VENT away, I still use it, but have a few similar stories and the fees keep going up and up.. I've sold some high dollar stuff, guy said he NEVER got it even though I sent it and HE FUCKING SIGNED for it, sent all the receipts and signatures to paypal and ebay, same thing, gave him ALL his money back, I'm out my money and my merchandise...now I video everything I ship and take pictures etc....it's a joke...
Feel your pain brother......not very many honest people left....

Well as a buyer on Ebay I was screwed recently. I bought a exhaust pipe for my Bigdog and the item was described as:
I had these installed on one of my bikes to try them out. They have been used for about 1 hour. They sound great. I sold the bike. There is nothing wrong with these exhaust... I just no longer need them. They come with shields and an unused O2 sensor kit from Drag Specialties (part number: 1861-0594).
Thanks for looking!
After contacting the seller thru email on Ebay and thru text and phone conversation I bought these pipes for $499. I noticed right away a grinded spot on the rear pipe which of course was not in his Ebay photos, but I figured the heat shield would cover it so what the hell the pipes looked ok, but I could tell they were used for more than an hour. So I send that Saturday installing my new pipes, and for some reason I can't seem to get them to clear my rear belt pulley cover. So I called the manufacturer of these pipes and asked for so advide on what I might be doing wrong. I explained the pipes to him and when I mentioned the O2 sensor holes he told me right away that the pipes were made for left side drive bikes.
So of course I contact the seller and tell him the problem. And I told him I was sorry but I would have to send the pipes back because they wouldn't fit my bike as he described. Not sure how he did it, but when I bought the pipes it said on his profile he accepted returns, but after I contacted him he told me to look again at his ad, it now said he didn't accept returns. So, I filed a complaint with Ebay, and told them that the item wasn't as described, and was also damaged. They reviewed it and said I should have got it in writing that the pipe would fit that the text message I sent them could have been made up. SO I went further, I went to Paypal Credit and they too sided with the seller. So, now I have a set of pipes for a left side drive bike with a grinded on place and paying paypal credit for something I can't use and will never get my money back for. Oh and I left negative feedback on the seller, Ebay removed it off his account.

Weird exact same thing happened to me PayPal covered me. They said they didn't order it after he gave me positive feedback.
The tracking number was all they asked for

I'm REALLY surprised at that because a whole left hand side setup I sold was missing 1 bolt and they gave him back all his money....
I guess now they are screwing both buyers and sellers...

Well, believe it, I have the emails, from both Ebay and Paypal. The Items description is what cost me they said. The item was listed as a CUSTOM HARLEY CHOPPER EXHAUST, how many items on ebay have the same description and items bought will fit the BigDogs? The brand of exhaust I thought was made just for right hand drive bikes. Until after calling the company did I find out that this year (2016) they will be selling the same exhaust for left hand drive bikes, and that this exhaust that I had purchased had leaked out of the warehouse somehow. But either way because he listed it with the name Harley in it and Harleys are left side drive, I was told by ebay and Paypal that I should have done more research on the item I was buying. Hell, I contacted the seller and had text messages of him telling me that it should fit and it would fit a right side drive, I even got the company to send me a text saying it wouldn't fit. Here is the grinded spot I spoke of, yeah this pipe is only an hour old. But Ebay nor Paypal cared about that.

These decisions are probably made by a 22 yr old little girl in some cubical that has never even ridden a bike never less worked on one.

Actually I asked her if she rode and she told me that she actually did. That her bike was a 2011 Road King with a 30 inch front with the neck cut and the blah..blah..blah., ect. But again it is your responsibility to research the part your buying is what she said to me. But I don't know if shes hot or not, but she could make a lot of money working for a 1-900- call center late at night. lmao
I don't buy shit from ebay that's more than $100.00 bucks. That's my level of pain. If I want it, I hit buy it now and go direct otherwise fuck it. I see stories everyday about the bull shit from Ebay and Paypal. What a crock. Good luck to the folks making a living with them. Your brave souls to say the least.

Slick - I sell vintage Mustang parts on fleabay and I also will not leave feedback to the buyer until they leave me feedback. While I totally understand that you paid asap and that is that, I got burned 3x doing that. I left great feedback to the buyer then they left me shitty unfair feedback. All my listings are extremely honestly described. Not sticking up for shady peeps, but I gotta say I understand this guys rule. Fleabay sux big time tho all around!!

The seller cannot leave neg feedback for a buyer so all buyers have 100% pos feedback...
