i was wandering if i could report him directly to the copyright authorities

[Carlos_E]

How did you make payment? Did he give you an address? If so find someone on the board in his area and ask them to pay him a visit.

[Mizfit]

i will visit him and put a hex on his ASS

I got screwed on ebay also. I ordered 5 Xbox 360's and paid in advance, and only one came in. I was planning on reselling the others and making a killing. I filed complaints with ebay, paypal, etc.. One of my friends in the HW patrol owed me a favor and found his unlisted phone # and his addresses for me. I had my attorney send him a letter, and the next week I made him aware that I knew where he worked, where he lived, etcc.

The next day my money was refunded via paypal.

my brother has a punk freind who does this crap, he waits for somebody to pay him and then he'll just send them a box to what they ordered or nothing at all. He did it w/ an xbox one time too, some guy right before xmas had sent him like $800 so he could get it for his kidsa, and this little 13 yr old ****er screwed him .I wish my brother would choose his freinds better

If you paid with pay pal. You can go to their site and simply stop payment with in 45 days. If you paid with visa you can call bank and do a Fraud stop payment. Simple as A B C.

[Prada]

What was his feedback like before you ordered? What percentage?

[Oki-Des]

While ebay may help you get your money back, I doubt they are going to be too concerned with the copyright issue. This is where you could get him into serious trouble. First look on the internet and find the production company of the movies you wanted to buy. Then contact them directly. Someone will direct you to the proper person. I wouldnt report it to ebay, because they may send him a threatening letter and he might stop. It would be best if someone from the production company were able to buy one as well. Then he may face prison time and up to I think a $500,000 fine. I love ruining butt holes lives! Good Luck!

[Doc.Sust]

report him and than go launch a dumbell at him! why not both!

[Big Broker 1]

thats sucks bro...i would do like Oki-Des said and i would also try to find his address

[JohnboyF]

Do the address i order the ronnie colman dvd and pumping iron and got burned. BOth were copied and the ronnie coleman one was terrible. You can report it to ebay but they do jack.. Go with the Dumbell.

The guy i ordered from was from the Uk i think.

[steve0]

hmmm i have never had any problems with ebay, i bought my jeep of ebay in March with no issues, and i bought a watch also, you gotta check the sellers feedback comments guys !!!

[novicenovicen]

beat his ass, and then send the dvd's to MGM!

[SVTMuscle*]

Wow, never have I thought that the FBI warning at the beginning of movies would be useful haha. Call that number!

[zimmy]

i will visit him and put a hex on his ASS

lol in that case... I think he lives in texas :P

[firmechicano831]

I try to look at the feed back and make sure there located in the U.S. One more thing to check for is their history, you don't want to do any business with someone that just started selling.

[G-Force]

it actually tunred out to be a her that i was abusing and swearing at the whole time - never mind she deserved it

i reported it to paypal and they are dealing with it

i told her unless she gives me a full refund i'll report her to the police too

she said she would refund the money IF i aplogised for my threatening behaviour

to which i replied "go f*ck your self - i have paypal/ ebay/ and the police dealing with you now"

[MAXIMA5]

Good job. Way to hold your ground after she played the "I'm just a female" card.

They all want equal rights untill they f*ck up, then it's "No, I can't be in a jail with men."

im in the same situation but i havent gotten my shit yet....i ordered a dvd from this guy who had 94% positive feedback, i just glanced and figured it was fine...so i buy it and then it says he only takes money orders (i later realized he does this to avoid paypal security) .....anyway though, i send him money order but i checked his feedback later that nite and it was like 10 negatives on the first page and 5 positive ones. its like he use to do good business but nows hes just ****ing people over. all these people saying he sent them bootleg dvds, or the dvd was cracked....also, he stated he doesnt leave feedback until u leave it for him......so basically once he sends u a copied dvd, and u leave him negative feedback, he leaves negative feedback for u, something like "this guy never sent money, sellers beware"....its still too early being i just sent money order on wednesday, and even though its not even $20 i sent, ill be using oki's strategy above if he sends me some bullshit......by the way if anybody wants to check him out, his name is " independantgames " look at the feedback he puts for people when they leave him negative feedback, its a joke.... i dont get how ebay doesnt ban him

ebay used to be a great site, but it has really gone to sh*t the past few years. more and more businesses are flooding it with ridiculous prices that you could get in a local retail store, only without the extra shipping costs!

i've seen many situations like what you mentioned above about people out of nowhere just going bad. with some, they actually sell off their ebay name to someone else and so it's actually a completely different person. who knows what other reasoning there is, but it's not even close to the first time someone experienced something like that.

as far as him waiting for your feedback, almost all sellers do that now. 90% of them are a bunch of *ssholes which are hoping to intimidate you into leaving them positive feedback with a concern for retalitory negative feedback from them. saying as ebay wants no part in the whole matter, they allow retalitories to run rampant on their service, basically making their entire system unreliable. if a person has 10 negative feedbacks, expect that at least twice that amount actually had problems.

i don't get why ebay just sits back and lets all this happen. they're saving money now on not having reps handle all these disputes, but it's killing the integrity of their site.

have you noticed though lately there are less and less people actually buying off ebay? you used to see so much more getting bid on, and within the past year or so, i'm finding more and more things with absolutely no bids on them. people are giving up on it, and it's showing.

lol havent seen you around here in awhile.

