What is the name of your state? Alabama
I purchased a motorcycle off ebay last month that was listed as clear title. After paying for the bike and going to pick it up the guy had no title for it. He told me he had just recently payed the bike off with the finance company and he gave me a bill of sale that stated he would have the title to me in a few days. Anyways, its been over a month and I still have no title. I tried calling the guy and emailing him and I got no response so I reported it to ebay(paypal). After paypal decided in my favor he responds to my email stating he needs another 3 weeks to get it. Ebay only gave me $175 dollars back and told me it was my duty to collect the rest. Ebay lists on their site that there is $20,000 worth of insurance so I expected the full amount, over 2000, to be refunded. I know I will never see the money out of this guy even if I take him to small claims court. Everything he has said has been a lie. My only hope is that I can hold ebay liable for this and get the money from them? Im sending a fax to the company he has the bike financed through tomorrow to see if what he says is true, I know it isnt, that he has payed the bike off and is just waiting for the title. What other actions can I take agaisnt this guy. He has cost me a lot of time and money and I would like to pursue any actions I can take agaisnt him to the full extent.
If he listed the bike as clear title and it was not this is fraud, correct? I cant even get a tag for the bike without the title. Ive tried reporting the situation to the police in my state and they say file a report with the police in his state, which the police in his state say file a report with the police in mine. Besides reporting the amount I paid on my credit card company what else can I do? Im very frustrated and tired of this crap. Please help!
