My first good Screwing

LMAO - Askforbes, I just saw your feedback. You're about as worthless as a bucket of fried assholes....
 
Hi Joe,

I agree with your assessment and realize that the condition could be a result of climate change and nobody's fault. I also know that this condition should have been disclosed to all potential buyers.

On a seperate note. Was just wondering if you could Pm me with directions to your place. Will be down your way for the Auto Auction on Wednesday. Would love to stop buy and check out some of your stuff. A good starting point would be your old pool hall. Do you take Skip Westons in trade maybe on that Barry Zamboti Snakewood
 
return it for full refund

Please keep us informed of what transpires. I believe you will never be happy with this cue and so you should proceed with PayPal to force the seller to take the cue back for a full refund. If you need any assistance you can PM me or call PayPal, they are very helpful.
Also, did you use a credit card as payment? If so dispute it there as well.

Askforbes - do you have any clue how your buyers feel about you? Following is one of the most incredible stretches of buyer feedback I've ever seen on ebay. Congratulations on recently satisfying three consecutive customers!

I hope others will learn from this incident ...

For me, a combination of "User ID kept private" and multiple recent negative feedbacks is enough to pass on the offering.

All negitive feedback is fairly recent and after the end of the auction for this Skip. I definately dont see a bright future for this Ebay'er. I too would steer clear of anyone with this type of feedback.

There is one simple solution to all this. If the customer is not 100% satisfied with the product you sell them, refund their money and move on. This is called...customer service.

Forbes, if the new Skip cue is in such perfect shape as you describe, refund the money immediately. Should be no reason for anyone to deal with Skip himself and thus no cost.

That's some pretty nasty feedback there buddy.:eek:

You signed your replies with your name all over this thread, so I just picked up from there.

Footnote. You can always counter-sue when you are served. Don't forget who's dirt hit the fan.

:rolleyes:

You might want to PM Brickman for a legal review of the merits of your case.
 
I just read the guys feedback, in the last 2 months alone he's screwed several buyers. I'm a firm believer of "you reap what you sow"....and one day he'll get his just rewards.

Sorry you got taken in by this slimeball bastard.

LOL It's not my place, its Mark Kulungians. But you can stop by in East Windsor and Mark will give you a nice tour of his collection if he is not busy.

He's not going to do anything...he's probably sitting at his keyboard wringing his hands and saying "HAHAHA!!!! I got your money...HAHAHA!!!!".....

Paypal comes Through

Now I have a new problem.

On the second of May I filed a claim for Non-reciept of merchandise with Paypal. As per their rules the seller has 10 days to respond to the claim. The seller never responded and yesterday Paypal awarded me my money back. They said it will appear in my account in 3-5 days.

I recieved the cue on the 12th.

My worry is that my claim is no longer valid. I have this guys cue and probably his money. I am hesitant to send him the cue back incase Paypal does a chargeback on me when he shows them the return reciept.

I don't feel right keeping both but I definately prefer my money to the cue do you fellow AZ'ers have any ideas have any how I could get the cue back to him and make sure I don't end up being the one who's left with nothing when Paypal does a chargeback against my bank account or my Creditcard?

I'd call paypal and discuss it with them.

I know who you can ask. Askforbes.

He's the one with the problem now.:p

Chris

Ps. He probably didn't respond to paypal in time.

I know you wouldn't screw the guy, because you're not like that. but take your time and cover all your bases. Wait until the funds clear your bank account or credit card account before returning the cue. Send it back by trackable source fully insured and require a signature.

I think given this persons history you should use an escrow service or something. Call PayPal for starters. This should not be costing you more money though. It's his fault.
 
signature!

Yes, even though you didn't need to sign to get the cue make sure you require a signature when you send it back. I believe PayPal will emphasize that, because everyones covered with a signature.
 
I'm sorry to hear that somebody got "screwed" in an e-bay deal. Definitely agree with Joe's analysis of the problem with the ferrules on the cue. My first Skip had a little problem like that that I fixed myself. It was simply the cue "acclimating" to the difference in humidity levels. Wasn't a big deal. As far as the finish is concerned, I had some spyder web type cracking on the finish on my first cue from Skip. When we talked about it, he explained that the finish he uses actually cures over a period of time, and, that he had probably put the finish on too thick when he sprayed it, hence the cracking appearance. He refinished the cue at no charge, quite quickly by the way, and I've had no problems over the last two years. The cue still looks like new. I believe that he stands by his product. Not sure what happened between Salamander and Skip, but, that is between them. I'll definitely continue to buy cues from Skip.
 
Just an Update

Well I must say that I have my money and his cue. Have been E-mailing him once a week for the past 3 weeks asking for his return shipping address to no avail. I have inquired with Paypal as to what I should do and asked them for the address. The woman that I spoke with at Paypal she was very clear that as far as they were concerned the case was closed and the cue was mine to do with as I wished.

Today I notice that my feedback is no longer 100%. He left me negitive feedback saying that I falsified a claim. Not true. I waited almost 3 weeks to file and it took Paypal 10 days to decide after that. They basiclly give the seller a 10 day period to prove that the cue was shipped. I recieved my money from them the same day the cue arrived.

In his response to my feed back on him (negitive of course) he states that he has reported my to the police.

At first I wanted to do the right thing and send the man his cue back but I can't do it if he won't give me an address and why should I pay to have it shipped back to this A$$. What would you folks do?
