    Why all the eBay hate in here? Their buyer protection is just as strong if not stronger than Amazons. In either case its hard to get screwed as a buyer unless you neglect to properly inspect what exactly you are agreeing to buy.

    It happens. Ordered a used part for my dodge diesel on January 21st and nothing. Seller had 2000+ sales and lime 98% feedback. Have attempted to contact them 3 times and opened a claim with eBay. I have to wait until tomorrow before they'll get involved. I'm just pissed as I need the part and don't want to order another until this is resolved just in case this one happens to show up. Only a 36.00 part so not a huge deal but I work hard for every penny I have. I already negative feedbacked his ass so that made me feel a little better anyway. I'll get eBay on it tomorrow.

    I hope you get it resolved. Just sucks it's something you need vs. something you want.

    Thanks a lot! Generally good luck with both eBay and Amazon. I'm sure eBay will back it. I just hate wasting all this time and being a cheap ass just need resolution before buying another one.
    To op glad you got your money back. It
    Was a risky gamble but isn't there a saying about risk and reward? If I had your money and faith in Amazon I would have rolled the dice too.

    Sometimes you can get some sweet deals on Amazon. I've gambled on the "open box" under their "amazonwarehouse" ID a few times. Also scored some Baja squadrons @ $67

    OP, they wouldn't ship it out because there was a pricing error and didn't want to take the loss.

    awhile back I ordered some Cobra two way radios - like 70 mile range.

    They were normally prices at $99 and one day the had "one pair" left at $49...

    So I purchased it.

    Same as OP - they started a tracking and that is it..

    One month went by and I contacted the seller and Amazon.

    The seller said - "we are out of stock, but we can issue you a refund or you can wait 2 months"

    I said ill wait.

    2 months later, same hadn't shipped, even though it showed as "in stock" at the higher price.

    I emailed the vendor, showed him a screen shot that he had them stock and he ignored me.

    Apparently the price was an error and he didn't want to take the loss.

    So I sent a few emails.. back and forth with amazon and another month later - I got my radios.

    I waited 3 months.

    I got my damn radios.

    They're just hoping that if they don't ship, you will cancel the order and they don't have take a loss.

    You must not use Amazon. There's literally no risk. Ever.

    There is.

    Don't use a debit card on Amazon.

    There is always a risk on an online website/webstore. Regardless how good their refund policy and/or customer service is, your money is tied up until they refund/reach a decision. Better safe than sorry (use a CC for further protection). You must not know how payment transactions work.

    I did in fact get 16x 8 Method Standards on Amazon (sold by Amazon) for 95 dollars a piece about 6 months ago. Not every deal is a scam.
