Additional Comments:
I was trying to do a friend a favor and got mixed up with this freak. He has the nerve to 'issue a refund' that PayPal can't seem to recover because there is NO MONEY in the account. Thief and a liar. Stay FAR away.

See Below:


so then we talk over email-

Hi Nick,

I have not received a tracking number from you as promised, and it appears
that you didn't end the auction. In fact it looks as if someone won it.
Please advise.

Thanks,


Terita Murphy


a day goes by, no package and no email. I went so far as to call the UPS stores in his area, and they were all open as usual for business, so I go to Paypal and file a dispute...and this is the response:

anyone else peep the blatant lie? I escalated to a claim and got this email from PayPal today:

From:
Subject: Resolution of Buyer Complaint Case # PP-436-261-677
Date: March 26, 2008 10:10:11 AM EDT
To:

Dear Terita Murphy,

After careful review, we have concluded our investigation of the Buyer
Complaint described below.

We have decided in your favor, however, we were unable to recover any funds
from the seller's account. As stated in the PayPal User Agreement, recovery
of funds associated with a Buyer Complaint cannot be guaranteed.

Please know that we will make our best effort to recover the funds in
question if they become available in the seller's account in the future and
will take appropriate action against the seller. Such action may include
issuing a warning, a temporary restriction, or terminating the account.
Keep in mind that PayPal uses a number of factors to determine when to take
action, including member complaints. Due to privacy laws, we cannot discuss
the details of any action taken. We hope you understand our policy and that
it assures you that you are safe using PayPal.


so friends, as it turns out, no good deed goes unpunished. stay far away from this dude he is a scam artist.

Sorry you had this problem... very unfortunate.

Buyers Beware, don't do business with anyone on THIS site or ANY site with ONE post.
Always ask for eBay or other reference if they have low posting here.

this is very true, unfortunately I live on the planet where people are honest and above board. unfortunately I seem to live there alone.

I'm there too ... been burned a few times ... currently fighting $100 paypal issue now.

You're getting your equipment from the wrong people.

what makes it so bad is, after all this, come to find out, my boy went into the t-mobile store and bought a curve. so I was going to end up stuck with an extra phone anyways.

Boy, that really bites. Sorry you went thru all that.

And didn't eBay just change their policy so that you are not able to leave bad feedback for a seller? Or is that no more bad feedback for a buyer?

really, did they? What is the point of feedback, then?

Huh wuh who when? Not that I know of ...

Starts in May:

ABC News: Not Sold! eBay Boycott Kills Traffic

As part of this article:
"As of May, sellers will no longer be able to leave negative feedback comments for buyers. "

Terita - Did you pay via credit card? If so, have your credit card company dispute this for you.

I have not heard of any such eBay policy change. Here is the text from their policy:

Feedback

Obviously, feedback would be worthless if either party were precluded from leaving a negative.

TeritaM - in my experience buying and selling on both eBay and Craigslist, I have found that most people are pretty honest. However, there are a decent number of dishonest people that really make me think twice before buying anything on either site. Although hindsight is always 20/20, the seller in this case had only 1 post on BBF, and had zero feedback on eBay. Call me a pessimist, but I would never have bought from this guy. I realize that anybody new to eBay is going to start with zero feedback, and most of those new people are going to be honest. I just don't want to be the one to test that out.

I hope PayPal is able to get some of your cash back for you. Good luck!

wow; thanks.

YES HAVE YOUR CREDIT CARD COMPANY DISPUTE FOR YOU. That is what I am doing.

We posted at the same time (above), so I guess the info that I linked to is soon to be outdated.

This is absolutely unbelievable!! I guess feedback will soon be worthless as against buyers.

i never do business with anyone on eBay with fewer than 2 dozen positive reviews to every 1 negative. that seller has 0 feedback, and now i am guessing will cancel that ID (with the negative feedback) and create another.

yeah juuwack, I called my credit card company and they are disputing it. I don't have to pay that portion of my bill (so far). its just the point though, why scam anyone? my own fault for thinking other people are like me. I think I'm officially over ebay/paypal.

Sorry to here that. was this the same friend i was talking to who was looking at the 8800 also? Yeah i sell things on ebay but rarely buy anything. The reason being i only trust myself.

I am always suspect of sellers on here whom are new and Have prices to good to be true

Though I was able to get an 8800 for great deal at 125.00 was in awesome shape to!!!

yeah, mel. I called him after I sent the paypal and he was all "yeah I just ended up going to the store and buying one." He told me you two spoke. I should have left it alone. trying to be helpful and got burned.

eBay and Paypal are getting greedier everyday, and providing less services and protections to both sellers and buyers.

What's the point to have seller or buyers protections even we follow all the guidelines they asked? I though the protection is like a insurance that paypal provides for its users like the insurance that AAA has its policy holders. It is total BS that "we can't recover the fund from the seller..."

Better use credit card to purchase anything now, even thru paypal. Paypal is useless POS in this kind of matter.
