Re: Ebay Story (Long)

[Bill McLeod <wbmcleod@cox.net>]

Don't bother with feedbacks.... Go straight to ebay dispute resolution.  
If you paid through Paypal, also go to Paypal guarantee procedure (which 
may not do much good, but is worth trying).

To ebay, be straightforward and sound calm, even if you are not, and be 
prepared to forward all emails involved, his and yours.

With his record, ebay will be inclined to listen, and may well kick him 
off.  Whether you ever get your money back is another story.  Have you 
tried DOT3 brake fluid on an inconspicuous patch?  It eats paint very 
nicely!
