Lets talk crap about the thevintageamigan!

[TheGoose]

Where to begin? Ah, at the beginning! I remember now. Yes it was some time ago, last year on some dark and rainy night when I foolishly clicked on some links and found out I was indeed the the winner of buster version 11 on ebay!

That fleeting half drunken joy, I would learn later would be all I would receive in this transaction. Some time past and I eventually received some dreadful news from my counter part, thevintageamigan. It seems he was way behind with his parcels but assured us he was doing all in his power to make good on the outstanding transactions. It was at that moment I realized I was not alone in my brooding and loathing for Mr. thevintageamigan.

No, clearly I was just taking part in a long line of orphaned patrons with nothing to show but high hopes:

Months past. Spring approached, and still no Buster. I await sir your final correspondence, and to produce the buster 11.

Welcome to the club dude... fortunately I already got my refund after a painful bid/wait/dispute/claim process... you should waste no time and fill a paypal claim, if you haven't received your chip chances are you never will.

Good luck,

cheers

I wonder what his official excuse is now? This is at least the 2nd complaint on him I've read recently. You don't know what to believe anymore these days, but if the guy has a good excuse for this lax behaviour, he should at least *try* to communicate a little better. Sounds like refunds are definitely in order. Too bad it usually takes a 3rd party moderator to get things done now-a-days.

Seeing as he's no longer a registered ebay member I'd think the chances of him shipping anything now are nil.

I opened a claim with PayPal a full month after I'd won an item from him, and after his eBay account was "no longer a registered member."

A couple of days later, he provided tracking info to PayPal, which they shared with me, and I did indeed receive the item I'd purchased, 1.5 months or so after the order.

Of couse, it was a $12 item or something, but it eventually came (after I no longer needed it, of course.)

I guess I am one of the lucky ones.  I purchased an A4000D over christmas and I received it four weeks later.   What really bugged me is I corresponded with him before I bought it.  He said if I buy it now and pay for it, you will have it at the end of the week.   I sent him three emails.  On the third I said I am going to dispute this with ebay.  I then got an email saying it was shipped with a tracking number.  He did deliver everything he promised.  I did find out the other day on ebay that his account is "no longer a registered member" as well.

Well, I guess my message to him via ebay today will go no where if he's not a seller? I asked him to just send the money back via paypal.

Message seemed to go through though, account still existed, just not a seller?

I bought a video toaster off the guy late last year, things took some time but that was partially me for late payment, haven't tested it however it looks like its in good condition.

I'm sure we could go on and on with this......  :lol:

Yep that guy deserves a good old asswhooping... Anyways you should file a complaint trough PayPal resolution center to get your money back. Worked well for me and for that I'm happy.

I guess I got lucky... I bought CityBuilder set for Lightwave from him, it took 3 weeks before I even got any E-Mail... finally did ship the item, tho... Even gave an extra Lightwave object set for the delay.... But, the whole thing bothers me no end.... especially after reading everyone's horror stories... IS there some way to report this guy to EBay, and keep him from re-registering under a different name???
