After accepting my $500 paypal deposit the seller mandated changes to the auction terms via email. Seller changed the Item Location (pick-up/delivery) from Albany, NY to Plattsburg, NY (150+ mile distance change). Sell demanded immediate balance of payment payoff (auction stated ON or before delivery), then seller opened an unpaid item case against me in ebay, and sent me an email that I had 3 days to payoff and pick-up vehicle in Albany, NY (no address was given)Per seller, vehicle is actually located and titiled in Montreal, canada (also not disclosed in auction). Seller claimed in the auction the vehicle had a CLEAN CARFAX, however when I paid $35 to run a carfax for the vehicles VIN, I found there was a 5 year old/overdue repair recall for the speed control. I tried several times to open a dispute resolution through ebay, and ebay motors, online and by telephone, with no response after 8-10 days. Finally I went to paypal and opened a dspute resolution case and have since elevated it to a claim.
I belive that when the selled mandated changes to the accepted auction terms, he voided the existing contract. I no longer trust this seller. I will not re-negotiate, and I expect a full refund. This seller lacks the integrity that I think ebay expects from its sellers and should at least be put on probation or prohibited from selling on ebay.
I have saved all email communications between myself and the seller, which I would be glad to provide any or all to ebay, ebay motors, or Paypal (if only I knew how or where to upload or foward them). Please share this message with the paypal CLAIMS department.
Sincerly,
J.E.Marquis
