Did Ebay de-list the seller after the complaint or was it present at the time the item was put up for auction?

this was the email ebay send to me.

Hello My name,

Thank you for contacting eBay. My name is Muriel and I am a Customer
Support Representative for eBay's Fraud Prevention Group. I understand
your concern and I will do my best to assist you with your report
regarding item 3480517318.

At this time I have been unable to verify the accuracy of the account
holder's registration information. As a result, the member's ability to
trade on eBay has been suspended until further information can be
obtained.

I would like to review some options that I feel you should pursue based
on the information available to me. Since eBay is not involved in the
actual transaction that takes place, I am unable to directly intervene;
however, I can provide some suggestions that may be of assistance. Some
information about the options I am going to discuss can be found at:

Ebay de-listed them. I would agree that the cc co. is your best bet. Make sure you require a signature on delivery of the screen, just like with the letter.

well if they dont take it i still have proof the i tried to send it back. i just need some proof that i was trying to return the item. so if he doesnt want to take it it all on him. they i guess they will take it up to paypal or take the money from paypal and then paypal will have to deal with the person. Well i just hope this works out for me. i think i will be enclosing a lettery just like sticky suggested, Ill be nice in the letter (im think about that one). Im much happier now that i hear that my CC company is on my side and they seem like they can help me.

Shipping and payment details
Shipping and handling:
Check item description and payment instructions or contact seller for details.
Will ship worldwide.
Seller's payment instructions & return policy:
none
Whoaaaa!

I just reread the original post and the auction listing. The posted payment policy is: none!!! OMG! Did you pay by check? If you did then you are so screwed - Small Claims Court is probably your only recourse. Only pay by credit card, PayPal, or use an Escrow Payment service for Ebay purchases.

Credit card payment. and that none mean that he didnt put notting there. this is what i assumed. because the mean he isnt going to get a payment.

Does anyone live around this place in CA. that can do some recon on this address.

When I read the auction listing, the 1st thing that came to mind is: "this doesn't look right".

If an Ebay listing does not have specifics then it literally means that you wil agree to a purchase that has no terms or conditions and if you have a problem then the seller has no obligation to assist you to resolve it. Ebay/PayPal can say "if the auction doesn't have any policies or conditions listed, then what is it that you want us to enforce?".

I'm not sure that emails to and from the seller, even before the bidding started would have much of a legal standing in assisting you - in the event of a problem.

Here some things that might be helpful
1) Contact a law school in the area, shouldnt be too hard to find one in NYC, there are programs which law students will help you with your case, just call them they will help you with letters and such.
2) If you have to sue him Small Claims Court, you will be sueing him in California not New York but if you win he also has to pay for airline travel and expenses to goto court.
3) Chances are the FBI isnt going to do much for you since it was only $425, a considerable sum to you but not enough for them to do much.
So, definitely get in touch with your credit card company, and if the person you speak to doesnt help ask to talk to his/her manager. Then get in touch with a local law school and get some help from then. Small claims court should be your last option as it is going to be the most inconveinent.

wow. this is craziness. Nootrak, if he lived in chicago I would take my nail studded baseball bat and knock on his door for you but he lives in cali. I had 2 potential frauds using ebay. 1st one was kind of funny when I purchased a harry potter box set. After 2 weeks from the auction I had threatened a law suit and told him if he didn't send, my lawyer would contact his home (a lil white lie since my family's lawyer charges nearly $150/hr if I want to talk to him). This is when he freaked and a week later gave me an email everyday not to sue him. After a month from the auction's end, the person sent it from india although he said he's from NY, and it was filled with the book set in it's original plastic wrap and SAND. I guess that's what they use for packing in india, although it was probably extremely costly to send since the box weighed nearly 50 lbs.

Only 14 feedbacks? I would have gone with someone who had over 100.

Anyways, I'm lucky, my uncle is a lawyer.
