Default My ebay wing UPDATE

I just realized I wrote the wrong date on my post. I won and paid for the FW on march 20. I finally filed a grievance with ebay last night. This morning I had a grievance against me for non payment. I contacted ebay and they suggested I contact PayPal to get my money back. Told them I didn't want my money back, I wanted the FW (got it for $162.00 and now I'm thinking the seller is trying to get out of the deal). Ebay checked the history and found that the seller used a different email to post the FW then she uses for her PayPal. Ebay suggested I contact the seller again and this time I got a response that she has been ill and shipped the machine out today. Why would she ship the same day she claimed she didn't get paid? Anyway, I don't care. I just want the machine.

Gosh I hope you get the machine and everything turns out OK! My experience wasn't so good, altho I did get my money back from PayPal - I was like you (didn't want the money, I wanted the FW machine). The seller reniged on the deal after I had paid and left me for 10 days or so expecting the UPS truck at any minute. Needless to say I was really upset and I still don't have a FW! I hope the person you purchased from wasn't in Montana! Do let us know when your machine arrives.

I hope everything turns out ok. I do understand about that email issue with Paypal. If a seller makes a typo in their auction listing in the email address for Paypal, it carries through on your payment, and the payment goes to Lalaland. Your transaction has gotten off to a bad start, so let's hope that things improve. The seller should be able to give you some tracking information, so that you can follow the transit.

Good Grief! Sounds like Seller's Remorse- she was probably hoping for a $400 sale. I think the PayPal payment would have "bounced" and you'd receive an immediate "heads up" warning. I'm guessing she indeed had a second PayPal bank
account and received the money. Shame on her! So- are you going to name your machine "Trouble"? Hopefully it will be safe in your hands any day now.

That's why I don't do PayPal. Using a credit card is much better because you can always have the charge removed.
