Burnt buying plastic off Ebay
I got a new fairing off ebay. Before I placed a bid I asked the seller
The response I got was
I didn't even take it out of the shrinkwrap yet and I can see a 4" long one all the way though the plastic. I sent an email and let him know that I was very unhappy and am giving him a chance to make it right. If he doesn't, I'll be disputing it with paypal.
Beware

Re: Burnt buying plastic off Ebay
That sucks ***!! 5 yers I've been buying stuff off ebay and I've never been riped. Until now that is, 3 seperate S.O.B.s took my money and gave no product at all in return. So now I'm out about $350 so far including the generous 37.73 paypal got back for me out of the $67 the guy owed ne for the gsxr calipers I bought!!!!!!!! 
WTF!!! WTF!!! WTF!!!!
If you buy something pay for it, if you're selling something deliver it in the condition advertised!!!!!!!!!! Don't F'N lie about it arrrgggg. It makes me so F'n mad . One of my a holes even gave me the old death in the family, friend shipped it it should be there soon B.S. That was 3 weeks ago and the gut lives in NY.
Sorry to rant, oh by the way I sent you an emial about the cans penst8, maybe it will help.

His feedback looked good. Only regret is that PayPal took it out of bank account instead of CC. He isn't responding to any emails.
Maybe I'll make a fake ebay name and see if he answers questions about other items.

Yeah, that's true. I guess that he wanted money order should have thrown up a flag as well.
I was cleaning the garage and also noticed that the name on the return label is different than the name on the paypal account and different than the name he used in his emails.
It does look like this is covered by paypal assuming that he hasn't cleaned out his account. And if he did, I think the Ebay guarantee will cover all but $25...I hope.

Re: Burnt buying plastic off Ebay
If he really wanted to help you out he'd give you some money back what a dick! Just because he got ripped it's fair to rip off others, sounds like the logic of a 3 year old and I should know that's how old my daughter is. 
Oh but she has better manners.

Feedback left
I didn't want to do it, but he left me no choice. I would have paid the shipping to return it in exchange for a refund.

Re: Burnt buying plastic off Ebay
Go to the bottom of the paypal page where all the links are. Click on the about us link, there's a box on the left click on contact us. Click on customer support Inqueries, from there they have a help by email or help by phone. Hopefully someone can help through that, good luck fighting the good fight!
