I found a seller on ebay, who had listed a LV speedy 35, brand new, dustbag, lock, copy of receipt to be included. I asked teh seller if he (who resides in USA) if he could post to Australia. He replied saying he could.
Next day his listing was removed, nowhere to be found.
He emailed me that night saying:
"Hello, I'm contacting you because you asked a question about or placed a bid on my item that was removed from eBay last night due to excessive revisions and revision attempts. I kept receiving questions to post more pictures and add a buy it now price, I did not know that this would result in the removal of the item......."
I immediately replied and worked out an agreement with him (we mustve sent about 100 or so emails to each other. That i could have the bag incl shipping for $669 AUD. I sent the payment with my credit card through paypal. He then told me that i had to send an addition $28.32 because after all the fees from paypal it didnt work out to be how much he was expecting. If i didnt pay the $28.32AUD, he said he wouldnt post the bag. So i paid.
The bag was dropped off at the post office on the 20th October. I received the bag on 29th October.
As soon as i opened the package i knew something was wrong, the dust bag looked fake! The bags stitching was coming out, the padlock and keys looked wrong. I emailed the seller saying i thought it was a brand new bag not a damaged one. he said he sent me a brand new one with no flaws. I sent him pictures etc. he said the bag i showed him, is not the bag he sent me. And the serial number of the bag i sent is different to the one he sent me. Hes saying either i swapped it or someone stole it! GAH! I would never do such a thing. and considering the time frame which the bag arrived to me i highly doubt someone swapped it!!
So i took it to the LV boutique and confirmed it was a fake bag, and lock and dustbag.
Seller said he will only give me a refund of $498USD. Because thats how much he insured it for. WHY WOULD HE INSURE IT FOR $498USD?? I paid $700AUD. The exchange rate has changed now. But back then $669 = $581USD. So i had paid him about $600USD. and he was only going to give me $498USD when i make a claim.
NONETHELESS. im making a claim. Which is better? Through Paypal or Credit Card company. Can the seller say how much he wants to give back to me? Or does he have to give me back what i paid? which was $698.32!!
I feel so scammed. i told him im a young single mother, who saved up for this. I cant believe how cruel people can be!!
Please someone help. I want to make a claim ASAP!! TIA
