Default Beware this ebayer jnm_auction

Ebay forwarded his email to me. He asked them to suspend my account as I
said I would leave him negative feedback. At that point he wasn't
concerned with getting me the mount or refunding my money. He was only
worried about his "image".
Ebay stepped in and said no, and that I was eligible for a full refund
but would have to pray return shipping.
He didn't like that.
His story changed by the minute.

He wrote ebay to have my account suspended so I couldn't leave him
negative feedback.

What did he write? Can you dispute THAT?

Yes, it shows up in the dispute listing as "w/optional mount". The
dispute process says I'm eligible for the refund but I have to pay
for
shipping charges.
They're not going to hold a seller responsible for his ethics.
If the man had told me he screwed up, I'd have been ok with it.
Instead
he lied.
He first told me it should have been in the same box as the antenna.
Then said the mount isn't being made and none available. When I asked
why he listed it with the mount if he couldn't supply it, his
conversation changed to, "I never said it was included. That's why
it's
optional."
The auction listed it in large letters that it COMES with the
optional
mount.

I paid $36 for it if memory serves.

I went with it based on recommendations off this group and the
electronics group.
