Stupid People!!!!!
 

i won a VS300 on ebay last week. i sent the payment right out, got the tracking # from UPS to be dropped off today, left work a little early, and saw the package on my doorstep when i got home. anticipating the new reel, i ran inside and opened the box right up. what do i find in the box? a PENN 850SS!!!!!!!!!! WTF!!!! :af: :af: :af: :af: i did not pay $450 for another friggin' penn! i am trying to contact the seller now........

:eek: :smash: :smash: :eek: YIKES!

I'm sure there must have been some mistake :rolleyes:

I think I'd be going on a road trip

Uh Ben, did you miss the part about it being shipped UPS? :cool: ;)

Oops. :hihi:

well, i talked to the seller on the phone a little while ago. i guess the seller manages 7 pawn shops in Florida. they sell a ton of stuff on ebay, and packaged the wrong reel. :rolleyes: the guy i talked to said the reel will be shipped right out. i also emailed the seller, though, and someone responded saying that they were "minutes away" from emailing me as they had just figured out what happened. the odd part is that the guy on the phone, who claimed to manage the ebay account, said he did not send me the email. i didn't mind a few years ago when i got screwed on a $20 atom, (back when you could actually pay that for one) but i will not let this go. doesn't eBay do something about re-imbursing its members? i think it is for items over $50 or something.

good luck tlapinski....smells like somthing is rotten...

How was the sellers "feedback" ?.. I hope this guy comes through for you .. :af:

Ohh!! imagine if it was a zebco in that box you opened:laughs:

Toby. now I understand :)
Hope this work's out for ya,
I bought some mint stuff from a porno shop :)

I don't want to know what kind of plug you bought there! :smash:

did he tell ya to keep the other reel @ no charge OOPSSSSSS must have got lost in the mail later link:cool:

I ve had a few things shipped by mistake thru E-bay and they were all corrected by the sellers. Good luck T :)

Toby,

How did ya' make out with this?

Rob

still waiting to hear back today. supposed to get an email or a call from them. i emailed the person that won the 850ss which was shipped to me. he was shipped the VanStaal! i am very lucky he is an honest guy and is returning the reel. he paid $63 for the penn, but got a $450 reel instead. :eek:

that's good news...I was rootin 4 ya:D

I've probably spent close to 10 grand on ebay the past 5 years. Never been burnt, although I never deal with people if the feedback isn't close to 100%...

-spence

never a problem cept once this last winter
Mr T let us know ifems U get ur reel........

??????????????:confused:

still waiting.......... :smash:

:eek:

Only had ONE bad experience, and it was kinda my fault.
Bought this machine from a guy with a couple a negatives (mistake # 1). Weighed about maybe 100 lbs tops. Guy charges me $175.00 shipping. Stupid me I agree to it and gave my credit card, so mow hes got my email and CC # as proof, cant dispute that.
I Find out later from the shipper he actually paid $90 . This had nothing to do with Palletizing either, that was seperate. He just decided he didnt like my bid, so he tacked on more shipping. :af:
Hes not a seller anymore, apparantly he did the exact same thing it to about a 8 other people (i emailed 2 of the negatives & they confirmed it) Hes no longer a seller. Lets just say he was having trouble with bogus bids for a while by "newbies".:rolleyes:

Funny thing was , the guy then calls his ship co. and yells at guy in charge there for them telling me the actual price(i know how to get info) and the shipper calls me back on the fon demanding to know how I found out , so i tell him I think it was YOU wans't it ?, i wans't gonna get the poor girl that gave me the info in trouble, not her fault.
Lesson learned. Arrange your own shipping if you can for larger items unless you know the rates.
:smash:

T, I Really hope you get your reel, and enjoy it.
not trying to hijack your thread...

man that blows,

hope everything works out for ya toby.

no contact from the seller for two days. i did finally get this today:
i am still SO PISSED at this!!!! :af: no mention of an apology for F'ing things up.

that stinks , tell Him You want Your doe back and go to safe harbor Before You get took
You may not get ripped off ,But better to be safe

Time to take a ride I could intoduce him to the Little B and Big B. Cause the are big and scarey looking. THomT

Toby, I'm sure things will work out good for you. Keep the faith bro.

well? aynthing?>

still waiting for the reel. :af: the guy they shipped my reel to said he returned it last week. i sent mine back tuesday. still waiting for some response ....................
