EBAY SELLER SAGA pt 4





Just a quick update. I received a personal check from the seller yesterday 6/11/2009.
Not really what I want him to do but whatever.... all I want is to get refunded. I hope the check will not bounce that's the last thing I want to happened. Wish me luck....

EBAY SELLER SAGA pt 3







So yeah, I returned the item to the seller and after 3 or 4 days I received an e-mail from him...

JUST RECEIVED THE PURSE. I CANNOT REFUND ANY MONEY BECAUSE YOU DID NOT
RETURN THE AUTHENTICITY SLIP THAT WAS WRAPPED AROUND THE HANDLE. SEND THAT
TO ME AND I WILL GLADLY REFUND ...

So I replied to him "the you so called authenticity card that wrapped around the handle was in there." I returned it together with the purse and dust bag. I even took pictures of it the night before I went to the post office and on the day when I was in the post office. I took pictures of the purse showing the authenticity tag, the dust bag and before I put the purse inside the mail box because I know this is coming. So don't tell me it's not in there. Not even 2 minutes I received another e-mail from the seller saying...

the authenticity slip that was wrapped around the handle is not in the
purse. i turned it inside out and no slip. anyway i will refund to you minus the
restocking fee.

He changed his mind that fast, now he said he will refund me but still insisted that the slip (or the authenticity card) wasn't there. I told him , it's funny because it was there when I handed it to the post man so are you trying to say that somebody from the post office open the box, stole the authenticity card or slip and left the purse and the dust bag hhmmm that's weird. I also copy and paste his add and told him that all I'm seeing was " money back if not entirely satisfied" I didn't see anything about re-stocking fee. That's a false advertisement you know.
He replied...

I HAVE ALREADY PUT A CHECK IN THE MAIL FOR YOU,WHICH YOU SHOULD
RECEIVE BY WED. OR THURS. PLEASE DO NOT WORRY....IT'S AUTHENTIC

I was furious because I never ask him to send me a check and second I told him at this point who cares about the purse if it's authentic or not you have it already and all I care is my refund. I have a feeling that he didn't send any check and his excuse would be " O I mailed it it's not my fault anymore." Will see, I told him we're not talking $5 here we're talking almost $400 and I did not pick up money from the street or from trees and I'm going to fight for it.
The seller e-mailed me and told me that " I am a distrusting lady". I said to my self why would I trust your words when you lied to me about saying that the authenticyt slip is not there. I hate people who are deceiver and lier!

I am documenting everything and I did...

I will keep you posted....

EBAY SELLER SAGA ! pt2







Yes, I contacted the seller telling him that I am going to return the item. He wasn't happy at all and insisted the the purse was authentic. I told him that per your add " money back if not entirely satisfied" so that's why I'm returning it to you.
Then he said return the purse to this address:


IF YOU HAVE THE AUTHENTICITY BAND WITH THE BAG AND YOU DECIDE TO SEND IT
BACK....SEND IT TO....MYHOPE...45 LAFAYETTE RD. #250 NORTH HAMPTON,N.H. 03862
.

I have that what he so called authenticity band but what makes me wonder was, when I received the package the address was CA not NH. So I searched the address that he gave me and it shows me these websites :

http://www.angelsdistinctivediscountdesignerhandbags.com/

http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/387/RipOff0387806.htm

http://forum.purseblog.com/authenticate-this/help-www-angelsdistinctivediscountdesignerhandbags-com-sold-me-fake-lv-339743.html

And when I checked back the sellers profile he did put that he has been doing business with that company. And so I sent an e-mail to the seller asking him why in NH when your address is CA? Then he replied....

YES...SEND IT TO THE ADDRESS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. THEY ARE AN OFFICIAL
CERTIFIED DISTRIBUTOR OF BURBERRY HANDBAGS. THEY WILL BE HAPPY TO KNOW
THAT THEIR AUTHENTIC HANDBAG IS NOT AUTHENTIC. BILL MCCONNELL

I already made it clear to him that per his add " money back if not entirely satisfied" and I didn't' mention to him that I returned the purse because I myself found out that it's not authentic, I wasn't very happy with the purse plain and simple.
So I mailed back the purse to the seller, complete dust bag and the tag or the he so called authenticity band. And I noticed that in his e-mails to me he keep mentioning return the purse with the authenticity band which I already mentioned to him that I have it but what I'm asking was the authenticity card that he mentioned to his add. As far as I know there is a difference between authenticity card and a tag ( he called that authenticity band).

Just an FYI, I contacted my credit card company and per our conversation I should give the seller time to refund me and if he doesn't cooperate then that's the time I open a dispute with them...

Anyway, I will keep you posted..

E-BAY SELLER SAGA !! part 1










Yes I did it again! I bought an item in e-bay and paid it right away. Actually the item was on
" buy it now or best offer". I tried to give my best offer starting from $50 off the asking price until I reach the maximum. I really like the item I thought it was a good gift for my self. I contacted the seller asking if he would accept $___ for the item. We sent e-mails back and forth trying to figure out what should I do since I reached the maximum for best offer option. Then he sent me another e-mail : I copy and paste his message....

OK...YOU WILL HAVE TO TRUST ME ON THIS. I HAVE A 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK AND
I AM NOT GOING TO JEAPORDIZE ITIN ANY WAYWHAT YOU DO IS TO PAY THE FULL AMOUNT
OF $377.00. THAT WAY THE ITEM IS SOLD AND THE MONEY IS IN MY ACCOUNT.
IMMEDIATELY AFTER IT IS O.K'D I WILL GET ON PAYPAL AND REFUND YOU THE $17.00.
THAT WAY YOU ARE GETTING THE BAG FOR WHAT YOU WANTED IT. GO FOR IT.




So I did click the buy it now and not even 5 minutes I got a $17 refund from the seller. I was impress. I was very excited for the item and it finally arrived after 3 days of waiting. I ripped the box right away and was shaking when I saw the item. I paid almost $400 for this and I wasn't impressed. I also noticed that in his add it says this purse comes with a dust bag and authenticity card but there is no authenticity card but a tag. I contacted the seller asking for the card and he replied



HI. TYHANKS FOR YOUR COMCERN. I HOPE YOU DID NOT CUT THE PLASTIC BAND IFF
THE HANDLE AND THROW IT AWAY. THAT WAS YOUR AUTHENTICITY CARD FOR THAT BAG. THE
NUMBERS ON THE TAG CAN BE VERIFIED AS A AUTHENTIC BAG. THANKS AGAIN FOR YOU
PATRONAGE.



Yes the tag was there but as far as I know Authenticity card and tag is different. One reason why I go ahead and bought the purse is that in his add he said authenticity card inlcuded but like I said there's no authenticity card only tag. I showed it to some of my friends and they said this purse is not real, it's a replica. But hey, I said to my self you are not a purse specialist so what do you know.

I contacted the seller I told him the reason why I did not leave you a feedback yet is because 3 of my friends told me that the purse is not real. Then I was thinking, I don't want to pay this much and then I am not impressed and have doubts with the purse. I really felt bad to be honest I expected too much for the purse but it didn't turned out the way I expected it to be. I contacted the seller again and told him that I am going to return the item.



I will keep you posted for the update of this....I have a feeling that this is going to be a long process whether I get refunded or not, that I don't know. I'll post any updates here in my blog so that other e-bay users will be aware...
