I have been an eBay member and fan since 2001. I have always enjoyed the selection and
great values offered.
Recently, I was defrauded on eBay by a Seller, and could not obtain reasonable assistance or mitigation by eBay. Thus I am trying to warn everyone by posting on RipOff Reports (What a great site!)
I mailed check for $1,340.00 (Price for 2 robotic units + freight) Seller cashed check drawn on my bank. The check posted to my account as cleared on 12/19/2012.
When I talked with the Seller several months ago, he seemed honest and reliable... the lack of delivery and discommunication has changed my mind. I have left a dozen voice messages and sent various emails via the eBay system. He continues to list on eBay, but will not return my calls or
emails.
Here is a copy of his current listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/White-Box-Robotics-914-PC-BOT-Development-Platform-He-Robot-Heathkit-HERO-2-/190775833906?_trksid=p5197.m1992&_trkparms=aid%3D111000%26algo%3DREC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D14135%26meid%3D5384785174480802926%26pid%3D100015%26prg%3D1085%26rk%3D1%26sd%3D190775833906%26
To me, this appears to be a case of grand theft. I have been a solid eBay member for a very long time. This is the first time I was completely ripped off. He cashed my check and I have nothing but thin air!
As of this posting, eBay continues to allow the Seller to advertise and operate. How is this possible?
