googled pictures now that i think about it. BUYERS BEWHERE OF ''arocarparts''!

If they really are trying to rip you off, there's a chance that they've emptied/cancelled the account tied to their paypal, so in that case you wouldn't get anything back. Also make sure you don't let it go over 30 days, because paypal won't help you after that.

if paypal doesnt cover you, your credit card company should. report a dispute, and file the paperwork. i bought some dvds off pacific rim years ago. they forgot one dvd and i called and emailed with no luck. decided to call up Providian. yay for excellent service (especially with platinum cards )

I've never had a problem with paypal giving me money back (all of it). Filing the claim is good enough, just be patient. Don't double claim with the credit card company, if they find out (and they will) that you made twice the money you lost (aka profit) they wont ever honor another one of your claims.

aw crap. i used debit. also the bumper popped up in my myebay account again as if i bought. also, the seller responded and said he gave me a refund so they closed the claim in paypal. now i dont have anything. and i dont know what to do. i contacted a few guys that left negitive feedback. they told me the same thing happened to them. I guess im screwed. do not buy bumpers off of ebay. now my account is ruined because theres a 180 bumper that says i ned to pay for it. I WILL NEVER USE EBAY AGAIN.

Its way easier to just call the credit card company first. I dont know why more people dont do that.

Yes I know A LOT about this stuff. Ive gone through so much of this before. As long as you have a "paper trail" (ie Paypal, bank statements, etc.) your fine. Hope this helped out a little.

good luck bro
i have had a few misunderstandings online with pay pal and eBay. but i was on them asap. when i buy i request information right away such as tracking etc.
i have been buying/selling major and minor parts from/on eBay since 2003. you have to read sellers info before you bid/buy
