Ticked: Retarded eBay seller selling me 2 Dreamcast Konami DDR dance mats and changing shipping from $25 to $95 after the auction ended. I give him negative feedback. He threatens to report me... What the Hell!?... :evil:

I guess maybe he doesn't realize that it would take Ebay all of two key strokes to bring up the items auction history and see what he did? You'll wipe the floor with this jackass.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Words of truth. You have nothing to worry about.

What is ebay's take on this situation.

Shipping is listed at $4.00, but in the actual ad, it says, "ignore the shipping of $4, ebay won't let me put in actual shipping which is $18 - please wait for an invoice."

1st off - any reputable seller knows to avoid the $4 max - just use actual weighted shipping and there is no limit. But beyond that - i've seen many listings where it has the above caveat mentioned and have not bidded not knowing ebay's offical position. Does anyone have experience with that scenario?

He didn't change it in the description. He mailed it to me and said if I paid he would refund it. Anyways, I kept all the mails back and forth, and I reported him myself...

He reported me because he thinks my feedback is unfair. This is what I wrote:

"Changes shipping from $25 to $95 after auction ends! Unreasonable and immature."
"People in doubt can contact me for more information. Still got the emails... ;)"

His response:

"I am 100% sure nothing will happen because of your dispute. I am not seeking anything out of my dispute except for the removal of your uncalled for feedback and for threatening future buyers with private messages. Your (sic) being a sore loser over the situation and can not comprehend how much it is to ship a large box to your country. Your being ridiculous."

If he did nothing wrong he wouldn't mind me showing people how he responded to this case.

I'm not worried, I'm just pissed like a motherfucker...

So you paid the invoice of $95? If you did, you might be in trouble dude.

'If' I paid. I didn't... :wink:

I already transferred the money from my bank account to my PayPal account.

Fortunately it takes a few days before it reaches said account. So yeah, no worries there... 8)

Think I'm just gonna make my own pad with real arcade parts one day. Might be a nice little project... ^^

That's what ticks me off in general, the lost ability on some people to use the right 'you're.'

Truth.

I certainly don't rage over it or anything, but any person who mixes those up is gonna have a hard time getting me to take them seriously. Again, it's not that hard...
