flyhi 24 #1 June 10, 2004 16 May - I saw a PC101 on eBay. I wrote the seller asking about the condition, he wrote back QuoteThis is a used camcorder. The warenty in expired. It is 100% functionable. the only problem i had with it was the tape deck. That has been repaired. I have the recipt for that problem I won the bid on 17 May and PayPal'ed the money to Derrick Smith as requested. eBay wrote back QuoteThis email confirms that you sent a payment for $442.50 USD to [email protected] for Sony DCR-PC101 I received nothing from ol' Derrick for about two weeks. I wrote to him and received no response. I wrote to eBay and they sent his phone number ((310) 503-8412). I called. He never answered, but I left a msg. No joy. I contacted PayPal. PayPal said: QuotePlease allow at least 30 days for completion of this investigation. Our investigation will be made on a best-effort basis and PayPal does not guarantee funds recovery. They said it would take 10 days for resolution. Today PayPal wrote back: QuoteOur investigation has determined that the seller is at fault, and as a result we have attempted to recover your funds. $194.27 USD has been credited to your account. This was my seventh transaction on eBay and the only one which went badly. Be that as it may, I will never use it again. Too much chance for a repeat of this. Oh yeah, if anyone knows Derrick Smith ([email protected], [email protected]) of Los Angeles, how about docking real hard on him for me.Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

MissMae 0 #8 June 10, 2004 Just sent him an email. Hope he has a big inbox. He'll have it come back to bite him in the ass. Not that it helps you out right now... Sorry, that really sucks. Oh, and if you are going to buy new, stay away from Broadway Photo, nothing but problems and scams. Personal experience. take the time to appreciate the people around you.

What kind of math was this? I do buy electronic items off ebay, but generally just new items from retail outlets. I'm more likely to go to craigslist for used items where I can pick them up.

Kris 0 #12 June 11, 2004 Did you use a credit card to pay through PayPal? If so, contact your card company and cancel the charge. Also, the reason you only got that small amount back was probably because that's all the money the seller had in *his* paypal acct. This is why I use a credit card for purchases like that.Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyhi 24 #14 June 11, 2004 QuoteYour make that big officer pay! Stop being a tight ass and just buy another one! How soon we forget, grasshopper, the ex makes the big bucks. I make the mediocre bucks, remember? Quotewhile your at it pick me up a PC 9 also! You ruined the surprise. That was going to be your wedding gift. Looks like we will have to go with the fondue set, now. I had my PayPal set up on my checking account so as soon as they said it was paid, the money was gone. Why did I do that? Because they recommended it as the best way to go. Then again, I really thought it was a wardrobe malfunction. I'm trusting like that (read: Sucker!).Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
