What is the name of your state? I reside in NY and the ebay seller resides in IL...
I won an auction on ebay for 3 bracelets (rubber wristbands) and sent $21 money order as instructed. I paid $2 per bracelet for shipping and $5 each for the bracelets. Approximately 3 weeks later I received a white #10 envelope that was ripped, a receipt for my $21 from the seller and no bracelets. The seller had affixed a mere $.74 postage and pocketed the rest of my shipping fees. Needless to say I was outraged. After paying $6 postage I assummed that they would be shipped in a secure package!!! I contacted seller via email numerous times and finally received a reply stating that she would refund my money. After waiting agaan, no refund received. I emailed seller many times regarding the refund and she did reply to my emails. During this time seller continued to receive negative feedbacks from other buyers for similar problems and I knew I would never see my money again. I filed a complaint with ebay and conversed with seller a few more times via that forum. I tried to file charges thru US Postal Svc. (no luck) IL Attorney General (no luck). While still in dispute with ebay, seller unregisterd her name with ebay. (Either her doing or ebays, they wont say)
Seller now states she is filing suit against me for harrassment !!! Can she do this ??? I received negative feedback from her and was contacted by a few others involved with bidding with her and I did tell them that I had been ripped off and they should be careful. Can she say this was harrassment that I spoke to others about my bad deal??? Can my numerous emails with her be interpreted as harrassment????
I would appreciate anyones insight on this matter
P.S. One of my last postings to ebay dispute center was a reponse stating that I realize my $21 will never be seen again and I wished her well in her future dealings...I thought I was being nice about it...
Thanks !
