Wow- The nerve of SOME people these day!
To give you some background, i have an older,ok, really old iPod thats dying.. My hubby decided that for my birthday, he'd get me a new one.. He went to the Apple store and lost his patience waiting for someone to help.. He decided to scour ebay to see what was available. He managed to find a nice 60g classic, that was advertised as "new, Apple Warranty" etc.. I think you see where this is going.. Checked out his feedback BEFORE we purchased it, and it was 100% as a seller! Checked out his feedback BEFORE we purchased it, and it was 100% as a seller!
He does the "buy it now".. a week later, it arrives. Works perfectly. But there were 2 accessories that were missing. Contacted the seller, who gave a little attitude, but then realized, whoops, and sent us the stuff..
And then, it all went down hill..We started having some problems with it.. but nothing out of the ordinary, per the iPod websites we've found. Then, one day, nothing. zero. wouldn't turn on.. dead. Period. We contacted the seller to find out whats up with this! Its supposed to be new! he doesn't answer us for 3 days. I want a refund, he wants us to return it.. Apple doesn't have any info on the serial number of this item. Now, I'm panicking. Go and try to file a complaint with Ebay, they say its PASSED the 45 day limit.. Um? I haven't had it for 45 days! WTF! Whats worse, is they said we had to file by X date.. which happened to be the date it died.. the seller didn't get back to us for 3 days after! Paypal wouldn't help us either!
We shipped it back to the seller, registered, insured etc.. He received it back on June 3rd. We've heard NOTHING from him. ZERO. We've emailed, called, everything. He's got our $250.00 and we have nothing. We also found out that this guy sold someone else a bad iPod and won't do anything for him either..
I'm angry. This guy put up a fraudulent auction and no one will help us out.. We also did some digging and found out that he bought a TON of iPod parts! So it does "seem" like he's buying ipod "parts" and manufacturing iPods! Everything from cases, to hard drives, screens, you name it!
GRR!!
