hi,
thank you all for your replies. i tend to agree with most of you, i cant think of a reason for someone to take amount over bid and send money back, this guy didn't want to do that, he just wanted to probably send me a phony money order, or not send one at all but make his own confirmation letter stating i would receive funds in 7-10 days, my attitude was always then i will ship in 7-10 days.
now for the kicker!!!!! ebay sent me this email this morning:
Please be aware that we have recently cancelled bids for the buyer
noted above due to our inability to confirm his or her contact information
and/or the failure to complete recent transactions. The buyer's
privileges to trade on eBay have been temporarily suspended while we
investigate this matter further.
Our records indicate that this buyer recently attempted to complete a
transaction with you. Since the buyer is not currently registered on the
eBay site, you may consider the transaction null and void if you have
not already shipped the item.
If you have already shipped the item, we advise you to consider taking
the following steps at this time:
1. Contact the company that was used to send payment to verify whether
or not funds have cleared.
2. Contact law enforcement in the area where the buyer lives if you
find that the funds are fraudulent. Be sure to be as specific as possible,
including names, addresses, phone numbers or any other information that
you may have about the buyer. If a detective is assigned to your case,
please ask him or her to contact us so that we can assist in the
investigation.
3. Contact the shipping carrier to determine whether or not it may be
possible to stop shipment on the package.
4. Consider filing a complaint with the Internet Fraud Complaint Center
(IFCC). The IFCC is partnership between the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and the National White Collar Crime Center. The IFCC will review
and evaluate complaints and refer information to the appropriate local,
state, or federal agency. Every complaint that is referred by the IFCC
is sent to one or more law enforcement or regulatory agencies that have
jurisdiction over that matter. You can file a complaint with the IFCC
at:
http://www1.ifccfbi.gov/index.asp
5. If your package was shipped via USPS, you may be able to file a mail
fraud complaint at:
https://www.usps.com/postalinspectors/fraud/MailFraudComplaint.htm
6. In the event that you are not able to receive funds for this sale,
you can file for a credit of your Final Value Fees, provided it has not
been 45 days or more since the auction ended. To request a Final Value
Fee credit, please follow the steps below:
1. Click the "site map" link at the top of any eBay page.
2. On the "Site Map" page, click the link "Request final value fee
credit" under the "Seller Accounts" heading in the middle column.
If you have any concerns or questions about this situation or any other
eBay-related issues you can visit our help system by clicking on "Help"
on the navigation bar at the top of any eBay web page.
