Complaint Review: Braulio Cotero - COOPER CITY FLORIDA

“Me being 'complicit' in my getting ripped off is your way of attempting to place all of the blame on me.”

Perhaps you need a dictionary. Complicit is defined as an associate or accomplice in wrongdoing.

You failed to provide a link to an eBay web page that supports your claim that motor vehicle sales are exempt from eBay’s policy that prohibit payment transactions from being completed outside of eBay. You evaded that request just as you evaded the request to provide a credible/reliable link that supports your claim that sellers can pay eBay to remove negative feedback.

Now your entire story is questionable. Enjoy your Mustang.

You failed to provide a credible/reliable link that supports your claim that sellers can pay eBay to remove negative feedback. It appears you fabricated that claim.

eBay payment policies state:

Offers to buy and sell outside of eBay policy

To make sure buyers and sellers are fully protected, transactions that started on eBay cannot be completed off our site.

Please provide a link to an eBay web page that supports your claim that motor vehicle sales are exempt from eBay’s policy that prohibit payment transactions from being completed outside of eBay.

Your failure to follow eBay policy makes you complicit in your loss.

You Sir, sound like an eBay Seller.  Do your own research or move on.  I only know what happened to me and my personal conversations (multiple) with eBay Motors and eBay Security and Safety.  Me being "complicit" in my getting ripped off is your way of attempting to place all of the blame on me.  I said I should have had the car inspected, but even the link to have an inspector review the car doesn't include any more than a cursery "look" at the car, mechanical issues are not inspected, so other than a personal test drive, a review would not have found the issues I reported. 

My complaint is about false advertisement, purposefully deceitful discussion with the seller's representative, and underhanded way he cancelled the transaction after I sent him $21,500 and already had the car in order to remove my feedback and ultimately the entire transaction in MyEbay. 

THOSE ARE MY FACTS.  I don't have to prove anything to report on this site a deplorable Seller that eBay obviously supports.

eBay favors the Sellers as that's where they make their money!  Just by doing a little research you'll find numerous articles, posts and blogs from people who have experienced getting ripped off using eBay.  Here's one example of a lady's story and her efforts at exposing eBay Motors for their Seller bias.  Many links and information on eBay's policies here:  https://archive.docsqualitycars.com/feedbackremoval.htm

If you read eBay's own Seller Support Page https://www.ebay.com/help/policies/selling-policies/seller-performance-policy/seller-performance-defect-removal-policy?id=4352, they state they will remove feedback based on certain conditions.  These conditions are exploited by the Sellers to ensure they can maintain 100% even when they bilk the buyers, as in my case.. 

The Seller of my car not only removed by negative feedback, but as of today 9/24/19, the entire transaction has been removed from MyEbay!  I spend $21,500 for a car on eBay and now can't even see the transaction 2 weeks later.  I paid for a car, have possession of the car, and my transaction is gone! EBay has allowed this!  HOW IS THAT FAIR? 

He's done this because he had a You Tube Video of my car and guess what?  ANYONE can comment on a You Tube video, so I did.  On mine and every other video he's posted of cars for sale.  They are now gone.  I will not relent and continue to file complaints with every agency I can so that he has a "mark" and hopefully will be investigated for defrauding people.

I admit I should have had my vehicle inspected.  That is not in dispute.  What is allowed is a listing that states "Follow Seller's Payment Instructions" as mine did.  While I received an invoice it was just for the deposit, and in that email the Seller said "Call this number" and provided wireing instructions.  This is NOT against eBay's policy for Motor Vehicles!!  Rather, this is how most people arrange payment.  This Seller's contained fraudulent information in the description, pictures, and video.  eBay knows it and they allow it.  

My post is to share MY story and warn others about eBay's unfair bias towards Buyers who spend thousands of dollars on vehicles.  Pointing fingers at me is frankly, pointless...

You were cheated because you violated eBay policy by completing the transaction outside of eBay and agreed to purchase a vehicle sight unseen without an inspection or test-drive.

Please provide a credible/reliable link that supports your claim that sellers can pay eBay to remove negative feedback.
