I just had to end a dispute over an auction of mine that ended over a month ago and get my Final Value Fee returned. I sold an auction for 2 Marvel Legend chase figures of Doombot and Red Skull. I got one email from the buyer saying he/she would send payment by money order. It never came. I kept sending emails, I did the payment reminder on eBay and they sent emails. No reply. Finally I got sick of it today and just got the money back.
Here is the really crappy thing. I did the "Picture Gallery" for a dollar to better display the figures for auction. I don't get that refunded. I also don't get back the insertion fee. This bastard screwed me out of that money. It may not seem like a lot, but deadbeat screwjobs add up. Plus, I have no cash.
The last deadbeat I dealt with left me retaliatory negative feedback when I did nothing wrong! He refused to pay for RA 1 Mysterio (after winning the auction for $18, then asking if he could have the figure for $10). After I got my money back minus the fees, I gave him negative feedback. So the bastard permanently scarred my eBay feedback rating in retaliation. I just want to do what they did in Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back (fly to his town, hunt him down, and kick his ass!)
Anyways, this angers me. The silver lining of this ordeal is that I can relist the auction and add the rare Hulk with white shirt variant. Hopefully that will recoup my losses and raise the final value.
