Need to Vent. Any Ebayers?

If you paid with it via credit card I would send the item back regardless of what he claims that it is a "gift" since you did not agree to that and since he has a 3 day money back guarantee. You should be able to get your money back via paypal and or your credit card. If he doesn't want to voluntarily give it back there is plenty of recourse (the credit card company probably being the best). If he doesn't give the money back he could have criminal charges brought against him such as grand theft (it only takes a phone call). Make sure though you save all your communication with him and if you do send it back make sure you expressly state you are following the money back guarantee provision as described in the contract for sale and returning the item.

yeah - make sure you take a screen shot of his listing with the return policy. contact ebay and paypal(if you used it). They have a buyer's guarantee up to a certain limit that applies to most purchases.

Doesn't matter what seller says about the gift if you send it - s/he had a clear return policy. and yeah, tell the seller you are contacting the police (whether you do so or not) and will take the seller to small claims court. if you really want to press, if that seller is a big seller, contact the IRS and suggest they look into his/her finances to report proper taxes.

good luck

and i've been screwed both as a seller and as a buyer. i bought a phone "just as new" that looked like a dog used it as a chew toy. sold something and the prick said he couldn't fork the money and if i could give a discount. i obviously don't use it anymore. but i'm not bitter about the experience...
