Find a store, man. Stores sell sweatshirts.


Plus, you can take the item home with you. Or (get ready for your mind to be completely blown apart) you can even wear it on your WAY home!

I'm sure they could arrange for it to be shipped 6 day ground if you're into that, though.

Telling or threatening to leave negative feedback in a seller dispute is a no no. The seller can use that against you to have your feedback removed.

Having said that, just open a case. eBay pretty much finds for the buyer in every seller dispute. You will get your money back, and shipping, and likely not have to return the item at all.

Easy solution. I do a lot of transactions on eBay and for some big ticket items. Finally ran into a screwball last month. Same situation. I opened a case on eBay and they resolved it quickly. I got a complete refund.

Seriously, when are you going to stop buying things online?

You should seriously only conduct business face to face for the foreseeable future.

At some point, when does this become a "you" problem?

On the bright side, at least the package got to you!

He could probably even go to the store, buy the sweatshirt, and then have them ship it to a random address, just to make it feel more like normal.

Excellent these posts are.

Actually what I specifically said was "I don't want to leave negative feedback and open a case." Don't know if that is still considered a threat.

If you used the word Feedback, and you leave him a negative, he will likely try to get out of it. Best to say things which get the message through and yet doesn't explicitly spell out negative feedback.

"Unless you give me a full refund, I won't be happy with this transaction" :smile:

Just do Craigslist from now on, then at least you only have to worry about that pesky Craigslist Killer.

I just bought a USMNT home jersey off of EBay for $89.99, nowhere else is selling the "Where's Waldo" looking jersey and the guy jacked the price up to over $218. Instead of charging my account $89.99 before the sale was final, he wanted to charge the $218. Lucky after a angry phone call, he let me cancel my order because it didn't ship yet.

That's shady. I won a Lego set they don't make anymore for $239. I got a message they listed the wrong item and they refunded my money. 2 days later the same seller had that same set listed for $319. Not much you can do about it though...

JUST SENT TO ME BY SELLER:

"yeah but i do not accept them. and i will not take it back. i spent 6 dollars out of my own damn pocket to ship this. now i might as well burn the god damn shirt. its just going to keep robbing me of money. i dont pay 6 dollars so you can look at it and decide if you want. you know what you got and you got exactly that. sell it yourself. i am not taking a loss of 6 dollars on this. you need to pay the shipping back to me and 6 dollars extra for what i paid to get this to you. you are scum. i hate you"

First of all I paid $7.69 for shipping, when it cost only $5.80. This guy is something else. Hok fan probably

This is making my day
