I won an auction on ebay back in May for a Eumig Servomatic. I got a great deal on it (so I thought) and opted for surface shipping, which I knew would take a few weeks. I was completely ok with that, trusting that it would arrive in about 5-6 weeks. The user, euro-maxx, was very cordial during the transaction and very communicative, moreso than most ebayers, so I felt that I had nothing to worry about. I paid through Paypal.
After ten weeks I started to worry that the package might have been lost in the shuffle between carriers or worse, held up at customs for some reason. I sent the user a nice e-mail asking for a tracking number. No reply.
Now I see that the user has relisted the camera on ebay.uk with the same pictures and description from the May auction!
This is my first time being burned in a transaction. I just finished filing a complaint with ebay, but I have no idea of their track record in handling such cases. I am well aware of the board policy about posting live auctions, but I think it's important that you all know not to deal with this seller. Mods, if I am in violation, I apologize. Please take whatever measures you deem necessary.
I'd like to hear from the rest of you as far as what I'm in for here. Do I have any chance of getting a refund? How long does it usually take to resolve these things? Am I completely out of luck? I'd really like some feedback from those of you who have been through this before.
Thanks for your time,
Patrick