Ebay does seem to be dying off. I'm trying to sell some stuff on ebay (movies) and I have 100% positive feedback, but having ahard time selling them. Less people are visiting ebay, because sellers have such high shipping charges, and are messing around too much.

sorry to hear that. they're just falling apart in general. ebay themselves don't actually help you at all with issues. they simply redirect you to other people who actually handle issues. i had an issue once on ebay, and they were absolutely worthless. luckily paypal helped me get a refund for the defective merchandise (long story), but now that ebay has bought paypal, you can kiss the help goodbye. paypal will turn to garbage just as ebay has.

ebay used to primarily be everyday people like us just selling stuff that we didn't need and others would want. now, all these retailers try to use it as a cheaper alternative to opening a store, hoping they can save money on rent, employees, etc, yet charge just as much as they would in a retail store. so basically what's happening is the majority of the crooked sellers on ebay are drowning out the good deals and turning people off from ebay.

the buyers are getting so fed up with having to sort through all the horrible retailers that they're just going elsewhere to shop to save themselves the time and trouble. i know a lot of friends and family that used to use ebay and have long since given up on it with it's turns for the worse. though i think you can still occasionally find good deals on ebay, most the stuff now is worthless, and it's so hard to tell what's worth it and what isn't from the manipulated feedbacks, it's just too risky to bother for the most part.

Just go to pay pal and stop payment. It's fraud when you don't get what you ordered. They will stop his payment. You have 45 days. If you used visa
you can call your bank and stop payment for fraud. I've done it several
times. Usually they won't challenge you because they know they are frauds.

[*Alex*]

post the address of this fvck, i'm pay him a visit if he live near me.

right, that's IF you used paypal. though most people know enough to stick with paypal, some don't have that option, then you're screwed. even with paypal though if you dispute the charges and they fight it, there is a chance you could still lose your money even if you did get ripped off.

personally, i think it's just more troubles than it's worth. after all, if this is something you learned about, sure you most likely learned the hard way, as most have.

If he didn't state that they were COPIES, then you can get your money back because he did not advertise correctly. HOWEVER on the subject of copied CD's, you can buy software that legally allows you to copy a dvd for your own use.... my friend does this.
As for selling a copied DVD, im not sure he can do it. So i say report him to EBAY, and they WILL take care of it.

I'd also report him for piracy, which is a federal offense- way beyond the realm of ebay.

Also, techinacally speaking, you can get in trouble for BUYING a pirated DVD.

right, but i doubt they'd pursue that considering the fact he had no knowledge beforehand that it was pirated. also, considering he'd be the one reporting it, i couldn't imagine them possibly trying to pursue him out of principle and even if they did, the case would be laughed at and tossed out considering all circumstances.

i used to be an ebay regular...havent been on there in so long..its goin down

[BlueAndromeda73]

Report to FBI or MPAA both have sections that deal with this it will be sweet when just because he wanted to make a few bucks he gets fined $500,00, and spends some jail time hopefully

I hear that I used to be able to get a killing on cd lots and bulk cd bins but now i just go to the store for what I pay on ebay I might save 3 bucks or so. The businesses and people haveing starting bids and high prices takes away the actual auction part but you can still find a lot of good stuff there

yea, a lot of things just aren't worth bothering with anymore on ebay. the ridiculous thing is some of the companies will make a very low bidding price, but then charge like $25 shipping for something that weighs less than a pound! i got charged $14 for shipping once, and when the package got here, the price on the label for the shipping was $2.95. when i mentioned it to the guy, he tells me "well, you did agree to pay the $14 in shipping so that is part of your commitment to this bid". to me however, it's the principle of the matter. regretfully, all the sellers will use that same excuse, and they just don't get that it's making a lot of us give up on ebay.

i had mentioned some of the issues in the community discussion boards on ebay in attempts to make them aware of the many issues deterring people away from their auctions, but it's pointless. the majority of the people using those discussion boards are a bunch of kids with a bunch of crap spewing out of their mouths. they don't want to reason, they just want to bicker amongst each other and say everyone else is wrong and they're right.

about the only thing i'd still get off ebay is computer games. you can still find used ones for pretty good prices, but for every one person selling it at a reasonable price, you find at least 20 others trying to sell it at retail store prices with a shipping price on top of that. i just don't get why they're still keeping it up when you see none of their stuff gets bid on???
