If this guy is still selling on ebay start harrasing his bidders.
Even though you didn't technically go through ebay.

Excellant idea I'll be sure to do that!

Great idea man. I will start doing that if this whole thing doesn't get resolved. I am hoping for the best.

Hey Guys just an update on my problem. I reported him to Paypal, they did nothing. I reported him to e-bay, they did nothing. He reported me to e-bay because I started e-mailing his customers. I will probally loose my account but oh well hopefully I saved somebody the pain of getting ripped off. It's with the credit card company now and hopefuly they will do something. By the way, the guys e-bay account is CWP911. Spread the word.

Dons986 If I got taken for $300.00 this guy would be locking his house at night. It would be worth it for $300.00 of my money to meet this m.f. in person.

I charge everything on my Amex platinum. I got taken for $6,000 when I paid with Paypal and they would not help me so I called Amex and got my money back in 5 minutes. Screw Paypal. I will only call Amex in the future with any problems.

P.S. I use my Amex exclusively. If a place doesn't accept it then I do not shop there! I am a loyal Amex customer.

I got taken on Ebay for $23,000

Yes, that's right. My Boxster. It took a 3 month FBI hunt to finally get the car after I bought it directly through Ebay, and then another 4 months of lawsuit to actually get the title in my name.

Oh, and in the meantime, he had taken the Porsche offroading, resulting in over $4,000 of damage. There's still some problems with it that I will never be able to fix.

Ebay wouldn't help me, my insurance company and loan companies wouldn't even help me.

I lost a lot of faith in "consumer" help resources with this ordeal.

::sigh::

It was the same thing...over 300 positive car sales, it just happened that when I bought the car from this dealership, they decided to fraud their loan companies, and default on all the payments. It was a hellish 6 months for me trying to A) get my money back or B) get the car I supposedly bought.

You CAN buy a car on EBAY and not lose your shirt. However, the way to do this is to find a car and a seller on there that you can check out in person or through a trusted agent.

Otherwise, it is a crap shoot. Emphasis on crap, huh?

I have sold several cars by listing on EBAY and having a local or regional buyer show up to buy the car in person. That way, I won and they won.
