I have a bad scenario Im currently dealing with and figured I would post here also. (Posted this in the Mt yesterday)
This is more of a warning of the seller than anything else.
I purchased this item - http://www.ebay.com/itm/231087137431?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
and here is what I received -

Now what was in the package instead of the Winfield
Yes that's an empty Gum Box. Needless to say I am not very pleased. I have filed a "item not as described" I have been in communications with the seller and claims he packaged it up and has a witness and refutes the claim against him and now claims im a scammer and that I took the card out myself
I have never dealt with anything like this and now have to let ebay decide whether I get my money back or not. To me there is no scenario that could justify the seller accidently packing the empty gum pack instead of the Winfield. This is a blatant scam attempt by the seller and not sure if he has done this before or will do it again. If anyone has dealt with this person before please Pm me. Thanks
I have also spoken to my local post master and apparently they don't record the live weight of the item when you have to sign for it as they put it on the scale when I went to retrieve it and figured they had the live weight. The Packaged weighed 0.7oz altogether and the seller claims it weighed 3.8oz even though the package states 3oz.
I am more than likely going to put in a police report (Last resort) and have spoken to ebay several times. I believe the seller may have sold it off line (Just my speculation) so if anyone sees it posted on another site or see it pop up on a mailday somewhere else please pm me. This piece is bound to show up at some point whether its months from now or a year. Or he could still have it and will eventually list it on another account.
He also insured it. His convos have been up and down and very very defensive (And not just cause I opened a claim towards him). At one point he started to blame the post office for tampering and that he has insurance to cover it. He now has retracted that and went back to "I scammed him". Im going assume he tried to file an insurance claim and they wanted to much info and now realizes he may not win his insurance claim (Again Im not sure just my speculation).
Also his name and address are on the front of the bubble mailer. I absolutely do not want to smear anyone's name thru the mud but to me this was 100% blatant. Even after it was an obvious scam I waited for a response before posting all this. Just wanted to know if anyone has dealt with this guy here.
