Motor Cover on Ebay (( Delivered ))
« on: December 23, 2010, 11:47:02 PM »
I Hate it when that happens ...

Dear oleredsboats (olered@olered.com),

Thanks for bidding on the listing:

330507856351 - Glastron CV-17 Original Engine Cover

Unfortunately, we had to remove this listing and cancel all bids. We don't like to remove listings -- it's disappointing for everyone -- but sometimes we need to do it.

There are three main reasons why we remove listings:
-- The listing doesn't follow eBay guidelines.
-- The item isn't allowed on eBay or can only be listed under certain conditions.
-- The listing contains pictures or words that may create copyright or trademark issues.

If the seller is able to fix the problem and relist the item, we hope you'll bid on it again.

Sometimes, instead of relisting an item, a seller will suggest that you buy it directly from him or her, off eBay. If that happens, please don't accept. If anything goes wrong with the purchase, we won't be able to help you.

-- If you have questions --
Due to concerns about member privacy, we can't share any details about why the listing was removed, but we'd be glad to answer any other questions you might have. Here's the best way to contact us:
1. Click "Help" at the top of most eBay pages. You may need to sign in.
2. Click "Contact Us."
You'll be asked to describe what's going on, and we'll suggest the best way to get in touch.

We're really sorry about the inconvenience.

Sincerely,

eBay Trust and Safety team


Please don't reply to this message. It was sent from an address that doesn't accept incoming email


This guy only wanted payment for the cover by my credit card number over the phone, when I refused to do that, I asked him "would you give me your credit card number, and he said Sure, if I bought something from you",  I said to him that I would send him a certified check for payment if he gave me his address, he said he was leaving work now, that he would call me next day and give it to me ... then he canceled the transaction.  look at his feedback .. Grrrrr ..

Sorry to hear that Red. He was probably ticked that the cover only went for a couple dollars and not the outrageous amount he was looking for, he should have started the bidding at a higher price. On top of that once PayPal and ebay collected their fees for the item then he would have owed them more than what he got for the cover. Sounds like an idiot to me.

the guy had a shipping fee of sixty something bucks, and the actual shipping would have only been $37, he would have made a couple bucks, but like you said, he probably thought it would bring him a pocket full.

There's potential...that I won't need mine.  I can't decide if its a cardinal sin to separate it from the boat or not...I'll know more in the spring when Goldie is finished.  However, the engine cover won't be going on the boat, rather a full sundeck for the family.

I Can't believe it ! 
we came in this evening and the motor cover was delivered to my door ?
No wrapping, not boxed up ... nothing but a sticler and a bill of laden stuck on it.
I haven't paid for it ... well, I have now, I got a money from walmart before the closed down and dropped in it the mail to the address on the shipping lable.

The motor cover is in good condition for what I want to use it for, they didn't break it ..

How fortuitous! Is this the same cover that you won on ebay? I wonder if ebay got on his case and made him feel guilty. It must have been sent overnight express for you to get it so fast.

I think you got lucky. I see his feedback isnt all that great and apparently, its not the first time this guy cancelled a transaction.
He musta felt like a schmuck and decided to send it along.
