Ebay ordeal.......
23. Aug 2006 at 05:22
 
I purchased 2 games from a seller. Powerblace and Sqoon for $7.48 a few days later I received a package from this seller with 3 games in it. Star Trek Generations, Star Trek 25th, Goal 2.

$7.48 for those 3 games is a good deal.....but I contacted the seller and told him what happened. He accidently shipped me the wrong games (obvisouly). He told me he will fix it when the other buyer contacts him. Its been over a week since then and I still have not received a word from him. What else should I do? I am happy with the other 3 games..I didn't have them.  I am being honest with him by telling him but I'm not pushing the issue...........Advice.

I'd wait for his reply and contact him after two weeks if he did not respond.

Would you like to be the person who bought the Star Trek games & Goal 2 only to receive Powerblade & Sqoon?  Keep pushing.

When I did contact the seller he said that he would have me send the games to the other buyer and he will send me mine then the seller will reimburse me on shipping. Now I have to trust both the seller and the other buyer. I just don't like that.

Yeah, F that.  You should both send your games to the seller & he should reship them.  What if this is all a ploy?  I mean, three people... trust no one.

Yeah, okay, maybe it isn't.  If it were, why would the seller ship you those three games? Tongue

I say check the history and find out who bought those other 3 games and contact them and see if they got your games and go from there.

Sort of the same thing happend to me over a year ago. I bought 4-5 complete NES games from a guy. When i got the package i see that Wrecking Crew is included, but not Donkey Kong, which i originaly bought. I didnt have Wrecking Crew so it was all good. I told him that i got it instead, but it didnt matter. He said sorry and hoped that the other guy who originaly bought WC didnt complain hehe. I just checked his feedback and he didnt recive any negative or neutral feedback around that time so i guess it all worked out fine Smiley

I would just keep what I have and leave it at that.  The games are worth about near the same value, even though the 3 you got are worth a little bit mroe so why bother.  Plus this way you get one extra game to play Wink I would just let the issue drop and not contact the seller anymore.  No way in hell I would ship them off first before you receive the actually games you ordered.

I agree with NGD.  You did the right thing by contacting the seller, but if the seller doesn't want to make the situation right, then that's his problem and not yours.  I'd say contact him one more time, and if he doesn't reply, then don't worry about it.

Then my advice is to sell me Star Trek Next Generation, because that's one of the few games I'm missing.  I'll give you $7.48 for it. Grin

LOL sorry burnabill Grin but I didn't have either one of them either. I don't want the seller to leave me any kind of neg. feedback about me keeping these. But he would be the one losing out having to cover all these shipping costs. I will e-mail him and just let him know I am fine about keeping these. I just don't feel comfortable sending them to the other buyer and worrying about getting my shipping costs covered. Very frusterating

I had something of the same sort happen to me.  I ended up mailing my item to a third party and did get my item.  It's a mess, but it probably really is an accident.  I was grumpy about it for a bit until I realized that it wasn't much money and that people make mistakes.  Ebay buyers have been nice to me as a seller when I've made little mistakes.

If you know the other buyer's feedback, and it is very high, it might be safe.  If it were me, I would feel more comfortable sending it to the seller, though, rather than do a deal outside of eBay.

Thanks for the advice everyone I am goin to contact the seller and see what we can do. I would feel more comfortable sending him the games. BUT I did buy a Zelda promo game off ebay but when I got it, it didn't work the seller told me to send it back and he would send me one that worked.....never heard from him again. Whatever happens happens, its only $7 Undecided.

by the way welcome to the forums Cinder, nice to see new guys around. What kinf of collection do you have?
