I got scammed!

This seller "moparyard" scammed me out of $64.25 for a set of '73 Charger rear rolldown windows. :'(
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4552215424
I paid for them, but never received them.   He did send me an email saying that the Post Office returned them to him because of impropper packaging.   That was the last I heard of him!
Does anyone know of this seller on ebay?
I would like to contact him :flame:

THE COLONEL

I'm surprised.  His feedback is 100%.  Do you still have the emails from him when the auction was finished?  Sometimes th ephone number is included in the auctions you win.

If you won them for $20.00, how did the total come up to $64.25? 
They could be shipped just about anywhere in the U.S. for $15.00 to $20.00.
Just curious.

 ::) ::) look at the end of auction  date. May 28th. assuming it was paid for  promptly, you are SOL with paypal. with PP, you have to file the non- receipt within 30 days of making a payment. you also are beyond 90 days, so you cant even leave this person the negative feedback that
they do apparently deserve.
lesson #1 no matter what SOB story you get from a seller on a non received item, file the PP non receipt on day 29 to cover your best interests.
lesson #2 if you still havent got an item by day 89, you arent going to get it, leave the negative feedback.

That's what you think... however, in the real world it doesn't work that way.

Sorry you didn't get it doctorpimp. It does seem odd. Wasn't there any other contact info with your receipt? How did you send the payment? Looks like "smasherofall" sold him something. Wonder if it's the same one that's here?

Sarcasm detector, that's a real good invention.

Thanks everyone for your feedback.
I paid $20 for the windows and $44.25 for EXPRESS shipping (I live in Canada.)
I will try to get his contact info and call him.  I just came back on leave from Afghanistan and expected to see my new windows waiting for me (they were low on my priority list for topics of discussion with my wife) I had actually forgotten about them until now (I had more important business on my mind in the last couple of months.)

Like I said, I was overseas with Operation Enduring Freedom.
I paid with PayPal, but it is too late to get the money back.
I'm just wondering if he's a member here.
I think on one of his emails he had a link for http://www.dodge-chargeronline.com/
Not too sure though.
My laptop is still in the 'stan with my email history on it.

Silver RTis right up until a certain dollar amount which his falls under I think its $1000, not sure but it looks like he may be over the time limit. My wife has bought alot of stuff on ebay and has had several accounts where item was not recieved. By using paypal she had no problem getting her money back but it just took a little while

Ya still got the facts wrong there high-o-silver. with paypal, the time limitation is 30 days.  Just because somone files a non-receipt claim, doesn`t mean that they automatically  get their money back. all the seller has to do is provide a tracking number , thus the importance that all sellers get tracking #`s on all packages that they send. (which can be a pain in the arse-expensive- on international shipments)  Also, the money wont be refunded if the seller doesnt have the funds in his/her paypal account.

I think you guys are not understanding that he wants to find the guy that sold him the parts.   Instead you guys keep arguing about wether or not he can get his money back.   Sorry guys, I do not mean to bust your chops about it. :)

Is he possibly Gandalf-the-grey on this site? ???

twilt

i  think gandalf-the-grey  does live in leasburg, NC  which is the listed location of this seller.  However, that is not the ebay user ID that i am familiar with him using. here is a ebay link for gandalf when he sold his 72 power bulge hood.

BTW, looks like paypal  (NOT EBAY)  has made a change to their policy. a claim has to be be filed within 45 days, it used to be 30.

ChargerSG

On Ebay there is 60 days to file a "non resived item", but i had a 91 days and they still helpt me and started "jumping" the seller and then the seller mailed me and was soo nice(but i got refaund insted of the items). So Mail Ebay and say that you havent resived the item and that the seller dont answear your mail, im sure they help you out....

I thought it was worth a try to give him neg feedback, and it worked.
I did report him to eBay and I got contact info for him.  The big problem is that he'll prob ignore my calls too.
So, no one knows this guy?
