E-Bay Scam, or; "I'll Never, Ever Do That Again"

[4-stringB]

I just purchased a mixer off of E-bay. It has been one disaster after another. The item number doesn't exist, so they can't help me. I have no order history, so when they ask for the transaction number, it won't register. "Customer Service" is an endless loop. They assigned me a guest password, it doesn't work. and as they sent me a guest password, then they tell me my e-mail address is invalid....As I slide off into the E-Bay abyss, let this be a warning to the rest of you.........

Just cancel your purchase through PayPal.

That will get some attention and the ball rolling in your favor.

The one thing that eBay understands is taking their money away from them.

I don’t get how ebay doesn’t have any kind of record of the auction or transaction. Did the seller hack them or something?

But yeah, go at it from PayPal if all else fails.

Well...Just for the record the mixer arrived on schedule. It was pretty much as I expected, slightly used, but almost like new. Very pleased that everything seems to work as advertised. Maybe my nervous novice status to E-Bay skewed my perspective somewhat, but they were no help whatsoever....Who remembers the days of 50 cents and two boxtops, 6 to 8 weeks for your order to arrive...all damn summer...haunting the mailbox...where's that damn mailman....
