Ripped off. no reply from mods for 6 days. Ideas?
I purchased what was described as a cracked, "otherwise good condition" M-14 E2 stock. Once I received it, it was OBVIOUS it was not "otherwise good condition". It was twisted, warped and so out of alignment you could not even fit a barreled action into it. The crack was the LEAST of the problems this stock had. As it was, I contacted the seller, explained item was unusable, asked if it was a consignment item, as he owns a gunshop. He never replied if it was, just said I could send it back.
I agreed to pay return shipping, but, was VERY specific that refund was to be a USPS or Western Union MO sent USPS Priority, and I would deduct the cost of that from the refund amount. I received 2 checks from members last month, both were NSF and cost me $40, so I was specific it had to be a MO. I sent him a MO, he sent me a POS, so least he could do is send a MO as refund.
Cost of stock was $250, plus $20 shipping, I paid $10 for Priority mail with tracking for his payment, total $280.
Got the paperweight, then spent $45 to send it back, total $325. He agreed to send me a MO for $260. Great deal. : )
I gave him benefit that he MAY not have know how unuseable the stock was, so chalk it up and move on.
I shipped it, USPS Priority Insured with Signature Confirmation.
I saw when he received it, sent an e-mail. Radio silence. Later, I sent a text, his reply was, "a check for $270 was cut today to purchase the MO.m WIll be out tomorrow."
OK, yeah.....
Next day, I send an e-mail asking for the tracking number, no reply, so again I later sent a text.
Reply was, "payment sent regular mail, I don't have to JUMP THROUGH HOOPS." The agreed upon refund terms were not hoops, simply terms mutually agreed upon for the return of the item.
I texted back that was not the agreement, he replies, "those were your terms, not mine."
End of communication by him. I left 2 voices mails and sent a couple of e-mails, nothing. I posted negative feedback to alert others of him, posted in that I WOULD edit IF refund received. At this point, he did not comply with the agreed upon refund terms, a week after he received item back, I have no payment, and he has provided no pics of either a MO top or a MO receipt, and I've sent 6 messages to Gunbroker mods for assistance, with no reply. Ideas on how to reach a mod other ways?
Thanks.

No names...ever.
Read your posting guidelines and don't try this again. As far as no reply from Mods...what does anyone in this forum have to do with the auction side? If you have a problem with the auctions, take it up with GB Customer Service.
We are done.

I want to point out that unlike that fellow from New York from a few days ago, 762ap contacted me by PM and he was both polite and considerate.
Even so, we are not equipped in the forums to handle auction support issues. There is no one here who has access to auction accounts or the ability to solve issues on the auction side.

Everything I sell is "AS-IS," and with no return privilege.
