I attended Church in Creston, Iowa on Sunday Aug 11th because my husband was coming home from being over the road and I was going to meet him for lunch after church. This is the same pastor who gave our wedding vows 13 yrs earlier and I had moved so i thought it would be nice to attend there before i met up with my husband. I was greeted by the pastor and members of the church and after the service the pastor was visiting with me catching up on how the family was doing. He asked what job I was doing now and I told him I have been listing items on ebay from home so that I could stay home with the children. He then asked me if I could list a couple cars for him on ebay that he needed to sell for the church. We agreed that He would pay the cost of the listing fees and I would get 5% comission of the sale. I was very excited about this and made plans to meet him to go over the details and get photos of the cars. I met with Pastor McCutchan on Friday August 24th and got the vehicle flaws, details and photos of each vehicle and told him it would cost aprox $50 to list each vehicle more or less depending on what features he wanted to use to list them. I gave him my email address and the address where the vehicles would be listed and told him when i planned to list the vehicles and I needed them to view the listing for any mistakes so that they could be corrected before any bids were placed. Mrs. McCutchan called me the afternoon I listed the auction and told me how pleased she was with the listings and that I had represented them very well. Pastor McCutchan had given me explicit instructions on how he wanted them listed and the price he needed for each vehicle. He had also told me that one of them was a special edition of one of only 1,200.00 made of this model. I took his word for it and an expert of this vehicle contacted me 2 days into the auction and told me there was a mistake in my listing and it was not a special edition. I left word with the McCutchan's on there answer machine that i needed to revise the auction because it was proven to me the car was not a limited edition. The auctions hade 19 watchers on one and 30 watchers on the other but no one put in a big on the vehicles and they did not sale. I had sent an invoice to the home of Pastor McCutchan with the bill for the listings. No responce. I then sent a second copy to the Assembly of God Church the following week. No responce. I left phone messages but no return calls. I sent a letter to them asking them to please pay because I could not afford the cost of his listings coming out of my account since our family only brings home $800.00 a month and we have 5 children. But I have not heard from them and I feel that I was conned and taken advantage of because they represent a pillar of our comunity. Can you help me make this right?
