Paul B. 523 Report post Posted April 25, 2003 Sometimes you have to just weed out the slow pays or charge them interest. If you charge interest, make sure it's in the contract up front. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VanDiesel99 14 Report post Posted October 15, 2004 I was ripped off for an item on ebay, and was wondering if they were the type of company that would track someone down for a situation such as this. I have already contacted the attorney general's office in that area, but they don't care. If I could find the person I would have a better time dealing with the problem without paying lawyer fees.

Henry B. 4 Report post Posted October 15, 2004 What was the item and how much was it for? Ebay can usually help out with this stuff a bit. You can also give them a rip off review too. If it was for pw stuff who was it? just so they don't burn anyone else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RyanH 14 Report post Posted October 15, 2004 Ebay has traditionally stonewalled any efforts to go after fraudulent sellers....they used to block their account from buying/selling until it was resolved, but over the past few years they have gotten too big too fast. How did you pay? There are some other ways of going after them, like through the postal service if you mailed a check to them for an item you never received.

timhays 14 Report post Posted October 15, 2004 i lost a bid to a vandiesel username on ebay what were you bidding on when this happened? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VanDiesel99 14 Report post Posted October 18, 2004 The item was a 13hp pw'r. I paid through paypal(they recovered 9 dollars for me "thanks"). The item was over the limit that ebay would insure or whatever. The username was whiterodeo2001 but I got them removed from ebay immediately. I bought the item minutes before they got some really bad feedback. Was that the same item tim? If it was then you should of out bid me!! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beth n Rod 1,279 Report post Posted October 18, 2004 This used to be part of the thread in the Library about Reign In Your Receivables. We were off topic, and also we wish to try to keep the articles in the library as just that - articles, so we have moved some of the response comments. Enjoy.
