First time I’ve been ripped off

Re: the refund thing, I bought an item from a big auction house which they then shipped to the wrong address. This AH made me wait until they had received a refund from the post office before they would refund me. I thought it was BS and will never bid with them again. You should refund immediately every time.

What AH?

Maybe a couple members will also stop bidding with them.

Some will only bid on their items IF they really want them and MIGHT pass on something not real important.

Most will say that sucks and keep bidding just like before because it didn't happen to them.

I will send you a PM. I'm not looking to derail. It was BS though and I'll never understand why a professional AH would make a buyer wait for them to get a refund before refunding the buyer.

right that classic with deadbeats...if they do the wrong (and are in the business to get customers ) they should be the one waiting to collect not the person that was wronged

Not sure why this refund is taking this long....
I think paypal works 24/7 and banks are certainly open on the East Coast at 1pm if needed.
Super professional.

I got an empty box from an AH. Called them right away, waited 4 months, and then was told I'd need to provide character references before they could refund me. And the guy said "if I refund you're money I'm out the card and the money, right now you're only missing the card, so that seems fairer"
Finally got my money back, never bid with the guy again at any AH he's been to.

Takes a while to build a reputation, but seconds to kill it.
