High powered armory in Youngstown Ohio: Gunbroker question about a shady seller need help.

[Atrain1]

I would just like to know what rights you have as a buyer if the seller does not cooperate? Like if I won a auction that the seller stated he has plenty of the item in stock but will not ship it out, and wants to give back the money instead. This has been about a month ago and this guy is threatening to leave me bad feedback just because I told him if I did not receive my item I was going to reflect my experience with my feedback. I had a hard time getting payment info and even harder time getting a response out of this guy. I believe he is trying to price gouge me or does not have the item he stated he had. I have also looked into his feedback and am not the only person that is having this issue. Thanks for your help.

I would get my money back as quickly as possible and then worry about feedback. If he doesn't have the item you won't have a lot of luck pressuring him. Why do you think he is trying to gouge you? Did he ask for more money?

Just get your money back and call it a day. I have walked away from a lot of deals when people start jerking you around. Person keeps moving the date and time around for the transaction, they don't respond to emails, or phone calls. Save the headaches for something more important.

That is just what it seems like to me as it feels like he is trying to wait me out. I have already had this problem with another guy on there and it is getting old. From what I have read on his feedback even if I get a full refund he will take just as long to send that out. I just want to know if I can file fraud against this guy? I told him I was going to do this first thing on Monday if I did not receive a shipping number of some kind and he basically told me I should be careful with the term fraud as I might not get my money or the item. He even stated that I can only use that when an item has been paid for but not received, which is exactly what is going on.

Sounds to me like he agreed to sell you Y for $X, then the market went nuts and now he could sell Y to anybody else for $XXX. So, he wants out of the deal with you so he can triple his money (or more) with some other schlub. Get your refund and be the schlub that got away.

Oh, once you have your refund, smoke his ass with bad feedback.

Exactly what I would do.

depending on the money spent, feedback him anyways, and contact gunbroker. If he isn't delivering the goods in a timely fashion and making veiled threats about you not getting either and you have proof, he can blow you. Just run him through the system and let him deal with the fallout of being a douche.

Was it something that would have been effected by the O'nonsense? just curios as to what you're missing out on.

Contact GB. Seller is obligated to provide the item. However- no none can force him to do anything. The worst you can do is leave poor feedback. He prob doesn't care about that. You might be able to get his account suspended. That might sting the seller a mite.

Screw him, keep your money and move on. You need someone to screen any & all deals you do on line. Or stop buying shit on line. ABC always buy Colorado.
PS: Have you contacted GB yet?
