I purchased an ice merchandiser through eBay with eBay Buyer Protection
I paid 629.00 dlls. Plus 307.00 dlls. in advance for item to be delivered.
The seller's user name in eBay is Octovent / John Bricker.
Seller sent me a non-working item which I reported immediately to eBay
eBay sent me a message not to worry about since I have eBay Buyer Protection
eBay required pictures and a written estimate to make a decision at resolution center.
eBay decided on February 29 that I will get my money back for original purchase and freight cost only.
eBay required me to send the item back which I paid an additional amount of $ 230.00 dlls.
Ice merchandiser was handled incorrectly by carrier and suffered a partial damage to the glass door
Fortunately item was insured and agreed to pay an amount of 377.00 dlls. for damage.
eBay specialist named Scott D called me and explained that eBay would pay me the rest of amount once he call the insurance adjuster to verify that the amount of $ 377.00 will be send to me.
Freight Co. is requiring an additional $ 230.00 for services on several attempts to deliver item.
I purchased this item on January 28 and I have spent over 1,700 dlls. Plus 9 weeks waiting to get my money back.
At this moment eBay sent me a message stating that case is closed and I won't get my money back!!!
Does this sound and looks like a rip off?
I think that all consumers out there need to be aware about these fraudulent practices on internet which are becoming more common everyday, We need to do something about this soon!!
