Re: How would you handle this...ebay situation?
If it really is that good I wouldn't risk loosing it for $120.00. HOWEVER once it is on your trailer explain to the SOB that payback is sometimes a bitch and you get to post FEEDBACK on eBay, NEGATIVE FEEDBACK! Then ask him if he really wants the $120.00? As a seller I know eBay anf PayPay take a fee he's a dope for not knowing. Let us know how things go. Bob

Re: How would you handle this...ebay situation?
If it was me, I would go, inspect the parts, pay the extra's, and load the trailer and then pull off his property. I feel that you want this deal to happen. Then I would threaten him with report to PayPal, and the smearing of his name on this and other sites, (Hamb), that he might visit. Be sure to follow through with this. He might cave in and do the right thing.

Re: How would you handle this...ebay situation?
Negative F/B means nothing to some sellers as they are NOT every day sellers.. And to make it worse, even others could care less & keep right on buying...

Re: How would you handle this...ebay situation?
I never got anywhere with a claim with paypal.I bought something for $4-$500,somewhere in there.I never got what I bought.I went back and forth with the guy,he didn't ignore me anyway.Wife had kicked him out,restraining order,couldn't get the parts,etc.I said fine,send my money back.That was already gone too.I filed a claim with paypal,they recovered $56. or so.When I asked about their buyer protection I was told they recovered everything they could from his account.Just by accident I had used my own credit card,not the paypal credit.My card company took the money from paypal.Paypal was extremely unhappy.At this point anything you do is going to end on a sour note.What do you suppose is going on in his head after reading all these suggestions?He IS reading this,he put the chassis on ebay because he felt he would get more money for it there than on here.

Re: How would you handle this...ebay situation?
If you want the stuff bad enough, pay him and get it overwith. Then try to bitch to PayPal and see if anything comes out of it. You can't fight "city hall".

Re: How would you handle this...ebay situation?
I deal a lot on ebay/ buy and sell with an emphasis on selling. Anything I sell on ebay is as follows, I pay the listing fee, the percentaged that ebay charges and all buyers are "supposed" to pay me with paypal. I accept money orders or cash in person and ebay can't do anything about that... The buyer I beleive pays for the paypal fee, I could be wrong, however, if I have to pay for the paypal fee it would come from my earnings through ebay but it has always been a small percentage and I haven't even noticed nor would complain about what they take out. They provide an easy service that is basically "as good as cash"... So in short pay pal does take a fee either from the purchaser or from the seller but it is a small percentage compared to the purchase price and $120 sounds like a substantial amount of money to owe the guy whom claims paypal charged him that. As far as I'm concerned he knew pay pal takes a certain amount of money when he lists on ebay and the minute he clicks the "list" button leaves all transactions and percentages taken from the final selling up to ebay and pay pal. As long as he didn't state that the buyer had to pay for the "pay pal" fee in his listing then you are not responsible for paying that fee! If he did state that in his listing/auction the item probably would have been taken off or ended by the ebay "crew" because they don't take too kind to things or stipulations like that... So I wouldn't pay the guy the extra $120 unless you feel that the parts are worth the extra cash and if not file a complaint and get your money back and wait for an honest seller to sell you some good parts...

Re: How would you handle this...ebay situation?
I'm no math wiz, but I believe the PayPal fee is around $3.00 per every $100.00, as a seller I don't have a problem getting $97.00 instantly on a $100.00 sale vs. waiting for a Money Order in the old days. We don't know what the total was on the sale that started this thread but I think the $120.00 may be more than the actual PayPal fee.

I mean let's face it, you don't walk into McDonnalds to buy a burger and get told "Well, the burger is a buck but the utility company really put the screws to us this month so you owe us an extra 20 cents..." do you? Pay the guy his $120 and then file a claim with PayPal. Negative feedback on eBay doesn't mean squat, but I guarantee that once his PayPal account gets locked up and he can't get to his money (or can't continue to receive money from other folks) he'll get cooperative really quick!

Re: How would you handle this...ebay situation?
IF the chassis in question was the one I found on eBay the seller has ZERO feedbacks, so he/she may be clueless to things, still starting life on eBay with a big negative wouldn't help future sales.

File a claim after you pick up the parts and have paid him. Better yet tell him you will only pay the overage by pay pal and then file. This gives you a paper trail to use for proof. |

Re: How would you handle this...ebay situation?
I do believe your PayPal deposit is non-refundable and part of your transaction is not part of the original eBay listing. eBay will not help you with the off-ebay transaction, PayPal may.
Either way, you're going to lose some money, maybe you can split the difference of the fee with the seller. PayPal can either be good or bad when it comes to buying and selling. You need to read the fine print. If you can get all your money back, that would be great. See if the seller will work with you. |

Re: How would you handle this...ebay situation?
I would be concerned that you are even going to get what you already paid for go pay the 120 put parts in transportation and then proceed to put a can of ass whipping on him (just kidding sounds good) I do a lot of eBay business. Do not mess with eBay as this is a deal between you and seller via PayPal if deal is bad go through PayPal and turn him into eBay with negative feed back. Deal will probably work out perfect for you chalk up the 120 as learning curve.

Re: How would you handle this...ebay situation?
Ebay is the best game in town but a big ripoff. Much like Hershey. A friend sold some stuff for $805 including shipping and the total fees for ebay and paypal were over $100. Yes, they charge you for the shipping too. So, if you have some bulky items that cost as much to ship as you sold them for you are paying double the fees. There should be a class action suit but i think this was done because people were putting real cheap stuff with high shipping fees to avoid paying the commission. if you want the parts you will have to pay. if the part is advertised on ebayand you need it everyone will pay.
