Just there is some disconnect here.
I get so much good merchandise and great service at terrific prices on ebay. I couldn't afford to ride nice bikes without ebay. I'm sorry OP is not having the same experience.
Well, the Seller just sent me an email saying I couldn't leave negative feedback because he had already spoken to his ebay rep.
I think the disconnect here is that my expectation from what I read was the Paypal transaction would clear immediately, and from I see from Pay pal and my bank it did, and that the item would be received in 2-5 business days.
From his side, he's saying Paypal didn't release the money to him. I can see his concern.
Why I'm pissed is that between the Seller, EBay, and Paypal, they created an expectation that they did not deliver on, and then just blew me off basically saying, funds haven't cleared, yu'll get it when you get it.
I'll gladly pay Competitive Cyclist 15% more to avoid this crap, get what I want when I want, and have a reasonable human being to discuss any problem with.
