<![CDATA[eBay Problems.]]>I bought a pair of subs off of eBay a while back and they took a long ass time to get to me. I won them at the end of July, and the check I sent was cashed Aug. 8th, but did not receive them until yesterday Sept. 2nd. That really wasn't the problem as how they came was.

This stupid cunt sent the subs in a regular cardboard box with fucking bubble wrap covering the subs. I got the box from the USPS yesterday and it looked like it was thrown down a flight of stairs and spiked on the ground a couple of times. I am going to try and post up some pics of it.

I was really fearing the worst when I saw the box but I brought it inside. Yes the USPS guy left the fucking box outside of my garage door. I opened the box and pulled out the contents. I really only wanted the subs but she sent along the tweeters and midrange and some cheap ass wires.

The subs looked good at first glance but then I notice some ripples in one of the subs. I push down on the cone just a little and the coil is rubbing so I was like "FUCK!!!" I further inspect the sub and see that the basket looks as if the stupid bitch sat on it. It is literally smushed together.

This really fucking angers me because I bought the subs for $50 and paid $31.25 for the shipping of them. I inspect the box and see that shipping only costed $17. It just really bothers me because I know that there is nothing I can really do about it short of traveling to Brooklyn to try and get the money back for them. Which is not going to happen.

Just file a dispute with ebay. I would never pay with a check, since there is very little protection provided. Use paypal with a major credit card, not bank card.
I used PayPal in the past and they got hacked. They got my card # and actually bought something so I don't want to use it again.

I once had to wait 4 months to get a dash for my car. Big mistake not to file a claim there. Here are my best suggestions and tips for secure, safe ebay transactions.

  1. Establish definate contact with buyer/seller before you make a bid/sale.
  2. Strongly suggest using paypal for buying/selling, preferebly with a CC.
  3. Paypal and Ebay have a 30 day limit from the end of the auction for when they can step
    in. If it nears 20 to 25 days, and you still have not receive your item/payment, file a
    claim with paypal regardless of what the buyer/seller promises. This way you keep
    yourself out of shit.
  4. For as little as it might cost, use shipping insurance. Will save your ass in the end.
  5. Check seller/buyer feedback........no matter what!

These are just some basic things to remember and have kept me out of trouble. I had to learn the hard way on a couple of items, but now I know what to look for and when to step in a put my foot down. Good luck to ya.

Negative feedback would be my recomendation to the issue at hand.

I sell alot of stuff on ebay and what i do and alot of other ebay sellers do is charge alot for shipping to avoid the ebay fees. So instead of the item being $50 and shipping $10 it would be the other way around and i would save myself the fees ebay would want for me selling my item for $40 more.Heres a good example of an auction i had this guy set up for me since i wanted some protection that i would get my merchandise. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7996055955
Also you can get there contact info from ebay and maybe try giving the girl a call. I always use paypal for transactions so if something goes wrong i can get my money back from them or my cc company.

Though they were built like a brick shithouse.

Letters type packages all over the floor of the truck stepped on and boxes piled on them. Light little boxes with their 150 pound limit boxes stacked right on top of them. If you want to ship something UPS and make absolutely sure it will end up somewhere in one piece, package your stuff in the box like you are going to drop it off a 50 story building.

Oh yeah, and that sucks dude. For all that extra shipping you paid the dumbass could have packaged that stuff a hell of a lot better and not sent you crap.

That is shitty about the handling stuff though. I ordered an ebay intake for my 92 1.8 eclipse and my buddys 94 prelude si. The prelude intake never ever ever came and the intake for my car had no where for a MAS. Funny thing is that the intake for my car works on the prelude. That is where it is now and he has had no problems from it
