EBAY PURCHASE GONE BAD!!!

Well the bike I talked about back around Christmas that I bid on and won on Ebay never showed. I contacted the seller 3 times. He never responded until one day after the delivery deadline. He told me the weather had been to bad and cold for him to ship that he would do it ASAP. I looked back at his profile to see that he lived in Texas!!! How bad could the weather have been in Texas the past 3 weeks!?!? But the next day he sent me another message that he went to ship it and it was gonna cost $20 more to ship. If I wanted to pay that he would ship and if not he would just keep the bike. I responded that I was not paying anymore, and he needs to just ship and take the loss, which would have been around a dollar, plus his cost of the bike! Not my problem!! Then I filed a case on paypal. Oh by the way I looked back at his recent history, and he had bought and sold several things since Dec 25th when he received my payment. Bad weather(IN TEXAS) must have not kept him from shipping his other sold items!!!Well today I emailed him and asked if he planned on keeping my money and my bike? He responded that he would give my money back, and now someone stole the bike!?!?!?!? I then asked how he planned on giving my money back. He said I used paypal, so he would send it back that way. So we will see!! I wish he lived closer so I could just show up on his door step!!! Advise BEWARE of Ebay purchases, read all available feedback and contact the seller about any weird feedback before bidding!!!

EBAY PURCHASE

I just bought my first shipped bike on Ebay. It is a purple and white Schwinn Chic(stingray). I bought it because I think I want to customize it, but I guess it depends on the actual shape of it when I get it. I love the rush of making an Ebay purchase, but I did pay more than I would have paid in person for it, but still got a really good deal as long as it gets shipped now.
