Default Do Not Buy Off This Person On Ebay

Guys,

I have lost $400 to this guy. He has come up with so many excuses it not funny. There is nothing i can do.

The story go's.....

I wanted to purchase two new EL fairmont headlights and was all good until he contacted me to say that he will give it to me cheaper. I was very new at ebay so i did not know you could deduct a discount once you buy item. Any he ended up sending it but called me to tell me that it was the wrong lights and asked if i could send it back. I called to post office and they did.

Then nothing. I called and he said that his assistant was sorting it out. The best one he gave me is when he said he didnt have any left so he was going to refund me. A week after he says that he got his briefcase stolen with all his cards and everything in it and is wait for his bank to give him new accounts.

Ive attached his info below:

Ebay name: UNITD8

Name: Kerry

Email: evassili@bigpond.net.au

He sells alot of Ford stuff.

Do a search on ebay under discription for evassili and you should read all his crap about why he has all those negative feedbacks.

IF HE CAN SCAM YOU HE WILL. Its your choice.

Mate if that would help it would be good but he has that many storys that it would probably be no good.

Maybe he will say that i slept with his wife and now im out to get him. HEY HE HAS SAID IT ABOUT SOMEONE ELSE BEFORE FOR LEAVING NEGATIVE FEEDBACK.

Going on his eBay history, I might wait to see if his story rings true. How long has it been that all this has happened?

4 months ago.

I sort of just let it go but something today reminded me about it and i wanted to get the word out. Do what you feel is best.

The funny thing is how he has to try and explain to everyone why he has bad feedback.

I just read through page upon page of feedback and it looks like majority have been happy..

These types of warnings are good though because now people can make up their own mind with a bit of knowledge that someone has not had a good experience..

I think it is good to be wary and I guess if I were to buy anything I would ask lots of questions and then with the sending part maybe PayPal isn't such a bad thing after all....

Hope you get it sorted though, don't let it go completely.. The person has your money then they either send you the item or refund the money...

If you have any documentation on this issue (emails, bank deposits, postage receipts etc).. Send Ebay an email first off alerting them to the issue and the date... Then attach copies of everything you have.

If you contact Ebay, they have to respond.. Don't let it go.. Fight the fight, it is worth it.. It is YOUR money at the end of the day, not the person that has it now...

Good luck and please do contact Ebay and keep us informed also..

The only prob is that Yes it was an ebay item but No i didnt buy through ebay as he had his mobile number there and we did a deal for them over the phone. I dont think Ebay will not have anything to do with that.

I do find it interesting that he does have loads of positive feedback, but you have to wonder if some of those positive feedbacks were actually neutral/negative...
