Pre order rip off, how do I deal with it.

Ninjas are always a great back-up plan. You can never truly be the loser if your Ninjas get called to correct the situation.

I used to pre order loads of figures from ebay with abc express. Luckily they always sent my orders on time and it was always great service from them. Nowadays there's not much point with how many figures hot toys make, even the best have a hard time selling out well after release.

Yeah, you should never go straight for the nuclear option, but it's always nice to know you have it if you happen to run out of charcoal briquettes.

I bought a figure through paypal...not ebay...and I accidentally sent the money as a gift (I usually send it as "goods" even if the instructions say send it as a "gift" as there are no ebay charges as the sellers like, but you leave the door open more readily for a dispute if that becomes necessary). I called ebay about it at 42 days and they opened a dispute for me and gave the seller 10 days (iirc) to respond. 5 days later, I had the figure.

So you bought a figure NOT on ebay and when you got screwed ebay came in and helped you?

I'm a little confused.

Oops...my mistake...I bought it through Paypal, not Ebay, and when I was certain that I would not get the figure, I called Paypal about it. And even though I sent the money as a gift, they helped me and I got the figure.

just curious, how was this sellers feedback before you POed from him?
to be honest, i'm cautious of POing in ebay but i asked around in forums and took notes of trusted ones.

Well guys just got off the phone to my bank an the money should be back in my account in ten days time. They will also try to contact the company for further information about the transaction etc. Well I thought that money was gone and he had won playing dirty with my and probably other peoples hard earned cash.

 

[Darth Cruel]

Congratulations! I am glad that worked out!
