Re: [Chrysler300] EBAY WARNING !!!

[LabLoverDC@xxxxxxx]

I took a look at the auction, and can offer a couple of observations.
 
First, it was a beautiful car--I understand your disappointment.   Second, 
I'm assuming the seller backed out on the deal because you did not pay  in 
full within 3 days?  If so, and considering you were dealing with Sandy,  
that's really awful.  And then, he did not return your deposit?   Shameful.
 
I note the guy's feedback indicates lots and lots of well-satisfied  
customers, yet some extremely dissatisfied ones too.  What's interesting to  me is 
that the auction listing indicates this is a private seller,  he's owned 
this car for a long time, and was involved in all aspects of the  restoration. 
 Yet his feedback screams he is a dealer, as he has sold  scores of cars.  
You might try a complaint with the CA licensing board to  try to get your 
deposit refunded.  
 
Finally, how do you fund your PayPal account?  If it's by credit card,  you 
might try disputing the charge with your credit card company.  If they  
side with you, they will do a chargeback via PayPal to the seller.  We did  
this a few years back on a $6,000 car which was completely misrepresented.   
Our credit card company (AmEx) stood by us and we got the entire amount  
refunded.  It took an eight-page letter documenting everything, but in the  end 
it was worth it.  Anyway, you might try it.  BTW, ebay and PayPal  were 
useless in providing any help, just as they apparently were with you.
 
I think many of us have sympathy for people like you who had to weather  
this terrible storm, and are particularly sorry that it appears you are 
getting  taken advantage of to boot.

Greetings  from Long Island, New York to my fellow Chrysler fans:

I am living in a  disaster area following hurricane Sandy and the nor 
easter that followed  without utilities for two weeks!
Power and phones were not restored until  last Sunday. This is worse than 
Katrina in many regards.

To make things  worse, just following the storms that decimated the coastal 
areas of NY, NJ  and the northeast,
I was beat by the seller (within days of the hurricane)  of the 61 Chrysler 
Windsor noted in the eBay link above as well as my $1,000  paypal deposit.
He had the nerve to demand thousands over my winning bid by  wire transfer 
or to cancel the auction. 
Thereafter this mutt canceled the  sale and failed to return my deposit or 
to return any calls or emails.  

This experience with eBay and paypal is a disgrace and their so-called  
$50,000 buyer protection is a farce as they failed to refund my money despite  
all of their ads and assurances posted throughout those sites.
My faith in  eBay is broken and I warn my fellow collectors to be very 
cautious with on  line purchases and out-of-state sellers.

Shame on the degenerate seller  / dealer that would scam a fellow American, 
especially in the wake of this  disaster that substantially destroyed my 
home and upset my business for many  months to come. Best regards to the rest 
of you who give aid to fellow honest  collectors.
