was the company name either rainbow marine or bend over marine???????

Ebay can still work, I bought a spare drive on ebay 5-6 weeks ago. (I did find a member in the area who happened to know the company I was dealing with before I bid though)

No, it's Dreams Come True Marine or Made In Heaven Marine...

That's funny, I live right next door to Rainbow Marine

That guy should change his e-bay name to stinkerbell
Pieces of crap like him need to be flushed down ...BBB

Since you paid with a credit card they can probably help. I would pursue that route because no one else will be any help, including the authorities.

big ticket items I pay with my CC directly to the person selling.
That way I don't have to fight it out with PAYPAL.
see if you pay through Pay pal with a cc card and then never recieve the item, most folks still call the cc company and pay pal throws a fit that you reversed the CC payment and either takes the money back out of your linked account and or freezes your account. say you had $ in your account because of you had sold something, you cant touch it till they are done with their Intial investigation.

BLAME AL GORE HE INVENTED THE INTERNET

After reading this site I would never do anything with Paypal. I used to purchase a lot of things from e-Bay but got away from. Glad I did.

BBB hope you get this resolved in your favor soon.

What? Why would you blame paypal? I use ebay and paypal all the time.

I use paypal and E-BAY often,I got shafted by a guy with a feedback rating over 400 positive on a stupid 22$ dvd,paypal did there investigation and the guy became a no longer a registered user so they refused to refund anything even though it was determined he ripped me and several others off at the same time. I have bought bigger ticket stuff off E-bay (upwards of 3-5 thousand dollars) with NO issues. I'll repeat this advice I gave last time a e-bay scam was mentioned: IF YOU ARE BUYING ANY THING THAT COST MORE THAN YOUR WILLING TO LOSE (with me that point is about 500$) OR YOUR SUSPICIOUS ABOUT A SELLER-ASK THEM FOR FULL CONTACT INFO-HOME PHONE NUMBER,CELL NUMBER,WORK NUMBER,ETC then google their name and phone number to see if they exist,call them and see if they are for real. I have went as far as asking for them to E-mail me a new(current) pic of the item for sale. If they refuse then its a SCAM! If you were selling something in a autotrader you would list your cell number,home number,pager etc,why would someone hide just because its a E-bay sale?If you were selling a motorcycle or boat or anything substantial and a out of state buyer asked for a new pic or firm cotact info most people would bend over backwards to provide info to a potential buyer.A guy had a good price on a snowmobile I was real interested in last fall,I e-mailed him asking for the above info,he said he didn't have a home phone,cell phone or work number,a digital camera to take a new pic or anything other than a E-mail address. Screw that,NO ONE selling something on E-bay is that obscure or behind the times. I have people tell me that E-bay is all scams,I don't feel that way though,just protect yourself by gathering more info,Smitty
