I am at a loss for what to do. Heres my story: About a month ago I listed a collectible Budweiser sign on ebay. I had a buyer ask several questions about it as well as several other people. He said he would like to call me to ask more questions, NO problem. What he wanted to ask me to end the item on ebay and offered me a lesser price and asked me to go thru aypal becasue he wanted "to save me money". I said no, if the item doesnt sell i may consider it but not while it is a current listing. I earned TRS status in less than three months and didnt wanna damage it over one transaction. The item was something i was selling for someone else and any flaws were stated and pictured in the listing. Immediately upon the ending of the item not selling within mins i had 5 tesxxt messages fom this man. He was extremely pushy almost demanding the light. I said not for that price. After almost a week of text calls and emails I finally told him i would sell it for 450.00 plus half of shipping but that i was due to be inducd in a few days and to not rush paying bc it would be over a week before I could even mess with it. I continually recived text and calls while i was in the hospital and upon my arrival home. He asked for me to please wrap the light in blankets as wel as have it packed to add extra padding. DONE, no problem. Once this was done he still text me everyday about this flippin thing even though he had a tracking number. On saturday he recieved it and sent me a picture of a broken light. Very minimal damage. He caled fed ex yet didnt file the insurance claim for the light. He did not want to purchase the add. ins so FE automatically insures for 100.00. I kept asking him if the broken peice was in the box or could it have been broken at the packing store. He demanded me to contact the shipper which I did and they took no responsibility. He also said the peice was missing. A very small peicxe i might add. I asked him to email the pics to me instead of texting them. He provide add pics and the peice was laying right next to the light. This man has called texted emailed and cussed me and im sick of it. I offered him to ship it back but he wont and he keeps threatening a disput and demanding me refund half the price for the 2*3 inch damage, I emaile the pics to a sign co and it is an 85.00 fix. At the most 123.00. I offered him 150.00, 100 of the fedex claim, and 50 outta pocket. He still demand the 200. He has yelled at me and berated me and will not leave me alone. Im tired of to the point i dont even answer him anymore. I have done everything i can think of. He continues to tell me he found the same light for half the price. I think he broke it. Hes already blamed the shipping company saying they only packed it in paper. They state it was airpacked. Then he blamed fe ex, and they did in fact take a claim. Now hes blamingme for not insuring it for 450 . I really fel the pics are not of the light I sent him and that hes pulling a scam, or that he is scamming me out of money. All this and he hasnt filed a dispute nor did he file the claim whe he called fedex. Im tired of dealing with him. He badgered me from the start and I should have known something was up when he asked me to go thru paypal and noit ebay. Since the item was ended i did go thru paypal and this was the first time i had done that. He also made the payment thru a friends paypal account and not his own and had them change their address. Anybody out there have any suggestions at all for what to do????
